French Tea Towels

I came across some dollar store flour sacks I bought a while ago last night.  I had originally planned to coffee dye them for some pillows but it's been a while since I did some tea towels and I was in the mood for something quick and not so messy.  I found this great French image from The Graphics Fairy and...
...thought it would look divine on my towels.  I printed the image onto to some transfer paper and simply ironed them on.  Still, I felt like they could use a little something extra so I went to my fabric drawer and thought vintage lace would do the trick.
I'm also thinking they'd look beautiful with ruffle bottoms, but since I haven't quite mastered making ruffles yet, the lace will do.

Wine and spirits have never looked so good!

  6. I was hoping to go the Ikea here last week, but didn't get to. I heard they have a good package for the money of towels. The lace looks really pretty on the bottom.
