Remember Tonia Todman? She is my spiritual leader at the moment as I make my way through a mountain of old souvenir tea towels, presumably collected by Doris and Gwennie on their Aussie travels.
I am making them into pillow slips for day beds on the front and back verandahs.
Here's my first two. The front features Queensland's beautiful Wide Bay region, and the back is made from what can only be described as a Hawaiian moo moo I found in the house.
These are merely practice. I am working my way up to the master project, where I will utilise my crisp linen teatowel depicting Coffs Harbour's Big Banana. Gorgeous.
It's not rocket science, but it keeps me off the streets.
they are great...what a great way to 'preserve' the tea-towels and a great talking point too!!
