Kitchen Towel Dress: Tutorial
![Picture of Kitchen Towel Dress [calamitykim.typepad.com] - Tipnut.com](http://tipnut.com/projectpics/kitchentowel-dress.jpg)
Today’s feature is from Calamity Kim with this (too cute!) Tutorial for “Dress” Kitchen Towel:
A Tutorial on creating a little dress of a kitchen towel that hangs nicely over your stove handle. This dressed up dish towel is double sided. It could even be made with two totally different sides. Imagine one side for Halloween the other side for Thanksgiving. One side for cupcakes, one side for ice cream!
It can be embroidered using vintage transfers or embellished with collage or pictures printed onto fabric from your computer. It’s decorative and functional- an easy to make project for a last minute gift.
This idea is so creative and totally new to me, I’ve never heard of these tea towel dresses!
Here’s what you need for supplies:
- Less than a half a yard of fabric
- One new dish towel
- Thread
- 10-12 inches of lace or rick rack
- Buttons, or other embellishments like fabric yoyo’s
- About 1 1/2 – 2 yards of ribbon for the ties
Please visit the site above for all the project details, see the homepage to find a pdf copy of the pattern in the sidebar. Tutorial found via With Needle And Thread.

I went to the tute for the Kitchen Towel Dress, when I tried to get the pattern I was so frustrated that I gave up. I am not really good at computers, but I managed to get into the blogging section with all the comments, but could not find anything to request the free pattern as stated. Can you send me the pattern for cutting it out to my email? It would be so appreciated, thank you.
I am unable to get the pattern for the tea towel dress. It looks fantastic.
I am not a good sewer and definitely need the pattern
The pdf pattern is here: Tea Towel Dress Pattern (pdf)
Hi Cleo, it’s in the sidebar on the blog, here’s the link: Dress Tea Towel Pattern. Part of the confusion is my fault, I said it was the tutorial available via pdf, it’s the dress pattern. I’ll change that now.
This is such a cute pattern. My mother in law hangs towels on her stove and I think this would make a lovely addition to her kitchen. Quick, painless, and multiseasonal, that’s what I’ll do. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
I can’t get anything to open on the link, and I am equally frustrated trying to get the pattern for the dish towel dress! I didn’t see it under the sewing section where all the patterns are, so I don’t know where it is you keep referring to. I love the little dress and since I am not an experienced sewer,I love the tutorial. Now, if I could just get that pattern……
Try this Kathy: pdf pattern link. If you can’t open that, you may need to update your adobe software.
Thank you have found the pattern and printed it out
