The last stitches are done and it's going into the clean rags drawer

Today's technical experiment with linen and cotton. Three layers of the heavy linen stitched together to make one cloth. Stitching is still in progress. This will be used in the kitchen to see how it holds up.

Three folded cloths in faded designs, with two skeins of embroidery thread sitting on top. The cloths are worn and stitched in simple geometric patterns of running stitch.

Something I've been quietly stitching in the evenings: these zokin - cloths for cleaning, made from old tea towels.

I recommend The Green Wrapper on youtube if you'd like to make zokin from your old cloths.
