Tea Towel Tote

Uh-oh! a new obsession! shopping for tea towels! No I haven't suddenly discovered the joy of housework, far from it, I have dicovered Tea Towel Totes. I saw these on Monkee Makers blog and followed the link to some fantastic instructions. I ordered some twill tape from ebay, hunted out some cute tea towels (tesco), et voila!
This took me an hour, it's so easy (although I must work on getting my sewing a bit straighter!)

I need more tea towels!!!

    Great for the summer to throw bits and bobs into when you're out and about. I saw them on MM's blog too (shes so funny). These would sell really well at the May/summer fete I reckon Joanne.This is fab...great presents. I have a great PG Tips Monkey tea towel which would be brilliant as one lol

    that's what you call a "really useful bag" they'd make great presents becaues you can get so many different themes on them. Great sewing Joanne!!

    ps. I hadn't thought about getting the twill tape from ebay (probably because I didn't know that's what it was called!), thanks for the tip, as I shall obviously be needing LOADS more!
