Modern Hanging Tea Towel
Author: Notches Sewing Date Posted:1 May 2025
Create your own modern and practical hanging tea towel with this simple yet stylish sewing project! This unique design offers a fresh take on the classic hanging towel—no buttons, snaps, Velcro, or bunching in sight. Just a sleek, clean finish that looks right at home in any modern kitchen.
It’s a quick and beginner-friendly make, ideal for thoughtful handmade gifts, market stalls, or sprucing up your own space. Best of all, it’s easy to personalise—choose your favourite fabrics, add a pop of embroidery, try a bit of quilting, or get creative with embellishments to make it truly yours.
