While back at the thrift store I came upon this set labelled "Japanese Tenugui" and, I bought it because I liked the cotton material. Once home, I googled to find out what "Tenugui" meant, and found out that they are a type of Japanese hand towels.

I added a lining, hand sewed the details around the patterns to add texture, then used the machine to sew the two panels together.

What a great find with the tea towels! You made a wonderful bag with the complimentary cottons. Nice size :) The tea pot embroidery is very sweet. I find the lighting is good in winter with the brightness of the snow, it just doesn't last long enough. Have a great week Gaia!

What interesting towels! It goes without saying that my favourite craft is the embroidery with the teapot. Winter is the perfect time to hibernate indoors with craft projects.
