New in my Etsy Shop – Cotton and Terry Snapping UnPaper Towels Roll

Green, beautiful, FUNCTIONAL! Unpaper towels are a great way to do something earth friendly and save money on paper towels at the same time. These are washable, reusable, soft and absorbent, and make a great gift!

Whatever you might use a paper towel for, you can use these cloths. Dry your hands, wipe up spills, clean the dining room table, dinner napkins, etc, etc. Even better then paper towels, you can actually clean glass and mirrors without leaving linty bits like paper towels and other cloths can do.

What’s the problem with paper towels?? The main problem is that the paper towels that most people use are made from virgin tree pulp. That means that trees are cut down and harvested for something that you are going to use ONE time. And then it gets thrown away…adding to the landfill problem. Oh and to make it even worse for the environment, they bleach the pulp releasing toxic chemicals into our environment. (For something that is used one time?!?)

So, cloth is better in so many ways. You can expect years of use from these cloths. And considering that you can toss these small cloths in with laundry that you already have to do…it doesn’t really have much environmental impact once you get them home.

DETAILS:

- Each set has EIGHT towels made of 100% premium printed cotton/flannel front and backed with a thirsty terry cloth.
- Each towel has 3 easy snaps on each end so you can snap the towels together. Snaps are sewn to withstand daily snapping and unsnapping. The middle snap keeps the cloth from sagging and the snaps will not scratch surfaces.
- Each towel has been turned and top-stitched for a longer life. I have also stitched across each towel to prevent bunching of the fabrics. These towels are made to last very long.
- Includes 3 elastic loops with snaps to easily attach to your existing paper towel roll.

Care instructions:
When they are dirty throw them in the washer with cold or warm water and mild detergent. It’s best if you don’t use fabric softener so they will be more absorbent, and dry on LOW HEAT! If your towel is very dirty pre-treat with detergent or dish soap that cuts grease. Do not iron snaps or tag. Vinegar can be placed in the rinse cycle along with wool dryer balls to softens clothes and remove any smells!

New in my Etsy Shop – Soft Flannel Handkerchief / Flannel Hanky / Face Towel / Hand Towel / Unpaper Towel / Napkins

After a lot of custom requests for flannel hankies I have finally decided to add them to my etsy shop.

I have not used tissues to wipe my nose during flu attacks since a long time. Instead I have been using ultra soft flannel hankies and this way I have saved my nose as well as a LOT of money :)

il_fullxfull.427246371_hqhg

I first discovered how wonderful flannel was for hankies when I had a terrible cold and my nose was absolutely raw from blowing into paper Kleenex tissues. I kept wondering what would be easier on my nose . . . then I sighted a worn old flannel nightgown my grandma had made for me years earlier. I quickly gave it a blow and was absolutely thrilled to find how soft and gentle it felt on my nose! I quickly became a big fan of flannel hankies.

mm

I wash these the same as I do my cloth napkins: by throwing them in with a load of towels and washing in hot water.

Be frugal, be green and use handkerchiefs instead of tissues!

I have them available in boy prints, girl prints and gender neutral prints. They are 10″ x 10″ aprox in size, single layer and have rolled hem edges.

Note:
- I also ship internationally! Please email me to get an accurate shipping quote for your country.

Quilt As You Go Patchwork Mug Rugs for Gift Swap

This is the very first time I am participating in a gift swap.

I had a gazillion ideas of what I wanted to make, but finally ended up making a set of two quilted flannel patchwork mug rugs / hot pads /coasters. They are made of three layers of flannel. Front is made of scraps and I enjoyed trying the quilt as you go technique for this project. And they are reversible too!

It was super fun making these and I look forward to participating in many more gifts swaps in the future :)
