Washcloth finish
Finally, I made a face/body washcloth with a frill. I've been seeing so many bloggers make these washcloths and have loved them. Admittedly, I didn't understand why you would make these at first as I'd confused them with dish or washing up cloths. I still don't understand why anyone would let their precious handmade cloth be used for washing dishes or surfaces but this is probably because I see these hand-crafted items as little luxuries. I rarely handwash dishes (if I can get away with it) and, if I must, I use a brush on a stick and have a babywipe/disposable policy for most other cleaning so I never think of boring housework as suitable for a pretty handmade cloth.
This lovely was made for a friend and I wrapped it round a beautiful bar of Yorkshire Soap Company Orangery soap and pulled through a Merry Christmas Ribbon with a crochet hook. I did think of putting a pretty button and loop on it but I was worried the recipient might end up putting her eye out when she was washing her face!

Oh, so beautiful! I just know she'll love it!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you make it? It's a beauty!
Wow, this is so pretty! I might have to borrow that gift idea for next year (if you don't mind).
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on that. Why would you use something you spent time creating to wash dishes? I've seen some lovely items made just for that purpose. Seems like such a shame to destroy something so lovely.
That's a really lovely washcloth. Makes a pretty gift with the soap.

That is such a lovely and thoughtful gift, I am sure your friend was really pleased. I received something very similar from my friend and I loved it! Jille xx
ReplyDeleteI have to say any washcloths I have made have been intended for faces, not for dirty dishes and bleach! It's lovely the way you packaged it with the soap - I'm sure it'll never see a dirty dish! x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice gift - I too, had never thought of face washcloths, I've also seen all the kitchen ones and thought they don't work for me, for similar reasons that you've given, but a face cloth is a really great idea and it looks so pretty the way you've presented it :)
