"H" is for Hand Towels

Personalize hand towels with an appliqued monogram and simple bias cut ruffle:

These hand towels are for sisters, a quick and easy personalized gift.

Here’s how to make the monogrammed hand towels:

1. Print out monogram to fit.

(I used Lucida Bright font at 300 point.)

Apply fusible interfacing to wrong side of fabric:

2. Place print out right side down on light box then fabric right side down on top.

Trace outline of letter onto interfacing:

3. Cut out letter and pin in place:

4. Sew with tight zig zag stitch.

5. To make ruffle cut 1 1/4″ wide bias strips x (two times width of towel).

Run a very loose zig zag stitch just off center then pull one thread to ‘ruffle up’ the strip.

Pin in place and straight stitch down the middle:
