Time for TEA TOWELS

Vintage tea towels can be too beautiful to use, so turn them into cushion covers with a simple envelope closure – all you need is a cushion pad. Fold the towel in three to create an overlapping envelope, pin in place and sew down the two edges, leaving an opening for the cushion pad to be inserted.
