Upcycling for a day

Can you guess what all these classy kitchen dish towels have in common? They are all upcycled (the new word for recycled) 100% cotton woven shirts!

I saved the fronts and the sleeves for another project that will come a bit later. custodia iphone 7 spigen ultra hybrid   After making a half dozen of them I got a little fancy and added some rick rack to a couple of them that will be bundled as a set. It makes them a little more fun to wipe dishes with, right?     Then, a while later I got still fancier and made a coordinating pot holder and oven mitt. All these wonderful items are going into kitchen gift baskets that will be up for silent auction at our “Dinner Impossible” event scheduled at Santa Sophia Church on September 24. belkin custodia iphone x     I put my friend to work crocheting with t-shirt yarn, otherwise known as “tarn” or “tyarn” to enclose a bar of soap, so all you need to do is add water and scrub away.

It took the tiniest amount of fabric and a little pre made bias tape to finish it off.
