I love the fact that you don't have a long speech before you begin the tutorial. Quick and to the point. Love it! All tutorials should be quick and to the point with very good instructions and videos.
I just finished making the hanging tea towel and I love the design. I will be making more for my friends and family. The tutorial is easy to follow along with. I like how to the point you are in this tutorial. I will definitely be following your videos from now on. Thank you Angela.
This is by far the best video I have seen on a sewing tutorial. I love how you get right to the point and no extraneous material. You have such a lovely, calm, teaching voice. I have made several of these for gifts. Thank you so much!!🥰
I have watched at least a dozen videos on this project and you've got the BEST one. I have made 17 in the last 3 days and have 6 more ready to finish. Thank you very much for this great idea, it is by far one of my funnest projects. ❤
I hope it’s the best one as it’s my design! 🤣. Thanks so much for watching. Please have a look at my other tea towel designs etc on my channel. Happy Sewing!
Again, one word....AMAZING! Thank you! Actually, I need to say more. You have the nicest videos, you have a lovely speaking voice to explain directions so well, you don't beat around the bush like so many, you get right down to business! No flash, no 10 minute stories, just wonderful helpful sewing videos! You have ingenious designs, thank you for sharing......& teaching us! Definitely will subscribe.
You have, by far, the most useful quick and easy sewing channel I’ve found yet. Your instructions are clear and complete and your videos are beautifully filmed which makes following extremely easy. I wish all instruction videos were as well thought out as yours! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have made several of these hanging towels for my family as gifts this year. This is the best hanging towel ever. No buttons, no snaps and so easy to sew. Thank you for this wonderful pattern.
So happy you like this design! My husband couldn't understand why I was putting so much effort into this towel. Told him I was determined to make one without any fussiness to it. I've got another one up my sleeve........Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays!
@@NotchesSewing Your hubby will also appreciate the fact that notions today are getting quite costly so not having to purchase a button is easier on the budget! Especially if you plan to make several of these beautiful hanging tea towels. Your design is hands-down the BEST!
A lovely modern design! The tips about the home-made template and where to place the fabric or embroidery so that it shows to the front, are so helpful. I'm enjoying all your tutorials and learning a lot from you. You have great sewing and teaching skills, thank you Angela 💐
Thank you so much! I really don’t like the look of those tea towel dresses. Looks like you are wiping your hands on a child’s dress……. Made quite a few prototypes until I got this. Have a great day!
My first time attempting to use a sewing machine was mask making at the beginning of covid. I made at least 200 of them and past them out to everyone; as I was a public transit driver at the time. I discovered I love to sew at age 57. Via Utube I now make: wallets, purses, potholders, and now awesome hanging tea towels. Thank you so much for the free patterns and easy to follow tutorials.

So glad to have found this pattern and video. Easy make and useful and pretty. No more towels fall on the floor after being looped around my oven handle. Easy to follow. I added fleece interfacing and quilted to make. It sturdier. I love these. Thank you for sharing.
You are a great teacher! No personal chitchat - just instruction. My time is very limited, so I appreciate that more than I can express! Thank you for that, and for your wonderful tutorials! I want to sew, not listen to everyone’s personal stories which are none of my biz!
I've made a couple of hanging towels using different patterns. I really like the lines of this one. I'll have to make one soon. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your tutorials.
@@NotchesSewing I finally made one and I really like the style of this. Unfortunately, the towel I used was not as wide as the one you used, so I had to make some modifications. Not perfect, but a good practice one. I plan to make more, so thank you again. :)
Glad you like the look of it. I designed this as I didn’t wanted something more modern looking. Please have a look at my latest designs as well. They are even easier. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
@@NotchesSewing Wonderful! I bought something once, it had a towel at each end and goes over the neck...I hope I can make more of them because as a whole-food, plant-based chef, I give cooking demos at times and want some for myself.
This by far has been one of the easiest tea towels that I personally think I can make that looks so simple for a newbie such as me. Thinking there was a pattern ready for me to print, I was amazed to see there wasn't. The simplicity of this pattern is easy for newbies and experienced. I applaud you in your newest creation. Kudos to you.
thanks so much. I spent a bit of time designing it to make it as simple as possible without any “fussiness” for the overall look. Glad you like it and hope you give it a try!😊. Please also have a look at my newest hanging tea towel designs. Cheers!
Perfect Tutorial! So easy to follow. Precise, clear instructions and no annoying background music. Love the index notations in the description as well. Thank you!
