Embellished Towels by Amy Gabriel: FREE

I got an email tip from reader Amy. She made curtains for her kitchen and added scrap fabric from the project to some kitchen towels, to coordinate with the curtains. Here's her note:

If you make your own kitchen curtains, use a scrap of fabric to make custom kitchen towels!  Cut a strip of fabric twice as wide as the flat part of the towel.  Fold the edges under and sew onto a colorful towel that coordinates with your kitchen colors!  I got my towels at Big Lots- $3 for a set of two, and the fabric was leftover from sewing the curtains, so it was free, or "on hand".
