Swedish Weaving Hand Towel Tutorial

February 23, 2021 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

Stunning to look at, this embroidered tea towel from Serendipity Handmade is made using Swedish weaving.  That is a technique that may not be familiar with everyone but if embroidery is your thing, then it is definitely something you may want to try.

This project is not for a beginner and luckily, the designer has links to tutorials to help you get started.  However if you are not new to this technique, the tea towel is a lovely project to make.  It would also make a thoughtful gift for a hostess or someone who just moved into a new home.

For this towel you will need huck toweling, two colors of thread, a sewing needle, and a safety pin.  You will also need a ruler to make sure your stitches are spaced accurately.  The tutorial guides you through the entire process with step-by-step instructions and photos.

The designer provides tips along the way, like not pulling the thread too tight and making sure to wash and dry your fabric before beginning.
