French Tea Towels

Right before Christmas, Debbie from Confessions of a Plate Addict made these great little tea towels.  They turned out really pretty and not only did she do it in color, but it really does look like embroidery.

I just loved these!  Being that I usually keep some Osnaberg fabric on hand {it’s just so versatile}, I knew that I would be trying something similar soon.  This is soon.  I followed Debbie’s post so I won’t repeat any instructions here.

I didn’t have enough to do two towels of the same size like Debbie did, but I got one and then made a smaller one.  My Osnaberg was just about totally cut up, so I used it all on this project.

I cut as close as I could to the images and the Avery directions say to keep it rounded for easier removal.

I used these two graphics from Karen at The Graphics Fairy.  I was actually going to do the text one on both, but couldn’t resist the bee and crown image!


Here they are and I love the way they turned out!  Picture overload ahead.  This is the smaller one.



A nice little towel to use with my tray and maybe some tea and cookies.


Here’s the larger one.



Thanks so much Debbie for sharing your inspiration and thank you, Karen, for the great graphics!
