Years ago, I used an overlocker (serger) to cut and hem old and worn towels into useable squares and rectangles. I trimmed off any holes as I went. They are not fancy (even when I threaded my overlocker with red thread and sewed on white towels), but they work a treat. Many of those cleaning cloths are STILL being used.Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836101980329967018.post-1092615813701880422016-09-09T16:52:05.398-04:002016-09-09T16:52:05.398-04:00I don't add the snaps.

We are in the mindless habit of yanking off a paper towel for just about anything and just to the left of that cabinet (where the paper towels are) is a drawer of cloth rags that would work just as well.

Another thing I noticed is to cut them about a third larger than you want them to be because after a wash N dry they will be about that much smaller. At first my husband laughed as well and so did my grown kids and grandchildren when I told them how much we were saving on papertowels each month they stopped laughing. Now my daughter has me making her some as well!
