Next I pinned a printed fabric piece and a terry cloth piece wrong sides together and took them to my serger. There are tutorials available on Pinterest showing the next step sewing the pieces right side together leaving an unsewn area where you can turn the piece right side out and sew up the opening. These were for my daughter so I just serged around the edges. After serging the edges, I ironed the pieces so they would look nice and neat.
Using a sewing awl to punch a hole in the corner for a snap was the next step.
This is a heavy duty snap installer but a hand one will work just fine. (Use a southern drawl when you read the word "fine" ) 😉 I have tons of these plastic snaps left over from making cloth diapers when my grandson was a baby. Ha, ha, I have to practice on a scrap because I always seem to do the first set wrong!
After inserting all the snap pieces, I snap each cloths together and made a roll.
After looking at these pictures again, I have an idea. These would be really nice if I embroidered a cute saying on each towel. It is a good thought for the next set!
My daughter loves them and uses them every day. They have washed and dried beautifully and held up to every day use. Practical and eco-friendly are great labels for a roll of fabric kitchen towels!
