I was playing around with some new dishtowels I bought and wanted to try out this idea for a spider. I cut out the legs and just sewed them up the middle of the strip, I wanted them to fray. The body is three graduated circles all sewn one on top of the other, again leaving the edges to fray. I sewed on beads for the eyes- and Done! A new halloween dishtowel.
I’m not sure how well this will wash up. The legs are pretty thin and I think after a few washings, there might not be much left except for the sewn stitch lines. But, for now, he’s going to hang out in my kitchen. 😉
