As a busy mother of 3 kids, there are times when I look around our family home and am shocked by the amount of stuff we have. Piles and piles of books, clothes splayed out on the kids’ bedroom floors, overflowing, disorganised cupboards… urgh.
That’s when I get all ranty and demand we start clearing out and organising some of our possessions.
But when I say “clearing out” I don’t mean throwing out. To our family, it means finding new life or new homes for our unwanted things.
As someone who loves sewing, I tend to squirrel away bits and pieces of unwanted textiles during our “clearing out” phases that I can upcycle sometime, somehow. (That’s one of the advantages of being able to sew, right?)
So, while “clearing out” recently I discovered that my collection of rescued old ratty towels was larger than I remembered it being 🙈. I decided I needed to find myself some DIY projects to make a couple of useful things out of them.
Which lead to me scouring the internet for ideas for myself. And then of course I had to share some of my favourite finds with you here!
And since I am all about simple sewing projects that are low-stress and no fuss, I’m know you’ll find something perfect for you and your old towels, no matter how advanced (or not) your sewing skills are!
Take a look for yourself and give your old towels a new lease on life with these fun upcycling sewing projects!
