My daughter Lizzie asked for me to make some reusable make up pads a few days before Xmas. So I made ten up for her using an Accuquilt 3" circle die, old towels and muslins accumulated from the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser that I use.
Lizzie then told me earlier this eek that she needed more, so I duly cut more circles. Cutting towels makes such a mess but a great use for old towels or towels in colours that no longer match your décor.
Lizzie overlocked 30 or so on my underused overlocker. whilst I looked at the few muslin cloths that I hadn't used. a light bulb moment - what if I sewed two cloths into bags - one to store the pads and one to collect the dirty ones that could be thrown into the washing machine with a full load of washing.
They may not be the prettiest things I have ever sewn but they are very functional and already hanging in the bathroom, ready to be used.
Great idea, I'm gonna have to make some of those!
ReplyDeleteI just had a thought...you could embroider (or sharpie) ”Clean" on one and "Dirty" on the other.