This is such a great tutorial for hanging towels. At first I wasn’t so sure how it was going to work out. Everything always comes together. I make and sell Kitchen Boa’s at the farmers market and this will be perfect for the people who don’t want a boa. You have the perfect voice for teaching and as always I love 💕 your video’s. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words🙏. I have been rolling up the boa with a set of coasters in a bowl cozy and wrapping a ribbon around all of it as gifts. See you in the next vid😊
Thank you for such clear and concise directions for these towels. And I wholeheartedly applaud you for being so prepared and getting right into the subject matter without spending 10 or more minutes " conversing " i.e. wasting my time. In addition, you have such a relaxing voice, which makes the instructions even easier to grasp. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing and learning more in the future. Blessings and Happy New Year. KA
Happy New Year Karen and thanks for watching! I make many many samples before producing a tutorial to make sure my methods are as simple as possible with professional results. So I really do try not to waste any viewing time. Please have a look at other tutorials on my channel. Happy Sewing!
I love this tutorial! I’ve made over 30 of these in the past few years! Made them Xmas gifts, thank you gifts, and donations to raffle baskets. I’ve made them for all holidays and seasons. Thank you!!
WOW! This was fascinating to watch!! I learned so many new techniques that I’ve never seen used. I loved how you thought ahead in each step. Wonderful tutorial and idea. Thank you!!
Wonderful! Thanks so much. Please have a look at my latest designs to make hanging tea towels. I often make bowl cozies and put in a matching towel and coasters as gifts. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
This tutorial is absolutely excellent. Thank you for your clear, detailed, and precise instructions and perfect camera work. Just made my first one of these up and am very pleased with it - your instructions provide perfect guidance and nothing was left out.
BEST, FASTEST, MOST EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!! THANK YOU! I tried other directions and it took me a long time to make one. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video! In 15 minutes I was able to measure,cut and sew my towel!!
Thanks Emily. This is my original design so I’m not sure what other instructions are out there. Please have a look on my channel for more designs. Cheers!
Thanks Angela. This is brilliant! I have made a few hanging towels for kitchen and bathroom BUT I think this is quick and easy and professionally done compared to what I've done. I like the strap idea. I'm inspired to make some. Well done!
This is an awesome tutorial! I’m not a person that can normally make anything that requires sewing, but my first towel came out perfectly. Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions and detailed video!
You are so welcome! So glad to hear this. Please have a look at my other hanging tea towels as they are even easier. Cheers! Will have more designs soon. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
I'm so glad you enjoyed this design. I’ve had lots of great feedback. I have spent the last few weeks working on a few new designs. Please subscribe and turn on ALL notifications so you don’t miss it. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
I really like this design. When I first started sewing again I made some hanging kitchen towels for Christmas gifts using a thicker towel, a pot holder and a button. They came out ok but I hated the gathering part and sewing through all that bulk and swore I wouldn't do that again. This is so much nicer - clean lines and I like using a thinner cotton towel. Will definitely try this. Thank you!
so glad you like it. I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t know that this was a “thing”. I came across videos with the potholder and buttons and ones that look like little dresses and I just thought Nope…… I made many samples until I was happy with this final design. I knew I wanted simple and clean. For some crazy reason I don’t want buttons in my kitchen😁. Thanks for watching. I’m trying to come up with a different design so the towel does not need to be sewn in… Stay tuned….
You know what's weird is no matter what design you prefer to make it style of towel, someone at a market will always ask for something different. Comments like, do you have thicker ones, do you make them longer, etc etc. So if selling, variety is the key. Definitely going to be doing these ones because I think no-one nearby is doing this style.
This is a very simple, step by step tutorial. I love how you take your time to explain each step. I would love to make some of these hanging tea towels as Christmas gifts, but my only problem is that my towels measure either 15 in. x 25 in. or 16 in. x 26 in. Will the measurements given in the video work for my towels.
Hi Helen, thanks for watching. Glad you like my design. The main thing you need to do is have the tea towel measuring 6” across after it is pleated to fit the fabric piece. Instead of marking 4” from the centre when marking for the pleating, mark 3.5” from the centre and then 3” from that mark. You’ll just have less turned over to the back at the sides. It doesn’t matter how long it is after you cut the towels in half. Have fun sewing and let me know how you go😊
@@NotchesSewing Thank you for answering this! I have the exact same size towels and knew it would work and would figure it out but you saved me a step! ❤🙏🏻👏🏻
This is an amazing design - so neat and professional looking. I've already made 2 and now all my friends and family will have all the hanging tea-towels as presents for years to come :-) Your tutorial is so simple and easy to follow as well - thanks for your generosity in sharing.
