Towels Have More Than One Use
It's summertime and beach parties are all around us.
Even grilling outdoors next to a stream, river, or lake
brings out the wonders of the season. It is summer
and life is definitely easy.
If you want to try something super special for your
outdoor mealtime table, use bath towels. They come
in super bright colors and paradise designs. You
don't have to worry about the kids spilling anything and
food stains are a not to worry about problem. If, however,
your table is a bit larger or longer than the towel that you
have in mind, add to the dimensions by using solid color
towels or a pattern that will coordinate with the one main
one. Join them together with edging or trim that you can
find for pennies at any fabric or dollar store. Fun shapes
and designs just add to the creativity of the project.
Using smaller towels as napkins can be great for that
gentle wipe of little faces and tiny hands. They are truly
marvelous to wash and hang out to dry so the work is
definitely at a minimum. It's summer and fast and easy
are the words to live by. Towels can also serve as bibs
for both children and grown ups. Stitch some ribbing
around the edges and around the neck leaving some
length for tie-ups or just sew on a snap for easier handling.
Serve that lobster or dripping with butter corn that you
just picked up from the farmers' market and no one will
worry about ruining their clothes, they will just enjoy the
food and fun.
Use towels in your summer-time living and there is no worry
about stains or having to launder delicate fabrics. They are
meant to absorb and be reused over and over again. Think
up of themes such as fish or flowers, stripes and rainbows
and mix and match colors because outdoor dining can be
as vivid as the colors of the season. Have fun with your table
decor and everyone will think you went to a lot of trouble on
their account - that's okay too. Colors and summer are a
made in heaven match - so enjoy. |
