Making Hanging Kitchen Tea towel

okay i thought i had lost the footage of me making the lemon hand towels for the kitchen uh while i was editing and piecing everything together i found the missing footage so i will have two tutorials of how to i made the lemons uh kitchen towels i thought i lost the footage so i actually made a second trip all the way down to the dollar tree to repurchase everything and i remade the video so this will be a second tutorial of me making the kitchen towels i hope you enjoy hey thank you hi welcome back to my channel made with love my name is heather and yesterday i was doing a lot of uh crafting and today i'm gonna finish what i had started uh so what i'm gonna do now is i'm gonna make the little tea towel set so you got the pot holders little kitchen you know tea towels and the oven mitts these ones i finally got the lemon ones in this year from my dollar tree so i'm going to make it's pretty simple you just take the tea towel and the pot holder and you just stitch them together so they hang off your [Music] stove handle or your fridge or even just just hang up in your kitchen out of the way so i'm just going to start doing that so i'm gonna remove the tags and i'll be right back okay i've got all the tags snipped off so i'm gonna do this too i'm just going to rip the tags off of the pot holders just about my garbage okay so i'm gonna take the tea towel i'm just gonna open them up i'm just gonna kind of fold it into thirds just kind of just a rough estimate as to where the third would be and just grab the pot holder i'm just lining it up just to see like i've got too much space so you need enough that when this is folded in half and the tea towel fits straight across but i got this little maybe i don't know half an inch or so so i've gotta hold them a little bit smaller so the tea towels from the dollar store they're all slightly different sizes so it's really hard to get exactly you know folding it right into the third that's a little bit better maybe just hold it too much this time it's kind of hard to get exactly one third i have tried measuring but i always find that just you're stitching your you know sewing with the sewing machine and it's just it's easiest to kind of eyeball it okay i think i've got it yeah that's good so i got it lined up so then it's the s one side is lined up with this side of the potholder the other one is on to this side now i'm just going to take this and so carefully flip it up so i've got pins so i've got the right side facing up something's stuck there okay and again because i flipped it over i'm just going to make sure that this is still lined up now i'm going to put the right sides right side together so make sure also that i've got it right where the halfway point is fold this in half just to kind of crease it just so i know where the stitching will be now i'm just going to take my pins and i'm just going to pin them together that was probably easier ways to pin stuff together i don't know i'm i don't do a lot of sewing i can do a lot of straight edge sewing like straight lines i make pretty easy simple little things if anybody's a better sore knows tricks on how to pin a couple layers of fabric together without you know like folding it on itself sometimes sometimes when i'm trying to do this i sometimes it does bunch up underneath because i can't really see what i'm doing but for a little bit of crafting around the house you know it's my little bit of crafting around the house home decor stuff my kind of stitching is pretty simple pretty basic i'm just gonna flip this over just i'm just gonna fold this in half just to make sure that about all this is all straight cuz i did that one day when i was pinning it and it bunched up and then when i and i got a little bit crooked that looks good i'm just going to set this one aside and i'm just going to do this second one the exact same way i'm just going to take the tea towel i'm just gonna fold them into thirds i'm just gonna take the pot holder just make sure that it's right see make sure it's the right size right there i'm just gonna just fold this in half just so i make sure that it's in the halfway point so i kind of know that i've got it all lined up that it's all i'll just move this this way so you can see that this the tea towel is folded in half it's all lines up here the pot holder is folded in half pretty good same thing i'm just going to unfold it and just pin this one together as well oops i messed up i forgot to flip it over to get the right side see i did that one time i almost did it again and i may not have even noticed till after i had it stitched because i actually did one where i had it backwards and i had to undo all my stitching it's because i got distracted talking and explaining how to do it and i messed up see now this is not quite centered okay now it's all centered and right sides together so now i can uh pin it together i've seen other women they've got um clips for when they're sewing i saw some today at walmart they're almost ten dollars for a pack of 20. i don't think for the amount of sewing i do that they are worth it i just bent that pin [Music] but they would be interesting to probably nice thing to have if you do a lot of sewing i can't seem to get these pins to go through all these layers the pins from the dollar store you know under two dollars you get almost 100 it's good enough for me for my basic little sewing try not to pin myself these are very fast easy crafts to make they make really nice gifts i made it was something like 10 or 12 at christmas and gave them away as gifts and that some people didn't realize that i made them they thought that i had bought them at some craft show because they thought they were done really good so that's always nice to hear when you do crafting and people don't think that it was you who made it okay so i've got these done so i'm just gonna move everything over to the sewing machine and i'll be right back okay i don't know what color thread i'm using it's this light almost like a goldish color i'm just looking for something uh light it kind of just blends in and you don't even notice the foot up so i can slip this underneath i'm just gonna get this lined up pull my pin