I'm going to be proactive this year and start making gifts early this year. I'm so glad that I came across your video. Thank You for sharing your talent with the viewers. Be bless and stay safe
Thanks Patricia. Even if you don’t start making them right away, it’s good to start collecting nice tea towels when you come across them. I have new designs that I will be uploading later this week. Be sure to subscribe and turn on ALL notifications so you don’t miss them. Cheers!
I love this! I'm currently sewing things for Christmas gifts and possibly to sell at craft fairs and this looks like a keeper! I love that you don't have to do buttons, I am not a fan of button sewing! Can I ask where you get your tea towels at? Are they inexpensive? I don't think I've ever bought that type before. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Glad you like them! I really don’t like the look of the button ones or anything with ribbons etc for my kitchen… I just bought a set of three tea towel from Spotlight. I think they were on sale for total of $5. There’s plenty of great tea towels out there plain and with prints.
@@NotchesSewing definitely a sale shopper. especially as the big S store is the only place to buy fabrics in my town. Thrift stores and donations help me find other bargains.
I’ve always made hanging towels with a button closure. This method is so much easier. I’ve made several of these already and will teach a girl I know who is just beginning to sew. Excellent video, easy to follow and great video.
So far I have made two towels. I am very pleased in how well they turned out. My mom who is 83 and has been sewing for 60 years asked me to teach her. She had not seen this version of kitchen towel project. I greatly appreciate the detailed step by step instructions and the spot on camera view too. Can’t wait to try out more of your other projects!! Thank You !!
Thanks so much for watching. I created this design after not being able to find anything that I liked the look of. I like clean design. So towels with buttons and ribblons or that looks like you're hanging a child's dress in front the stove is not for me! LOL. I knew I could created something that would be easy to use and nice to look at. So after many many samples, this was final result. So glad you like it. Just follow my steps precisely in my tutorials and it should all turn out. Have fun!
You’re a genius. Wish I had thought of that. I’ve been racking my brain on how to make a towel stay on the oven handle without having to add buttons or Velcro. Sick of my towels falling on the floor. Thank you so much for your idea.🩵
Yes this is easy to follow. Directions are great in plain English. No annoying music to listen through either. Will look at other tutorial you have. Thank you
I love this pattern! I made a pile as Christmas gifts several years ago, and just returned to it for a Mother’s Day gift. So quick to make a such a functional product. Thanks!
I have saved this tutorial. It is the nearest looking over the handle towel I have seen. It will fit many sized handles where the other type will not. I did make some modifications for my towels. Since they were light weight fabric, I just folded in half instead of cutting, and I started with an 18" x 7" strip of fabric. Worked wonderful for my needs. Thanks for the awesome information and instructions.
You are most welcome Doras. I do have another video demonstrating not cutting the towel and some were concerned about it. Glad you could modify to your needs. Happy you like the design. Please have a look at some of my other videos, subscribe and turn on all notifications for my future ones. Happy Holidays😊
@@NotchesSewing I shared your videos with my sister and she was glad to receive it. She says she has seen some of your videos. Thanks for referring me to the other video. Love it too!
Love this pattern. I have made many of these (or very similar). Great gift and can use seasonal fabric/towels. One thing I add to mine is a zigzag stitch across the seam allowance where the towel and fabric join. It gives it more strength from pulling it off repeatedly. My daughter likes these because her boys (2 and 4 years old) kept undoing the button on the previous pattern I used and the towel would end up on the floor. This solved the problem. When gifting, I also enclose a slip of paper with instructions on how to attach it to the stove handle as I always struggle with this and it often ends up backwards.
What a great video! Not a bunch of nonsense chatter. Quick, thorough and to the point. Very easy to follow. Great job! Now to make some hanging towels…
This is genius! I saved the link to it. I like the simplicity of the finished look too, even though I also love the ones that look like dress. I guess it depends on which side of my head the marbles have rolled to that day! lol! I agree with the commenters that love how you didn't waste words, and had everything you needed on hand. I hate small talk and have a hard time sticking with videos where the poster isn't prepared and goes off camera hunting for things they need. Very well done!
