Okay, maybe Kathleen and I have gone overboard this year making Christmas decorations, but when they turn out this cute we can't stop!
Today we've got some simple kitchen hand towels for Christmas, and a simple tutorial to go along.
Materials needed for 2 towels:
1 Christmas Fat Quarter
Before you begin anything pre-wash and machine dry towel and fabric. Towels will shrink so you will want to pre-wash.
Download the Jolly and Holly embroidery file. Embroider the text onto the bottom right quadrant of the towel, keeping it about 6" up from the bottom of the towel.![](//3.bp.blogspot.com/-JBefudJA8r8/UovMItO7QSI/AAAAAAAATp0/vSiqLFNmmrA/s640/holly+and+jolly5.jpg)

Cut, from your fat quarter 2 - 6 1/2"x width of towel + 1/2"
Fold the fabric rectangle lengthwise right sides together. Sew using 1/4" seam allowance across the two ends, turn the piece right sides out and press.
Measure up from the bottom of the towel 5" mark a few spots and then lay your fabric band across the towel, as show in the image above.
Stitch along the raw edge.
Fold the now top edge down and top-stitch along the bottom edge and across the two ends.
That's it!
Hang in your kitchen and enjoy for the Christmas season!
