Make this a weekend sewing project by watching the video tutorial below.
Separate the two halves, then fold one of the pieces wrong sides together to find the center.
kick off the wrong sides up and use chalk to mark the center.
From that center mark, mark 4 and then another 3.
Repeat on the other side.
Give it a light press, then turn the ends at the outer marks towards the back center.
Clip it in place ad flip it over.
Fold the fabric lengthwise in half and cut little notches in the center.
For the band, cut a piece thats 7.5 inches or 19cm wide by 8 inches or 20.3cm long.
This piece of fabric is going to be folded along its length into 4 sections.
(This will be the part that shows in front.)
Next, flip the fabric over and fold in half lengthwise and crease it with your finger.
Bring the top and bottom edges together in the center and press it.
Fold again matching the edges at the bottom and give it another press.
After this, sew them together with a 1/4 topstitch.
With the right side up, center the tea towel along the top edge of the fabric.
Now, sew right on top of that stitching to hold it in place.
(This step is optional.)
Stitch right across, back tacking at the start and finish, with 1/2 seam allowance.
Pull out the tea towel, and then pull on the seam allowances of the openings.
Push out the rest of the fabric, then pull on each side of the band.
At the side openings, straighten out the half-inch seam allowances and crease the folded edges with your fingers.
Start by back tacking and stitch a 1/4: seam allowance.
(Edge stitches the sides together.)
