Dish towel skirt {tutorial}

The holidays always bring about the most adorable little linens and I’m always trying to think of new ways to use them. I saw this tutorial on Lil Blue Boo and thought it was genius! I found these dish towels at Target for only $2.99 each.

To make your own dish towel skirts you will need:

dish towel
elastic
lace trim
sewing machine

Step one: Cut your dish towel in half. Cut off the side seams but leave the bottom seams.

Step two: I used the rabbit of a different towel as a patchwork panel so I trimmed the sides.

Step three: Sew the rabbit panel to the egg panel.

Step four: Do the same to the other egg panel using one of the yellow pieces you trimmed from the rabbit.

Steps five and six: Iron the seams flat. Lay the front and back panels one on top of the other with right sides facing and sew the side seams together.

Steps seven and eight: With the skirt inside out fold over the top edge of the fabric about an inch and a half to form a casing for the elastic and finish the raw edge.
