a quite day at home in the snow...(and a second post today!)

i think i might not make it to spring. just the other day i was telling chris that im feeling like there is light at the end of the tunnel. winter is almost gone.

then this morning at 5am there was 2+" on my driveway.

so to keep my mind off of my pain, i decided to work on something spring-y.
it started with this towel from the dollar tree. if i were to make another one, i would spend the money and get a better quality one...maybe walmart or target.

next i found some left over fabric from here. i just cut a 4" strip that was from salvege edge to salvage edge. then i pinned it over about a half inch on each side, pinned and ironed it down.

i edged the bottom side with some brown bias tape left over from here (yes a different apron post!). now, i usually have a pattern or at least something to start from when i do a sewing project. not today-this is all on the fly (and very unlike me. i think it is the delusional thoughts of spring). when i had attached the tape, i folded, ironed and sewed down about an inch on each side. then i was able to wrap it around the back of the towel to make it look nice from the front. and i just wanted it to look good.

here is the final product! i think it looks great in my main floor bath!

oh and this is the FAMOUS (in my book) mrs. pamela lane from dallastown high school. i took home ec for 3 years from her. so all of my sewing 'skills' come from being in her class. i dont know if she will be happy i published that or not...
