Gift Idea: Personalised hand towels

A simple  and quick project to transform a plain hand towel to a personalised gift for my friends or for your own use.. I spent more time lamenting and fussing over the right and perfect combo then the actual sewing *bliss*  



Here's a simple how to -  
What you'll need:
1. Plain towel of any size, mine is 34cm x 80cm
2. Scrap fabrics  


1. Mix and match your fabric scraps and once you are happy, join them together OR you can have a long strip of the same print



2. Place your fabric strip - about 10cm above the towel edge (right side facing the towel) and sew along the lower edge 




3. Fold, press and fold the raw edge inside (so no raw seam is showing) and sew
*add rick rack or other trimmings at this point if you like*  


4. Repeat the whole process on the other side and with other towels
*believe me it is not possible to stop after only one*

I made 7 altogether - as a token for friends returning to Malaysia upon completion of their studies here in Japan

More ideas here:
1. Trimmed kitchen towel with rick-rack
2. Tea towels with ruffles and ribbon accent
