How to Sew Unpaper Towels; 2 Methods Serger and Sewing Machine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- Paper towels are simply a waste of my families hard earned money! And, to be honest I don't think they are very pretty and I'll just admit it, I want my kitchen to be pretty.
I rarely have paper towels at my house. It's been a few years since I last purchased them. All we use are my homemade adorable unpaper towels. Not only are my custom made-to-match-my-kitchen unpaper towels far cuter than ordinary paper towels they are also more environmentally friendly. Besides the harmful environmental impacts of more trash because of the disposable towels (which really, probably isn’t all that bad when compared to the actual plastic the towels come wrapped in or the other hundred things we do), I just couldn’t bear paying money to wipe up the spilled water (of all things) on the floor. I'm not kidding, water, it wasn't even juice or anything that bad.

A few years ago I found flannel at Walmart for $1.00 a yard and made 3 yards worth of towels. I have not found any flannel for that cheap but I will be buying some next week to make more.
These have been so great to have in our kitchens.
Lovely I’ve been wanting to make some of these, thanks for sharing
A perfect tutorial! You've made it so easy for a beginner like me to understand. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Very useful, thank you for the demonstration.
You are welcome!
This is a cute idea!
Glad you think so.
These are super cool!
I am glad you like them.
You give very simple direction to follow especially for a beginner. Thanks
Thank you!
Love these I use cloth napkins for almost everything so these will be my next thing to make for gift giving and for myself ❤
Wonderful!
Neat Idea Emeline
I am so glad you enjoyed it.
I really like this idea and this is something I would do!
It's super easy and dresses up your kitchen so much. Yes Lisa, I think you would love them. - Emmaline
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Lovely 💛💛 Thank you for sharing your Knowledge. I am going to begin a new project. 😊
I know they will turn out beautifully.
Thank you thats a great idea. I'm gonna make some for my granddaughter she has 2 small babies. That would be great for them. Even for bath time. Love your videos. God bless.
These are exactly what I used to burp cloths. A great size for baby burp cloths are cut at 13" x 19" and sewn down to 12" x 18". They drape well over your shoulder and have a little more room to hold and wipe up baby messes.
Awesome stash buster!
I think so too!
Thank you for this tutorial; I'm going to try the sewing machine method because I don't have a Serger or the funds for one. Maybe if they go on a great sale this year. 👍🏼
You are so welcome! The day after Thanksgiving is usually a good time.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Is it possible to use cotton quilting fabric for one side? The designs I want to use don't come in cotton flannel. I would back it with a cotton flannel or diaper cloth, so would that make the quilting cotton OK to use on the other side?
I think it would work out just fine. The flannel side would just be the more absorbent. It might to a good idea to prewash your material before use.
@@WisdomPreserved Thank you so much!
Did you use cotton flannel on both sides? Is it possible to do regular cotton on one side and flannel on the other or is that not as absorbent/durable?
Yes, I used cotton flannel on both sides. You can use regular cotton on one side if you like. In my experience it is not initially as absorbent, but after 3 to 4 washes it becomes so.
What are you using for the 'fashion fabric' is it quilting cotton or patterned cotton flannel?
It is patterned cotton flannel. It works really well because it is so absorbent.
@@WisdomPreserved thanks ! Follow up question. Alot of the flannel at Joanne's is labeled as super snuggle have you tried any of these in particular?
@@myeyesarebleeding212 Yes I have and it works great. I do think it tends to wear out a little faster than the standard cotton flannel. That is the only downfall though.
So does the sewn method or served method “look” better? Do they roll onto a regular roll okay?
The sewn method has a more finished edge. Yes, they roll onto a paper towel roll just fine. On some of mine I have placed some velcro on the center top and bottom on each unpaper towel and then when you use a roll you can keep them together better. Otherwise I personally use a cute small basket on the counter for a few and keep the others folded under my sink.
When you serger the corners, I noticed you cut the ends off. Don’t the threads from each corner come loose? Or by sewing an X does stop the corners from fraying?
Sewing the x protects the corners.
Great idea mam, from where can we purchase these fabrics and name of these fabrics
These fabrics were flannel pieces that were purchased at Joann's Fabric.
@@WisdomPreserved thank u for u reply
I notice with the serger you're doing all 4 sides separately. I just picked up a serger and that seems to be the best way to do it for even corners. I tried freehand rounded edges but they come out too uneven. Thanks for the video!
These have been so great to have on hand. I like the square corners.
Me encanto😍....donde compro la tela de vegetales?..Gracias😀por el vídeo...👏
I think she bought that fabric at Joann’s.
Yes, at JoAnn Fabrics. If you can't find it there you can try some of these on Amazon. There are a few that are very similar. amzn.to/33V2DOb
What kind of sewing machine do u have?? Thanks
I have a Singer Futura that is about 12 years old but Emmaline bought a new Singer quilting machine. I can't remember the specific name at the moment.
I woou.d use my 12 1/2 in squaew
Good idea.
