It's that time of year. You know, when we are down to the last few days before the BIG Day. Time to finish up all the shopping and rest. I'm not there yet but almost.
If you're in need of a quick, easy gift, I've got one for you. How about initialed hand towels? I really enjoy these around my home. Whenever I purchase new towels, I like to embellish them with our initial. All you need is purchased hand towels, Heat N Bond Lite or any other appliqué adhesive, a small piece of coordinating fabric (I used a piece of a vintage sheet), your computer to print a letter out (don't forget to set the printer in mirror image), an iron and a sewing machine.
Trace the letter onto the adhesive, iron it onto your appliqué fabric, cut it out, center it onto your towel and press. Now you're ready to stitch it down. I use a blanket stitch but you could use a zig zag or whatever stitch you are comfortable with. If you haven't appliquéd before, practice a little before working on your towel. I promise you can do it. That's all there is to it. Now you have a personalized gift and it was so easy.
