This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something crafty for the kitchen. Since I already did my upcycled napkin rags (which are my new favorite kitchen cleaning tool, by the way) I decided I would try making something else cuter by putting a crochet edge on a tea towel.

This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something that had to do with the letter g, whether in terms of material, color or technique.

Easy to Sew Cloth Napkins
We have used cloth napkins for years, since before the girl was born. I like the fact that we aren’t throwing away as much paper, and it adds a little cuteness to the table when you have cloth napkins. At least it does when you have cute cloth napkins. Some of our napkins are also […]
