CUTTINGTHEFABRIC
Step
one: Measure the
width of your towel or flannel then decide how wide you want your contrast band
to be. We made ours to the same width as the woven section.
Step
two: Cut a strip
of fabric to these measurements, adding 1.5cm (5⁄8in) either side of the length
for hemming. The width doesn’t need any extra as it will be bound.
Step
three: Cut two
strips of binding fabric, each 2cm (¾in) wide and to the same length as you cut
the main fabric.
BINDINGTHESTRIPS
Step
one: Place one
strip right sides (RS) together along one long edge of the main fabric, matching
raw edges. Stitch together using a 5mm (¼in) seam allowance. 01
Step
two: Turn the
binding strip over to the wrong side of the main fabric and press then pin into
place on the RS.
Step
three: Repeat to
bind the other long edge of the main fabric with the binding strip. 02
STITCHINGTOTHETOWEL
Step
one: Place the
bound strip onto the RS of your towel over the woven section, or in the position
you would like it to be in, and pin.
Step
two: Turn the
short sides of the bound strip under so that they meet the edges of the towel
and pin. Hand stitch in place with a neat slip stitch in matching thread. 03
Step
three: Topstitch
the top and bottom bound edges in place on the towel. 04