Love this pattern! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am going to make this today for my neighbor and if I don’t mess up your pattern I’m going to make a few more. Thank you,
I love this tea towel! I have kids and love how it doesn’t come off the oven handle. Super easy, well explained and amazing finished product! I’ve searched the internet and Etsy for something like this and came up empty handed. Everything had fastners. Fold over technique is a nice clean look. Thx you!
I had a fireman come in to my house when it was first built and he said we should never be hanging tea towels on the oven door. Maybe move it over to the handle of the dishwasher but then not all dishwashers have a handle Ask me if I have any tea towels hanging on my oven door?🤪🤪😝🤣😜
I just finished my first set of these with a towel that didn't match anything else in my drawer (clearly I have a problem collecting random towels much like people collect pens). Now I have a set of towels! I love that they don't have buttons or snaps and that they are much quicker to remove from the oven door handle. Thank you for such a clearly demonstrated project.
Thanks Trish. So glad you like it. Please have a look at my newest designs for hanging towels th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html. I'm also working on a tutorial for double oven mitt at the moment. Just finalising the steps. Should have out in next few days. Please subscribe and turn on ALL notifications so you don't miss it. Cheers!
what a great video. Just tried it with an old tea towel and some left over fabric and I'll give it a 7/10 for first attempt. Such a simple design and instructions, thank you so much
I just made this. It turned out very nice. I had my IPAD right beside my machine and watched as I sewed. I am going to tell you that during the process, I did not think it was going to turn out. Mine was not looking like yours at least I didn’t think so. So I quit working on it for three days. I just pulled it out this morning. Decided to work on it some more and lo and behold. It did turn out, thank you so much ❤❤❤
I really loved this tutorial. The first took a bit but the 2nd was much faster. I ended up making a couple of modification due to the materials I'd chosen. I used a terrycloth dish towel which was much thicker than the one shown in the video. My towels also had a design on the front that wasn't quite centered properly. I ended up folding the sides to the back and centering the design in front, eliminating the tucks. I also made the width of the folded towel just 5-3/4" instead of 6" to allow for the extra thickness of the towel. Lastly, I chose a lightweight woven gingham as my main fabric. Knowing it wasn't sturdy enough to support the towel, I cut a lightweight cotton lining the exact same size as the main piece, laid it behind the gingham, and continued construction by just sewing them as one layer. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Glad you worked it all out. I made about 20 of these when developing this pattern……. I decided to make tutorial with lighter weight fabric as would be better for beginners. I will have a new towel design soon. Cheers!
What an excellent way to make the hanging towel for kitchen, no buttonholes, no buttons, I have some Christmas towels I recently purchased, just need some nice festive red fabric to make the tops, this video provided inspiration for some lovely Christmas gifts
I love these! I’ve made three already this morning and it took no time at all. Love that you don’t have to sew on a button that will eventually fall off anyway. I’m looking forward to making more, I just have to get more towels. Your instructions were clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea!
This is a great project. I love that you don’t need buttons or fasteners. I love the construction design that allows you to get such clean lines and seams. I’m happy with the way the towels turned out. Thank you!
Well. I tried the "new and improved" tutorial, but I just liked the look of this original one better. I really struggled getting everything to line up and deal with "operator errors" along the way, but I FINALLY GOT IT!!! I'd post a pic if I coud but after making about 6 "nopes", I can do it. THANKS for the video! I'm pretty sure I have it memorized now.
I've looked at many of "how to" doing these and love yours best! Can't wait to make several. After gifting these, my sewing friends will want your Notches Sewing link for sure!!! Thanks
I have just finished making three of these. The design is the best I’ve seen for hanging towels. Your instructions are great and I am really impressed with how you “engineered” the design to go together so easily. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for your feedback. It took a while for me to design this. Please subscribe and turn on all notifications for my new tea towel designs coming soon and please have a look at some other tutorials on my channel. Cheers!
Loved this tutorial, very clear directions. I have follow a few others without success the problem I was having is one would come out perfect the next would be backward. The markings were right on point. I may have to write down step by step, old brain but that's on me. Thank you so much. Peace and Love
Thanks Polly. It is my original design so I should have the best instructions..!😂. Thanks for watching. Please have a look on my channel for more towel designs etc….
I found this style of hanging towel on TH-cam and scoured all the channels for a method that I liked. Your method is, hands down, the best and produced a quicker professional result than any of the others. I tip my hat. Thank you.
@@NotchesSewing I Have! I appreciated the effort to find designs that didn't require the towel to be cut in half. Personally, I think the half towel a more useful design. I did like the band only options. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the one side of the towel is really the only one used unless it's hung backwards so the band doesn't face out?
