Ruffle Tea Towels {Free Pattern}

Hi there! I have something extra cute to share with you guys today!  I love sewing things for my kitchen.  If you were to walk into my kitchen right now, you would see a quilt, lots of homemade tea towels, quilted placemats, pot-holders, homemade curtains, and some fun fabric garlands!  I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, and so why not decorate it with beautiful things?  

A couple of weeks ago, I knew I wanted to make some new tea towels for my ladder shelf in my kitchen.  My kitchen has kind of an eclectic feel.  I love collecting vintage kitchen things, but I also have lots of new things in there as well.  So when I was deciding on how I should make my new towels, I wanted to add the fun vintage feel of ric rac and of course some cute ruffles to kind of tie into all my kitchen decor.  

So here they are:

If you love Pam Kitty's fabrics, and you love ruffles, you will love these towels! These towels are made with the lovely Pam Kitty Garden fabrics.  I seriously swoon over these every single time I see these fabrics.  These fun prints, fit perfectly in my kitchen and I will hang them up as soon as I take my Valentine's towels down! They just scream spring, and I really can't wait to hang them up!

These didn't take long to whip up! I actually timed myself when I made them, and they took about 1/2  hour each.  These would make excellent gifts for family, friends, or neighbors.  I will definitely be making more of these to keep on hand for last minute gifts!

When I saw the name of the bundle "Blue China" I thought is was perfect! What an appropriate name for this all-blue bundle!  It really does remind me of the famously popular blue china, you would see at a fancy dinner table!
