Materials

Cotton Tea Towels from Marks & Spencer, cotton webbing and matching thread, suitable for a beginner.

What was your inspiration?

I designed this pattern as a quick and easy tote for the beach, shopping and everyday. I used M&S finest tea towels as I loved the retro design and being reversible you can have a new look when you want. Machine washable and suitable for beginners. The pattern comes in a printed version or for a quick order, as a PDF download.

What are you most proud of?

I love the colours and the way they combine in a simple yet original design.

What a nifty idea! I've been saving some lovely linen teatowels that are too pretty to use for mere drying of dishes, and this would show them off beautifully!
