Welcome Shiny, Crafty people! Tim Totten here with sewing projects you can do yourself!
This fun project was inspired by a wonderful tutorial by Notches Sewing. Check out their video here: • How to Make a Hanging ...
This easy towel hack is pretty fun and quick to do.
This is a great way to coordinate a specific fabric you want to highlight in your decor with some standard towels. And it means that your hanging towels won't necessarily fall off your oven handle when you open it!
To make this easy hanging towel, you'll need the following:
Scissors or rotary cutter
Straight edge or cutting grid
Thread
Iron
Fabric (1/8th yard is more than enough)
Kitchen Towel
Fabric turning device like "That Purple Thang" or a blunt chopstick
Sewing Machine
I had a lot of fun creating this design!

Love this, I’m always having to pick my towels off the floor.

@timothytotten9409 2 года назад

You should experiment with where to put the strap thing. I wish I’d put it a little lower on this one so the bottom edges line up better.

@karenhamilton326 2 года назад

Brilliant. I use a chopstick to turn and push corners out. Going to do this for all my towels. Thank you!

We're buying a travel trailer and this is perfect since it won't fall off while the trailer is moving. I did watch the other video, but your idea was much simpler and I like your suggestion of the ruffle on the bottom. Thanks for sharing!

@janemartin229 2 года назад

Cute idea. I think I would like the strip of fabric a little further down so the piece you pull through will fully cover the towel behind it. Thanks for the idea!

Really cute idea! I'm constantly picking towels off the floor. 💖🌹

@Stitch53 2 года назад

I’m going to try this with the bath size towel I keep in my guest bath to make it more difficult for my grandkids to pull the towel completely off the rod. I’m so glad I saw this before I did one of the other kitchen towel ideas that require cutting it in half. Thanks for a great idea.

@irairod5160 2 года назад

I use scrunchies that match my kitchen colors. Brilliant minds think alike!

@irairod5160 2 года назад

Came back to add...I also use the claw clips that are intended for hot rollers (Conair and knock-off brands have them) because they allow me to leave the towel completely extended to dry faster. The clips fit perfectly around the thick handle of my oven, and to beautify them, I covered them in fabric.

@MsAwesomeGiraffe 2 года назад

Great idea! 🤔 I don't like my towel scrunched up or it never dries, but I could just sew the tab at each end, on the edge of the towel, and it should work the same 😊

@timothytotten9409 2 года назад

Absolutely!

@patriciamaeanthony3838 2 года назад

When turning a right angle or otherwise sharp corner to the right side, bevel the seam allowance, and then hold the corner between the thumb and forefinger exactly at the corner, and then turn inside out. By holding the corner between the thumb and forefinger, the seam allowance has less chance to bunch up, and there is less need to poke it out with a poking tool. This comes from both shirt making and tailoring. I sometimes reinforce the corner with a small triangle of thin iron on interfacing, depending on how much stress or wear is anticipated for the corner when it is in use.

I found your channel not too long ago, and seeing all the different ways to make masks, and especially your reviews of each design, has been great inspiration. Watching you sew is like watching Bob Ross paint: calming, and extremely satisfying. 💕

Great video !! I really appreciate that you are straight to the point Highlights for me are finding the center of the towel with your ruler ( I hate measuring and get slightly confused for a second all the time) You showing how it's going to look finished ( I was wondering at that exact moment what it would look like )

Would wide ribbon work in place of the fabric. I really enjoy the crafty tutorials. Keep them coming

@timothytotten9409 2 года назад

Yeah, that would be great! You could even just fold the ends in and stitch over, so you’d have a clean edge.

I think yours is an easier one to make, I was confused with some of the others I watched. I am going to just make a band with wide elastic in it and not attached to any towel and you can just put on any towel.

@robinrodriquez4725 Год назад

@babblesp1367 2 месяца назад

I think I’d rather just sew it on the ends. Then, you could still fold the towel in thirds if you want to, or just fold it in half.

@jemapark4947 Год назад

@brendaboysel9296 Год назад

@susanmei9980 Год назад

I like this. I think I might try a version that keeps the towel flat. FYI: I usually put a sewing clip on my towels (just under the oven handle bar) to keep the towel on. Used to use two, one on each side, but one broke. 😂 One works just as well, so if anyone is short on time. . . I also don’t care for the towels with toppers for another VERY practical reason: It makes the towel hang down farther, so when you open the oven door it drags on the floor! 😮😱

@cindycarnes6441 Год назад

I don't like the backside of the towel showing after you push it through the loop. SIGH. how to remedy that??

@jltweb 2 года назад

Hey Tim, as a runner yourself you know how nice these new pockets are on acrylic tights and shorts that we cannot buy. I would love to know how to add pockets to my older tights so that I can take my phone and keys along with me on a run without having to take a Fanny pack. Any possibility of you showing us how to do it on an edition of your sewing channel? Would like to know how to handle stretchy fabrics as well. Thanks again. Love your channel. I always learn so much

@filastroccheperbimbi Год назад

Sooooo cool!! I saw a video that had a similar design, and I had to stop every 2 seconds to understand what she was doing. It turned out nice, but this method is way simpler. Thank you!!!

@dianag.6431 Год назад

Suggest you can use a wooden spoon or chopsticks to turn the fabric right side up instead of doing with your fingers much easier

@freespirit3891 2 года назад

Many companies count the material size before sewing the hems. That accounts for the difference of actual size.

@jeanninekreis7328 6 месяцев назад

So happy I found your channel! I made myself one! I am certainly not any kind of genius, but is there a way to make this so the towel center is in the fabric instead of an end? I have also made your jar opener from your videos; you are AWESOME! Thank you so very much for sharing your gift with all of us! You are appreciated!!!

@timothytotten9409 6 месяцев назад

Im not quite sure what you’re asking. If you want to center the fabric on the towel rather than off center, you’ll just end up with ends that don’t line up at the bottom when you put the towel on. That’s why I offset where the fabric was added. If I haven’t understood the question, please let me know.

@ellenpowell4155 2 месяца назад

The band should be about an inch or more wider than the towel to allow for the bulk of the towel when placed thru the band on the oven bar.

@timothytotten9409 2 месяца назад

Good point.

@loishearn90 Год назад

Tim! I kinda found it funny you think Velcro and buttons are old lady and cartoon cats aren’t !! But I love it and can’t wait to make these!! Thanks for a great tutorial.

So funny. Guilty as charged!! Haha

@sr1625 Год назад

Did you put the band on the side that is going to be the front? I have some towels with words on the front and I don’t want to do it upside down or backwards 🙃

@timothytotten9409 Год назад

Yes. Put it on the side that you want to face forward.

@cindycarnes6441 Год назад

Those potholders are awful once washed a couple times. I have never like them. Tip for turning. A chop stick works great for the corners. It's blunt, small and won't poke thru. I love it.

@emilybarnhart5919 Год назад

Can you show me how to do it with a tea towel that has words on the front? This way folds the front to the back and the back folds forward. I need the design and the words to show in front.
