Liberty Re-usable Face Cloths — Handmade Eco-Friendly Gifts

Kathy from the studio has made these gorgeous Liberty fabric re-usable face cloths — perfect eco-friendly handmade gifts. Made from cotton fabric scraps with cuddle soft backing, they come in a personalised EPP drawstring bag.

I asked Kathy about the project:  “I bought the scraps to make something else entirely but wanted to make a birthday present for my sister in law Angela.  Angela saw the ones you posted about last Christmas and liked them so, I thought I’d make some for her as a surprise.”

“I made the bag from scratch using some white Makower fabric. It’s a simple drawstring bag decorated with half-hexagon EPP (English Paper Piecing) and finished off with an embroidered A.  For the embroidery, I used a good quality Aurifil thread.”

“The fabrics are all from the latest Alice Caroline Exclusive collection – the colours are so lovely together.  For the backing of the face cloth, I used smooth cuddle soft fabric as it’s so kind to your face.  Angela loved the present and is delighted to be re-using face cloths to help the environment.”

I love this gift idea.  It’s such a thoughtful touch to add the embroidered lettering onto the bag.  I wonder if I have time to make these for my entire family before Christmas…

Thank you for sharing your lovely project with us Kathy.
