Have you heard of unpaper towels? I had but didn't pay much attention until joining a frugal living swap this weekend on Craftster. Some of the swappers in previous swaps gave these as part of their packages. I don't think we go through a large amount of paper towels but I have been giving some thought to cutting back and have been using my dish towels to clean more things where I would have grabbed a paper towel in the past. There are some things I refuse to use cloth to clean up (pet poop). I did a Google search and was amazed at how many people are into this! I just ordered some birdseye cotton from a seller on Etsy so that I can make a bunch of these.
I made a few of these last night using cotton flannel on one side and unbleached cotton muslin on the other. I just wanted to try out the concept. I am even thinking that these will make great casual, everyday napkins! The only downside? They're so cute that I don't want to get them dirty! I already have more cut out and ready to sew in a brown/cream/black batik and black flannel. Can't wait to get started on those!

The best kitchen towels are old fashioned cotton baby diapers. The problem is finding them since most moms use disposable diapers now.
