Sewing Gifts - unpaper towels can be used as everyday napkins, to wipe up small messes or as a small placemat

I sewed up three sets (8 - 12 per set) of these unpaper towels for Christmas gfits.  Before I started I found the little trays at the dollar store that would store them nicely.  It is easier to make the towels to fit the container rather than the other way around.  I made them up by upcycling flannel from my stash.  I cut them about  8.5" x 9" and used a decorative stitch on the raw edge which will be sturdy enough to keep them from raveling and leaves no thick edges.   

I used some of them to decorate the snack jars I made for the guys and tied them on with some cording.  No waste!!    

I made a bowl cozy in coordinating colours for my oldest grand daughter who is at university. Useful for so many tasks and easily washable.  I managed to find a clear glass bowl for the cozy at the thrift store.  Therese
