This is very easy project which probably doesn't need a tutorial. But it's good way to save some of your grocery dollars...I hate paying out for cloths, sponges just to dust or wipe my bench. I now make micro/polar fleece cloths instead. They work just as well as the bought ones and wash up nicely too.
Cloth size: 15" X 15" (80cm approx)
Fabric: Polar fleece, I bought a couple of metres for $10.00
Materials needed: Polar or Micro fleece, overlocker, thread, scissors, measuring square, template, Rotary cutter, pen
 |
Make template out of board and lay it
on the fabric. Then cut around it with a
rotary cutter. You can also trace around
the template with a pen and then cut out the
fabric with scissors if you prefer...
|
 |
Cut out double thickness or as many layers
as your rotary cutter can handle...
|
 |
Now overlock the squares, you can use a contrast
cotton if you like. You can leave them as they are
too...But I prefer them edged it gives the cleaning cloth some class! |
 |
| Use woolly nylon on the lower lopper of your overlock/serger. I'm using a 3 thread overlock stitch |
 |
| Curve the corners as you overlock the squares |
 |
I use a close overlock stitch to finish the edges
but you can also use a wider spaced stitch.
I prefer the closer stitch...
|
 |
| All finished with curved edges ready to fold |
 |
| Put away and ready to use.... |
