Easy Hanging Towel Tutorial

My pattern, based on the same premise as the Embroidery Library pattern, came out like this... it is so easy to make.

Small scrap of interfacing 8 1/2" x 2 /12"

Sew 1/4" around the scalloped edge

 Turn inside out and press with iron

 Find center, measure 2" from scalloped edge,
mark, on each side, measure in 1" from edge, mark

 Stitch a tight zigzag, if you have to, do it twice on each side like a large "button hole"

Cut top edge of towel

















Gather top edge of towel

Sew fabric to one side of gather towel

 Take the other side and tuck up inside the fabric, and pin
