    Default Hand Embroidered Kitchen Towels... Vintage Style
    I made these for my partner in the POM swap, which was dishtowels this month. So fun to hand embroider and see these characters come alive! Anyone for tea?

    Childhood memories!

    One of my first "sewing" experiences was doing embroidery similar to that.

    I learned to sew on a tea towel in girl scouts. Thanks for the memory.

    These are just backstitch with 3 strands of embroidery floss. Couldn't be easier! I found the patterns online. It's like coloring with thread.