Really depends on how one uses the towel to wipe their hands. Won’t be as pretty if you hang towel with band in the back. I will have a couple more designs soon for Xmas. Be sure to subscribe and turn on All notifications so you don’t miss them. Cheers!
I have made a few different hanging towels but this is the only one i will be making from now on. It is absolutely the best and easiest i have seen. Thankyou for the brilliant tutorial

Love your name, Trixie. I read every book when I was a young girl.

Thanks for the kind words🙏. I have been rolling up the boa with a set of coasters in a bowl cozy and wrapping a ribbon around all of it as gifts. See you in the next vid😊
My grandmother used to make these back when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's. My aunts loved getting them every Christmas.
thanks for watching😊
Thank you for such clear and concise directions for these towels. And I wholeheartedly applaud you for being so prepared and getting right into the subject matter without spending 10 or more minutes " conversing " i.e. wasting my time. In addition, you have such a relaxing voice, which makes the instructions even easier to grasp. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing and learning more in the future. Blessings and Happy New Year. KA
Happy New Year Karen and thanks for watching!
I make many many samples before producing a tutorial to make sure my methods are as simple as possible with professional results. So I really do try not to waste any viewing time.
Please have a look at other tutorials on my channel. Happy Sewing!
I love this towel! Simple sew but a really nice unexpected design!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching😊
I love this tutorial! I’ve made over 30 of these in the past few years! Made them Xmas gifts, thank you gifts, and donations to raffle baskets. I’ve made them for all holidays and seasons. Thank you!!
You’ve been busy! I have designed a couple more so make sure to subscribe and turn on all notifications so yo don’t miss my new uploads. Cheers!😊
Did you prewash the towels and the fabric for pre scrinkage
@@debbieblum9127 no
Love these, the design is so clean and fuss free! You are a genius, thx for all your great tutorials!
You are so welcome!
WOW! This was fascinating to watch!! I learned so many new techniques that I’ve never seen used. I loved how you thought ahead in each step. Wonderful tutorial and idea. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you try it out😊
At first I had NO idea how in the world this would hang,but I love it once I got to the end! I w8ll certainly try this
Glad you like it. Please have a look at some of my other designs. Cheers!
I absolutely love this! I made it last night and I can't wait to make some more as gifts.....thank you!
Wonderful! Thanks so much. Please have a look at my latest designs to make hanging tea towels. I often make bowl cozies and put in a matching towel and coasters as gifts. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
This tutorial is absolutely excellent. Thank you for your clear, detailed, and precise instructions and perfect camera work. Just made my first one of these up and am very pleased with it - your instructions provide perfect guidance and nothing was left out.
Thanks so much. Please have at look at some of my other designs 😊
BEST, FASTEST, MOST EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!! THANK YOU! I tried other directions and it took me a long time to make one. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video! In 15 minutes I was able to measure,cut and sew my towel!!
Thanks Emily. This is my original design so I’m not sure what other instructions are out there. Please have a look on my channel for more designs. Cheers!
Thanks Angela. This is brilliant! I have made a few hanging towels for kitchen and bathroom BUT I think this is quick and easy and professionally done compared to what I've done. I like the strap idea. I'm inspired to make some. Well done!
You are so welcome! Have fun!
This is an awesome tutorial! I’m not a person that can normally make anything that requires sewing, but my first towel came out perfectly. Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions and detailed video!
You are so welcome! So glad to hear this. Please have a look at my other hanging tea towels as they are even easier. Cheers! Will have more designs soon. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
I had such a good time making this, thank u
I'm so glad you enjoyed this design. I’ve had lots of great feedback. I have spent the last few weeks working on a few new designs. Please subscribe and turn on ALL notifications so you don’t miss it. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
I really like this design. When I first started sewing again I made some hanging kitchen towels for Christmas gifts using a thicker towel, a pot holder and a button. They came out ok but I hated the gathering part and sewing through all that bulk and swore I wouldn't do that again. This is so much nicer - clean lines and I like using a thinner cotton towel. Will definitely try this. Thank you!
so glad you like it. I’ve mentioned before that I didn’t know that this was a “thing”. I came across videos with the potholder and buttons and ones that look like little dresses and I just thought Nope……
I made many samples until I was happy with this final design. I knew I wanted simple and clean. For some crazy reason I don’t want buttons in my kitchen😁. Thanks for watching. I’m trying to come up with a different design so the towel does not need to be sewn in… Stay tuned….
