No More Dishwashing Blues!

The Cranky Queen recycled "thrift store" finds to make a fun and bright dishtowel!
 For 25 cents, I found 4 polka dot stained cloth napkins. I cut out the bad areas&combined the polka dots w/ fabric from a yellow&white pillowcase. Another thrift store find for 50 cents/pair! 
 With a little creativity, I chose bright colors from vintage fabrics that I have collected during my outings....Casually sewed 3 layers of flower cut~outs and added a button for the center...more of the same old cloth napkin fabric for the leaf.  The final touch...red ball fringe!
This dishtowel will cheer up any kitchen & chase away the dishwater blues!

STAY CALM & MAKE A DISH TOWEL!

  7. Too cute and I love that you did it for almost nothing. Way to go. I am originally from Jasper, Alabama, NE so I felt a connection to you when I read where you are from. We southern gals have got to stick together!!
