You don’t even need to break out your sewing machine for these! Using pieces of linen (or whatever kind of fabric you would like) and tape out lines using painters tape on your swatch of fabric.

A perfect gift idea for Mother’s Day, or just any old day! Use a dishtowel to pass your favorite recipes on to your loved ones. You can trace the handwriting from old recipes (how awesome would it be to have a recipe towel written in your grandmother’s handwriting?) or you can free write it instead! Either way, make sure you pick a marker that is safe to use on fabric. Use old tea towels (or flour sack towels, they’re essentially the same thing!) as the basis for this project. You can get a set of tea towels for $3! What a bargain.