You know what's weird is no matter what design you prefer to make it style of towel, someone at a market will always ask for something different.
Comments like, do you have thicker ones, do you make them longer, etc etc.
So if selling, variety is the key. Definitely going to be doing these ones because I think no-one nearby is doing this style.
@@NotchesSewing finding buttons to buy is getting harder for me.
This is exactly what I needed! So well done and easy to follow. Thanks for this.
You're very welcome! Please have a look at some of my other tea towel designs on my channel. Cheers!
Someone in our Quilt League made those towels and I loved them. These will make some nice Christmas presents for friends.
Yes they are very popular as gifts. Please have a look on my channel for more of my towel designs etc...
This is a very simple, step by step tutorial. I love how you take your time to explain each step. I would love to make some of these hanging tea towels as Christmas gifts, but my only problem is that my towels measure either 15 in. x 25 in. or 16 in. x 26 in. Will the measurements given in the video work for my towels.
Hi Helen, thanks for watching. Glad you like my design. The main thing you need to do is have the tea towel measuring 6” across after it is pleated to fit the fabric piece. Instead of marking 4” from the centre when marking for the pleating, mark 3.5” from the centre and then 3” from that mark. You’ll just have less turned over to the back at the sides. It doesn’t matter how long it is after you cut the towels in half. Have fun sewing and let me know how you go😊
@@NotchesSewing I surely will. Thank you so much for the tip.
@@NotchesSewing Thank you for answering this! I have the exact same size towels and knew it would work and would figure it out but you saved me a step! ❤🙏🏻👏🏻
This is an amazing design - so neat and professional looking. I've already made 2 and now all my friends and family will have all the hanging tea-towels as presents for years to come :-) Your tutorial is so simple and easy to follow as well - thanks for your generosity in sharing.
I'm going to be proactive this year and start making gifts early this year. I'm so glad that I came across your video. Thank You for sharing your talent with the viewers. Be bless and stay safe
Thanks Patricia. Even if you don’t start making them right away, it’s good to start collecting nice tea towels when you come across them. I have new designs that I will be uploading later this week. Be sure to subscribe and turn on ALL notifications so you don’t miss them. Cheers!
I love this! I'm currently sewing things for Christmas gifts and possibly to sell at craft fairs and this looks like a keeper! I love that you don't have to do buttons, I am not a fan of button sewing! Can I ask where you get your tea towels at? Are they inexpensive? I don't think I've ever bought that type before. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Glad you like them! I really don’t like the look of the button ones or anything with ribbons etc for my kitchen… I just bought a set of three tea towel from Spotlight. I think they were on sale for total of $5. There’s plenty of great tea towels out there plain and with prints.
@@NotchesSewing definitely a sale shopper. especially as the big S store is the only place to buy fabrics in my town. Thrift stores and donations help me find other bargains.
I just found this, this morning, how nice! I will definitely give it a go!
Hope you enjoy Maureen. Happy Holidays!
I’ve always made hanging towels with a button closure. This method is so much easier. I’ve made several of these already and will teach a girl I know who is just beginning to sew. Excellent video, easy to follow and great video.
You are so welcome! Please have a look on my channel for more towel designs etc. I will have new ones soon for Xmas. Cheers!
So far I have made two towels. I am very pleased in how well they turned out. My mom who is 83 and has been sewing for 60 years asked me to teach her. She had not seen this version of kitchen towel project. I greatly appreciate the detailed step by step instructions and the spot on camera view too. Can’t wait to try out more of your other projects!! Thank You !!
Thanks so much for watching. I created this design after not being able to find anything that I liked the look of. I like clean design. So towels with buttons and ribblons or that looks like you're hanging a child's dress in front the stove is not for me! LOL. I knew I could created something that would be easy to use and nice to look at. So after many many samples, this was final result. So glad you like it. Just follow my steps precisely in my tutorials and it should all turn out. Have fun!
You’re a genius. Wish I had thought of that. I’ve been racking my brain on how to make a towel stay on the oven handle without having to add buttons or Velcro. Sick of my towels falling on the floor. Thank you so much for your idea.🩵
You are so welcome! Glad you like it😊
Yes this is easy to follow. Directions are great in plain English. No annoying music to listen through either. Will look at other tutorial you have. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! (there’s actually background music but real low..)😊. More to come. Thanks for watching
What a great tutorial and design. Made 2 last night.
