This summer we had the chance to be all together for a week ... so of course we crafted! We made the cutest witch leg dish towels for our selves and for Visiting Teaching Gifts and Halloween Teacher Gifts. We started by choosing fabric for our witch legs and boots. We started at the local JoAnn Fabric then headed to our FAVORITE Hobby Lobby for additional supplies. We bought fabric in 2 patterns, wonder under, purple ribbon, and pom pom ribbon. Then we were on the hunt for plain white DISH towels. WHO KNEW this would be such a task???? We headed to every local store such as Target and Walmart. We were able to find flour sack towels and bar mop towels in white and in large packs, but we did not love the size and texture of these towels. We then headed to every local department store, such as Kohl's, JcPenny's. No luck. FINALLY, we found single while towel's that we liked at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and later found extra towels at a local craft store in Idaho called Porter's Craft and Frame. Of course, we ended up spending a little more than we had hoped, (around $4 a towel) but, the size and length is perfect. So, if you find a great deal on white dish towels ... we'd love to know where you found yours!!
Then we ironed wonder under to the back side of our fabric. We used the silhouette machine to do the cutting for us. We purchased our witch shape right from the silhouette store, then measured our towels and sized them the way we wanted. Next we cut our witch legs and boots.
Position them onto the center of your towel and iron onto your white towels.
For additional securing to the towels, we did a straight stitch around the legs and boots on our sewing machines.
The purple bows were tied and hand stitched onto the top of the witch boots. We added ribbon to the bottom of the towel for extra decoration on some and pom pom ribbon on some. We used a zig zag stitch to attach the ribbon.
These towels turned out super cute!! Keep an eye out for our Christmas version of this towel!
