First I began with a stencil design I found via Kristen at domestifluff. 
Then I bought a nice thick white single bed sheet from my local Salvos store, which I cut up, using an old tea towel as a template.
And then I screen printed the kitchen utensil design using red ink.
Ta, daaa!
I varied the amount of times I printed the image on to the tea towels, just to vary it a bit. Some have one set of cutlery, others four.
After a night of drying I then heat set the ink using my iron.
I then hemmed each side.
I am going to wash one just to make sure the ink doesn't come off.
Who knows, perhaps they might make a nice Christmas gift?
And just a reminder . . .
we'd love to see all you arty and crafty
types this coming Tuesday night 23rd November.
The Nords Wharf Brown Owls meeting is on again. It's from 7-9pm, at Nords Wharf Community Hall.
Cost is a gold coin donation and we have plenty of materials (& chat)
to get you started, or byoc.

Cute tea towels! I won't be at Brown Owls this week - I've had a big 4 days in Sydney - lots of catch up to do.
NOw I am curious about Handmades' adventures in Sydney and disappointed that she will not be at Brown Owls to tell us about them.
As for the teatowels - they look great and even better in real life.
We will miss you tonight Handmade - and thanks for the generous comments.
