  2. Step 2 2

    Fold and iron a hem on the bottom and fold over the top following the note.

  3. Step 3 3

    It should look like this. Sew the hem for the bottom.

  4. Step 4 4

    Ruffle the fabric with a ruffler attachment or a gathering foot. If you don't have either, hand baste and gather by hand.

  5. Step 5 5

    Sew the trim to the dish towel. If there is excess, trim it and fold over each end and sew a small hem.

  6. Step 6 6

    Get ready to add ric-rac!

  7. Step 7 7

    Pin the ric-rac over the sewn part so it doesn't show. Sew on the ric rac. i sewed it on by hand so it would look really nice, but hey, if you want to sew it on by machine, go for it!

  8. Step 8 8

    Hang it up and revel in the cuteness of your kitchen!

    Side not: Please excuse the slight smudginess on the right side of the pics, later discovered as a rogue fingerprint!
