I liked the idea of Jenny's Tea Towel Challenge, but it has taken me a while to get around to joining in. Better late than never, right? When I was at Spotlight the other day, I saw a set of 4 teatowels marked down to $3 and thought - yep, this is it :)
I decided to use the two red teatowels to make myself another apron. With Elizabeth spending a lot of time in the kitchen as well, I find that we are always struggling to find clean aprons. So another will come in handy. I don't like the short ones because I always seem to get stains on my tops, so I needed two to come up with this:

I like it :)
And then I still had the other two teatowels left:

After a lot of sleepless nights... well, I couldn't sleep but not because of that, hee hee, I decided to make a bag. This is the front:

This is the back:

See the pocket? It is a pocket and.... you can do this with it:

and then this....

And finally this:

It folds up nicely to go in my bag :) And after all that, all I have left from the four teatowels are these scraps:

Now I am off to have a nap I think. Don't forget to check out our block of the month! Di has already finished stitching hers :) Go see it here! I am planning to get the next block out soon because it has something to do with Valentines Day :) Ok... naptime... :) Hope you are all having a great weekend!
