This fun challenge for creative crafters shines a spotlight on the humble but beloved tea towel, with its terrific graphics and nostalgic charm. More than two dozen projects show how to transform this functional item into fabulous wearables (slippers, a halter top), accessories (totes, a belt) and beyond (a doggie backpack, bicycle saddlebags). A basics section provides a primer on the techniques and how-to illustrations and templates enhance the instructions. Fresh, contemporary photography captures the projects in urban settings.
