Chicken Scratch Towel

Wet and wintry weekends are perfect for sewing! I put the finishing touches to my Chicken Scratch project today by stitching the embroidered panel onto a piece of waffle weave cotton to make a towel. I am not sure if I will use it as a tea towel/dish cloth or a hand towel. I added some red ricrac to go with the retro vibe.



Love it!



I used Micheal Miller Gypsy Bandana in Aqua Gingham for the Chicken Scratch Panel.
