Turning old items into something useful can be a satisfying and eco-friendly project. Recently, while sorting through my fabrics, I came across a lovely floral pique blanket. The vibrant design inspired me to convert it into kitchen towels. These towels are a must-have in every kitchen, and making your own not only adds a personal touch but also cuts down on waste. Let's jump right into this DIY project!

A few years ago, I made a rather delightful discovery while browsing through a local charity store: I stumbled upon a collection of five pique cotton summer blankets that caught my eye. The fabric was not only soft and breathable, perfect for warm weather, but also featured a lovely texture that added a touch of charm to any use.

I have had these overlocker/serger sewing machines for more than 40 years and these machines are my nemesis.
