Dishtowel with a personal touch

Recently I needed a little present to bring to a fried I was visiting. I wanted something practical with a handmade touch but that wouldn't require too much time for making. I resorted to something I've done in the past and that has been well received.

I had a ready made dish towel I had bought in the past.

I brought out my scrap bin containing strips.

I cut away the hem and sewed together a scrappy binding as I would do for binding a quilt. Only in this case I made the binding one folded.

And tada! In little time I had a cute little present with my personal touch.
