Materials
Method
Preparation
Cutting the Fabric
Begin by measuring and cutting the organic cotton fabric into a rectangle. The recommended size for a tea towel is 18x28 inches. Use fabric scissors for a clean cut.
Preparing the Edges
After cutting, fold the edges of the fabric about 1/4 inch inward and pin them in place to prevent fraying.
Sewing
Sewing the Edges
Using the sewing machine, sew along the folded edges to secure them. Make sure to use a straight stitch for a neat finish. Repeat this for all four edges of the fabric.
Final Touches
Once all edges are sewn, remove any pins and give the tea towel a good press with an iron to ensure it is flat and tidy.
