I put together my own collection of coordinating Alice in Wonderland fabrics from Timeless Treasure Fabrics and used them to make a few fun projects. I used small strips to decorate plain hand towels, it was a really fast project that was fun to make in an afternoon. These make a great gift, or would easily brighten up a guest bathroom. I really enjoyed working with their fabrics, each was full of vibrant colors printed on quality cotton.

Instructions

  1. Small 113881 2f2016 04 13 221509 img 0865

    For the main piece - Cut pieces of fabric 4 inches wide and 1 inch wider than your towel. Fold over and iron a half inch on each side. For the trim piece- Ruffle, I cut a 2 inch by 40 inch, then folded it in half long edge and ruffled it together with a running stitch. Flat, I cut a 2 inch by (my towel length), folded it on half long edge and ironed it. Prairie Points, Use 3 inch squares folded into triangles twice to make points, your can line them up edge to edge or overlap them like I did.

    Pin and sew on your trim piece first. Then place your main piece over lapping a little bit and sew it on. That was fast! The hardest part was choosing my fabric combinations and the style of trim.
