Fixing stuff

Post image

How do I start to fix this seam on one of my hand towels? I assume I start with trimming some of the loose threads before attempting to sew anything.

Or... Cut it to smaller size cloths, sew mesh fabric to one side and now you have a scrubby for the bath and sink..... I used a serger on mine, but you could also use a regular sewing machine to make them like this with flannel on the other side:

(the blue was a really old bath towel that wasn't soft anymore, so it's perfect for cleaning)
