Then I’ll fold that in half, right sides together…lengthwise or width-wise? After folding in half, I should then fold into thirds? which direction? This is the only part I’m having trouble understanding. You’re help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It just depends. Sometime I wrap one around a loaf of quick bread or a jar of homemade jam.

I know she still uses these, so I think i will make some up. And some for my daughter’s homeschool group tutors and sunday school teachers!

How many of these do you usually include in a gift? I was thinking 2, but now am not sure.

The backing, cut two pieces of the fabric, one is front, one is back. No Batting or interfacing, but you could if you wanted to. The white thing is my pattern cut from freezer wrap.

Hope this helps. :o )

Just found this tonight. Nice idea and I need new ideas to do dishtowels with.

I am confused though. I’m making an assumption that when you cut the width of 16″ that is across the width of the fabric? Giving you three pieces 16″ x 14″?

You didn’t give any measurements for the topper, so I’ll guess that you go by the width of the towel once it has been folded, right?

What is used for backing for the topper? Is there any batting/interfacing in the topper? The photo shows something white laying on the focus fabric.

Appreciate your response. Would really like to get going on a couple of these.
