I thought they were something only people’s grandparents made, and apparently this, ahem, isn’t the case. In my defence I was a vegetarian for eight years. Mumma Crafts on Sea is a veggie.

Really??’ Yes, really, and here’s why: 1) Anyone who visits your house will be horribly impressed that you make your own tea towels and therefore must be a Super Efficient sort 2) You can design them to fit in with the colour scheme or theme of your [...]
