        About: 

        Years ago I used to use endless paper towels for all the spills and little things that needed picked up I didn’t want to touch. When I first started sewing, one of the many things small shops were starting to make and sell on ETSY was unpaper towels. I had just begun cloth diapering and thought it would be a great way to reduce my paper use and lower my carbon footprint just a bit more. I bought a roll from a cute small shop and 8 years later they are needing to be replaced, so I figured it would be a super easy and fun addition to the Festivus Freebies. Bonus points come in that you don’t need a pattern piece and you can really make these any size you want. The full video tutorial comes with instructions for serging or turning and topstitching.

        *******This pattern comes with a full video tutorial and that can be found at this link.********

         

        Difficulty:Beginner

        Techniques Involved: basic quilting, turning, topstitching, finishing exposed serged edges

        This pattern does NOT include a printable pattern piece. You will need 1 12″ square of woven fabric and 1″ 12″ square of Terry Cloth or other absorbent fabric per towel you want to create.

        Fabric & Notions

        Suggested Fabric:

        My favorite Unpaper Towels have always been Cotton Woven with Cotton Terry Cloth. There are so many absorbent fabrics available on the market now, though, so get creative. I recommend not using stretch fabrics and preaching both payers in the same load to ensure equal shrinkage prior to assembling your towels.

        Additional Supplies:

        • Pins or Clips
        • Tape Measure
        • Paper & Fabric Scissors
        • Rotary Cutter, Mat, and Acrylic Ruler (optional but encouraged)
        • Matching All-Purpose Thread
        • Universal Needle
        • Sewing Machine
        • Iron & Ironing Board
        • Fabric marking tool
        • Seam Ripper

          I love this pattern. It’s easy to make and it’s fun to knock out a bunch of them. It’s easy to customize too. Thanks for helping me reduce my carbon footprint.
