Homemade Dishcloths

While we were at the DI yesterday, I felt like I hit the jackpot in the fabric department!

I found bags of lace for $1 and $2 dollars, and bags of fabric for $1.

This is what I was able to do with what I bought:

Here is the process:

The dish cloths were 2 for $2 total, and they were brand new... never used!

I got all these bags of fabric. Each bag had 6 different pieces for $1 total, so that is basically $.17 each piece!

This is how they came:

There were 7 types of ribbon, and the bag was $1. So, that's basically $.14 each type of ribbon.

The lace had 7 different kinds for $2. So, that is basically $.28 each piece.

The red lace did cost more, and I hardly used any of it :)

I used a small amount of 2 pieces for the red bird, so I am counting $.32.

I used a small amount of one piece for the blue bird, so I am counting $.16.

I cut out a bird pattern I liked in the size I wanted, and used it to cut out the fabric.

Pinned everything in place.

Stitched everything in place, and zigzagged around the birds. I zigzagged the legs and beaks of the birds as well.

Here is the price break down (if my math is correct!):

RED BIRD TOWEL
Towel - $1
Bird fabric - 2 pieces at $.16 each = $.32
Lace white style - $.28
Lace (red) - $2

Total: $3.60

BLUE BIRD TOWEL
Towel - $1
Bird fabric - 1 piece $.28
Ribbon blue style - $.16
Lace white style - $.28

Total: $1.72

I am so excited to be featured on craft-o-maniac!