Thanks so much. Make sure to have a look at my latest designs as they are even easier. th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html. Cheers!
I love this pattern! I made a pile as Christmas gifts several years ago, and just returned to it for a Mother’s Day gift. So quick to make a such a functional product. Thanks!
Thanks Ann. Glad you came back to my tutorial🤣
I have saved this tutorial. It is the nearest looking over the handle towel I have seen. It will fit many sized handles where the other type will not. I did make some modifications for my towels. Since they were light weight fabric, I just folded in half instead of cutting, and I started with an 18" x 7" strip of fabric. Worked wonderful for my needs. Thanks for the awesome information and instructions.
You are most welcome Doras. I do have another video demonstrating not cutting the towel and some were concerned about it. Glad you could modify to your needs. Happy you like the design. Please have a look at some of my other videos, subscribe and turn on all notifications for my future ones. Happy Holidays😊
@@NotchesSewing I shared your videos with my sister and she was glad to receive it. She says she has seen some of your videos. Thanks for referring me to the other video. Love it too!
Love this pattern. I have made many of these (or very similar). Great gift and can use seasonal fabric/towels. One thing I add to mine is a zigzag stitch across the seam allowance where the towel and fabric join. It gives it more strength from pulling it off repeatedly. My daughter likes these because her boys (2 and 4 years old) kept undoing the button on the previous pattern I used and the towel would end up on the floor. This solved the problem. When gifting, I also enclose a slip of paper with instructions on how to attach it to the stove handle as I always struggle with this and it often ends up backwards.
Thank you! Please have a look on my channel for my other towel designs.😊
What a great video! Not a bunch of nonsense chatter. Quick, thorough and to the point. Very easy to follow. Great job! Now to make some hanging towels…
Awesome, thank you! Please have a look on my channel for more designs😊
This is genius! I saved the link to it. I like the simplicity of the finished look too, even though I also love the ones that look like dress. I guess it depends on which side of my head the marbles have rolled to that day! lol! I agree with the commenters that love how you didn't waste words, and had everything you needed on hand. I hate small talk and have a hard time sticking with videos where the poster isn't prepared and goes off camera hunting for things they need. Very well done!
Thanks Kelly. I appreciate that. I do a lot of editing of my videos. Trying to respect viewer’s time. 😊. Have fun sewing.
The best tutorial I have seen on how to make this kitchen towels hangers. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Love this pattern! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I am going to make this today for my neighbor and if I don’t mess up your pattern I’m going to make a few more. Thank you,
Please do! Also have a look on my channel for more of my towel designs etc 😊
I love this tea towel! I have kids and love how it doesn’t come off the oven handle. Super easy, well explained and amazing finished product! I’ve searched the internet and Etsy for something like this and came up empty handed. Everything had fastners. Fold over technique is a nice clean look. Thx you!
Thank you. Glad you found my design. I spent a lot of time on it. Happy Sewing!
I had a fireman come in to my house when it was first built and he said we should never be hanging tea towels on the oven door. Maybe move it over to the handle of the dishwasher but then not all dishwashers have a handle
Ask me if I have any tea towels hanging on my oven door?🤪🤪😝🤣😜
This is a wonderful project! I'm so glad I tried it with scraps and an old towel. I'm ready to make more!
Thank you. Glad you like my design😊. I have a few new designs coming soon. Please subscribe and turn on All notifications so you don’t miss them. 🙏

You are so welcome! Please have a look on my channel for more designs. Cheers!
I just finished my first set of these with a towel that didn't match anything else in my drawer (clearly I have a problem collecting random towels much like people collect pens). Now I have a set of towels! I love that they don't have buttons or snaps and that they are much quicker to remove from the oven door handle. Thank you for such a clearly demonstrated project.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching and please have a look on my channel for more towel deigns etc..
I love the clean lines, and no buttons or velcro! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome! Please have a look at other designs on my channel. Cheers!

Please do! Glad you like my design. Have fun!
I love this tutorial! It was easy to follow and the towel took hardly any time at all to make.

Glad you like it! Please have a look on my channel for more tea towel designs. Cheers!
what a great video. Just tried it with an old tea towel and some left over fabric and I'll give it a 7/10 for first attempt. Such a simple design and instructions, thank you so much
I’m pretty sure that’s a B+!😊. Good on ya! Please have a look at my latest designs for tea towels. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html
This is so much better than crocheting a top on the towel.
thank you glad you like it. I will have a new design soon. Cheers!
