Flour Sack Towels |
For this project you will need:
(1 apron)
30"x 30" flour sack towel
3.5 yards of 1/2" twill tape
Sewing machine
Iron
Scissors
Safety Pin
Flour sack towels come in wide variety of colors and sizes. They tend to be about 30" x 30". Some are a little smaller. As long as they are about 30 x 30 you'll be in good shape. Twill tape is available at any fabric or craft store. Because I was making a lot of aprons I bought a 100 ft roll on Amazon for about $18.00

1/2" Twill tape |
For best results wash the towels before you start this project. Flour sack towels are 100% cotton and they will shrink. It's best to get the shrinking out of the way before you start this project.
