In the current Tea Towel Swap round 2, my whole group seems to be doing aprons instead of tea towels.

I'd actually perfer an apron myself

BACK ON TOPIC

I don't know if this has been brought up, or if others in past swaps have done this...but do fabric stores sell fabric that is similar to tea towel material? I actually purchased a vintage tablecloth from a garage sale for a quarter that is a nice flour sackish type material. It has a few small stains and I was thinking of using it as fabric for tea towels and pillowcases.

When I worked at a fabric store that catered to machine embroiderers, Dunroven House was one of the brands we carried that everyone seemed to like. I don't know how well they would work for hand embroidery, but they are pretty nice weight, come in a lot of different solid colors and aren't TOO terribly expensive. (I think we sold them for about $4 retail)

The other brand we sold was Indo-US Sales, but I think they're mostly plaid.