I just made this. It turned out very nice. I had my IPAD right beside my machine and watched as I sewed. I am going to tell you that during the process, I did not think it was going to turn out. Mine was not looking like yours at least I didn’t think so. So I quit working on it for three days. I just pulled it out this morning. Decided to work on it some more and lo and behold. It did turn out, thank you so much ❤❤❤
Great job!
Oh I really like this pattern no buttons or buttonholes!
Thank you so very much!
Glad you like them!
I really loved this tutorial. The first took a bit but the 2nd was much faster. I ended up making a couple of modification due to the materials I'd chosen.
I used a terrycloth dish towel which was much thicker than the one shown in the video. My towels also had a design on the front that wasn't quite centered properly. I ended up folding the sides to the back and centering the design in front, eliminating the tucks. I also made the width of the folded towel just 5-3/4" instead of 6" to allow for the extra thickness of the towel.
Lastly, I chose a lightweight woven gingham as my main fabric. Knowing it wasn't sturdy enough to support the towel, I cut a lightweight cotton lining the exact same size as the main piece, laid it behind the gingham, and continued construction by just sewing them as one layer.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Glad you worked it all out. I made about 20 of these when developing this pattern……. I decided to make tutorial with lighter weight fabric as would be better for beginners. I will have a new towel design soon. Cheers!
What an excellent way to make the hanging towel for kitchen, no buttonholes, no buttons, I have some Christmas towels I recently purchased, just need some nice festive red fabric to make the tops, this video provided inspiration for some lovely Christmas gifts
Glad you like it Carolyne! Please have a look on my channel for more of my towel designs that are even easier. Happy Holidays!
I just sewed one! This is an easy project and so cute. Thanks for your clear instructions.
Wonderful! Please have a look on my channel for other easy towel designs etc….😊
I love these! I’ve made three already this morning and it took no time at all. Love that you don’t have to sew on a button that will eventually fall off anyway. I’m looking forward to making more, I just have to get more towels. Your instructions were clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea!
Thank you glad you like it😊. Please have a look on my channel for more towel designs etc……….

❤ I love this tutorial. Thank you. I’ve made several for family members.
Wonderful!
Well. I tried the "new and improved" tutorial, but I just liked the look of this original one better. I really struggled getting everything to line up and deal with "operator errors" along the way, but I FINALLY GOT IT!!! I'd post a pic if I coud but after making about 6 "nopes", I can do it. THANKS for the video! I'm pretty sure I have it memorized now.
Fantastic! you can try share on my Facebook page or Instagram. At the moment, Facebook has disabled my Page for some reason……
I've looked at many of "how to" doing these and love yours best! Can't wait to make several. After gifting these, my sewing friends will want your Notches Sewing link for sure!!! Thanks
Thank you Joyce!😊. Please also have a look at my newest designs for hanging tea towels th-cam.com/video/Q1uvQ72qFHw/w-d-xo.html

I have just finished making three of these. The design is the best I’ve seen for hanging towels. Your instructions are great and I am really impressed with how you “engineered” the design to go together so easily. Thank you for sharing

A well done video with directions very explicite! A lovely gift for anyone who entertains in her kitchen frequently!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this tutorial, very clear directions. I have follow a few others without success the problem I was having is one would come out perfect the next would be backward. The markings were right on point. I may have to write down step by step, old brain but that's on me. Thank you so much. Peace and Love
Thanks Polly. It is my original design so I should have the best instructions..!😂. Thanks for watching. Please have a look on my channel for more towel designs etc….
I found this style of hanging towel on TH-cam and scoured all the channels for a method that I liked. Your method is, hands down, the best and produced a quicker professional result than any of the others. I tip my hat. Thank you.
Glad you found it as this is my original design. Please have a look on my channel for more towel designs etc…. Cheers!
@@NotchesSewing I Have! I appreciated the effort to find designs that didn't require the towel to be cut in half. Personally, I think the half towel a more useful design. I did like the band only options. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the one side of the towel is really the only one used unless it's hung backwards so the band doesn't face out?
Really depends on how one uses the towel to wipe their hands. Won’t be as pretty if you hang towel with band in the back. I will have a couple more designs soon for Xmas. Be sure to subscribe and turn on All notifications so you don’t miss them. Cheers!
I have made a few different hanging towels but this is the only one i will be making from now on. It is absolutely the best and easiest i have seen. Thankyou for the brilliant tutorial
