What do we make from strictly towels? Most often it is used for rags - for the floor, dishes, and so on. During renovation, this is simply an irreplaceable thing - smooth out the wallpaper, wipe, wash the windows...
But towels also make things you need in everyday life - washcloths, rugs, gloves for hot items, mop heads. Terry perfectly absorbs moisture and is suitable for all this.
Washcloths are always needed, even they can be sewn in different styles.
Check out three types of comfortable washcloths to suit every taste.
1. A long washcloth is suitable for those who like to rub their back. You need to cut a strip measuring 75x26 cm.
Then fold it in half and stitch it, then turn it inside out and place the seam in the middle.
Place stitches at a distance of 1 cm from the edges. This is to insert elastic bands into these drawstrings.
I cut out two pieces 26 x 13 cm from calico.
I folded them in half and put a washcloth inside. I sewed two seams and turned these parts right side out.
I turned the open edge up 1 cm, folded the sides in half and stitched them. I inserted handles made from calico inside.
Ready.
2. Round washcloth. You will need a terry strip 60x18 cm.
I stitched it along the long side, not reaching the edges by 5 cm, and inserted a loop in the middle of the seam.
I turned the fabric inside out, then inserted one side into the other and stitched along the 18 cm side.
Through the open hole, I turned the washcloth right side out.
I inserted rubber inside and tied it into a ring. The open hole was sewn up by hand.
3. Washcloth glove two in one. She not only rubs, but also soaps at the same time.
She folded the towel in half and circled her hand like a mitten.
I took a piece of soap and cut out a pocket for it, its size should be slightly larger than the soap.
I sewed the edges of the pocket on all sides and stitched it to one part of the glove.
I attached the second part and stitched the mitten along the contour, the edges of the baste. I inserted a loop at the top.
I sewed an elastic band on my wrist with a zigzag.
For children, instead of gloves, you can sew animal faces.
Here they are three washcloths in all their glory.
Good housewives will always find a use for old things and turn them into real masterpieces that are needed in the household, and at the same time save money.
