Every kitchen needs an accessory such as a mat for washing dishes. Each closet has a special metal drying rack. But then the water will flow into the pan and dampness will accumulate.
I have two of these dryers. One is on the table, the other is in the closet. I place wet dishes on the first draining rack to drain the water, and each time I pour out a full tray of water. Then I put the dry dishes in the cupboard.
But there is a category of dishes that requires more delicate drying. These are wine glasses, glasses, holiday cups and mugs, glass teapots and the like; they must be placed carefully so as not to break. Of course, everything can be laid out on a towel, but this method is neither convenient nor beautiful.
For these purposes I use a special drying mat. I used to buy them at the store, but now I sew them myself. I especially like using old terry towels as a basis; they are light, soft and absorb moisture well. Moreover, there is no need to spend money, if the rug has become unusable, it is easy to sew a new one.
I decided to update my old rug, took a towel and the remains of cotton fabric, cut them into strips 5 cm wide. Here you can use squares, rectangles, or arrange the strips diagonally.
1) I will attach the stripes to fabric the size of a rug.
2) First, I place one strip on the edge of the fabric. Next, place the front side on the first strip and attach two strips together with one edge. Then I smooth out the seam.
3) Now I place the third strip on the second and attach it in the same way. I continue this way until all the fabric is gone.
4) Next, I place the workpiece on a towel and sew them together through a strip along the seam.
5) I finished the edges with tape.
6) The result is a small but very useful thing for the home.
If you value environmental friendliness, save your money, take care of your furniture and like to do things with your own hands, be sure to sew yourself such a wonderful mat for drying dishes.
