Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Christmas presents This is a great Christmas present idea, especially for those who have everything! I bought thin cheap terry cloth towels, in different colors from my local dollar store, and used Velcro instead of the snaps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can’t Wait to Try This! I was immediately intrigued when I saw this project. Took me a minute to find it, but once I did, I was delighted with how simple and easy the directions are. I’m thinking of breaking out my serger for quicker edges! Ill add an update or another post when I’m done…

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great beginner project I use a Serger and don’t have to turn inside out. Super fast this way. Then I quilt the top a little so they stay together in the wash. Snaps are just a pain so I didn’t use these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great! I make these, burning find it cheaper to use cheap washcloths vs terrycloth so mine are slightly smaller... also the ones I did in the beginning I messed up the snaps... my fault no one elses... but they are a life saver. I take them in the RV for cleaning bigger messes and paper towels bc we dont have a washing machine and use them at home for everything... I also use all kinds of prints, my family doesnt care, and it helps me get rid of scrapes...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great idea for easy cleanup recycling I use scraps made from worn towels and works great! These are too pretty! Old fashioned handkerchiefs for facial tissue- easy to make from any old cotton poly shirt/ cloth. WE ALL need help though with toilet ‘tissue’?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No snaps Great idea. I will definitely make these. But without snaps. Don't see the need. I will keep them in a basket or drawer.