out i don't know where my little pin cushion went okay i'm just gonna start stitching i think you got stuck slide that down and i'm just going to start pinning the sec or sewing the second one i'm just going to check some things okay just making sure because that last one kind of got a little stuck in the one spot i don't know what it got stuck on i don't do a lot of sewing so the other day i was trying to sew in my thread just kept snapping on me so i don't know what was causing that took me a few tries to get my thread to stop snapping and i had to redo the bobbin because it was in okay i've got it lined up now [Music] caught under the sewing machine okay now i'm just dropping all my straight pins on the floor just got to be careful with the rice yep snip the loose thread i'm gonna pull it up that will come down there's the one and there's this other one i've got one more step i have to do and that is to just make this this got a stitch a button on there i'm just gonna grab my pack of buttons i've got two packs for these yellow and green buttons got these from walmart just under four dollars i don't know how many buttons you get in the pack they say you get 65 grams what i noticed you get a lot of these little baby tiny ones that i never use you don't get too many of the big ones which is what i was trying to get i got two packs of the green ones trying to find the right shade of green and then to go there's the needle and then to stitch them on because i want these extra big buttons because they got to go through the loops here and so they got these extra big button holes so what i find works best because i mean you could use thread but i just use the emery floss it works so much better for me so much easier to sew the buttons on i'm gonna use that one see make them a little bit different i'm just going to see if i got a couple different green buttons here i really like sorry i really like this one but it's got this bluey green color to it and i haven't found anything that i can sew well this will look good sewing on another one of those blue green ones as well again i don't have any of these that be that color and also this nice yellow which i had thought would look good but it's different shady yellow than the lemons these lemons look a little i don't know darker to me this looks like a really bright yellow and this is a little bit darker yellow i think i'm probably and there's this one here but it's the way that you need you know the the buttonholes are just a little bit different that won't quite work i mean i'm pretty sure yeah but this one wouldn't work i do know a craft i'm going to use this one with though i do have an idea for the buttons that look like that just have don't have the supplies today yeah that's the same i want to make them slightly different so i'm going to use these two okay so i'm just going to use one for one and one for the other so i'm just going to start to stitch the buttons and i will be right back as soon as i get the button stitch because i don't think anybody needs to watch me thread the needle and to stick to do it you just can you know just through the fabric up through the hole and down this one is just the straight across this one has got these so i'd be doing the x so you go from the bottom to the top and then i do left to right or right to left i don't know it just kind of depends on which way you if you're right-handed left-handed how you're holding a button and the material so that's all i will do is just stitch these two buttons on and then i'll be right back when they are finished okay i am back i ended up having to use the same button on both of them because i dropped one of the buttons on the floor somewhere when i was sewing i'm just gonna undo this so you can see the how the set looks so you've got the tea towel on the top and the or i mean the pot holder on the top loose thread out of the way so the pot holders on the top and the tea towel stitch to the bottom so there's that one and same with this one just unattach the oven mitts you can see the teeth uh pot holder i'm gonna keep calling the wrong things the pot holders on the top and the tea towels on the bottom and also with the little button i do find because the oven mitt has the little hole or the little loop here too as i just put it through the put the button through the hole as well and when it hangs up you get this really nice cute little set so i will go and hang one of these up in my kitchen so you can see what it looks like when it's actually finished and hung up and i'll be back when i'm in my kitchen okay i've got them hanging up on my oven door so you can see how they look when they're hanging up i'm just going to take this oven mitt off just so you can see how they look let's see and this one here oh just start my knee okay this one here is the one that got caught on the machine so it did pull it a little crooked but you know i said it's hanging up in the kitchen okay i don't know what happened i just i think i may have hit the stop button as you see this one here is the one where it got caught in the under the machine so it went a little crooked but you know when the tea towels are hanging up in the kitchen they're never always straight but you know you can just kind of play around with it and just kind of fold it in on itself underneath so it kind of hides that imperfection a little so i still really like the way that they turned out a little little oven mitts that match i just wish that when buying the oven mitts at the dollar store they sold both the ones for the left and the right hand and not just the one because it makes a lot nicer i think it would be a lot nicer set if you had a pot holder for each hand so i'm just trying to get this hang them back up on my kitchen door on my oven door so i can just pull back so you can see how they look so i guess my kitchen i guess is going to be lemon and yellow and green this this okay uh so i'm supposed to go stand over here my kitchen's kind of a mess right now it's gonna say that we uh thank you for watching my tutorial on how i make these and i really hope everybody really enjoys the rest of my videos and my channel and thank you for subscribing and i'll see everybody in my next video bye
