If the mailer didn’t have a phone number on it, I simply searched the company online for a customer service number. The Wells Fargo call took 20 min but the other 6 took a total of 30 min, including looking for contact info.

What other patterns would you like to see?

If you want to switch to wool dryer balls, I’d recommend looking at your local farmers market/craft show to support your local economy 😊

I have not tried the balls that have the little faces on them. I’ve heard mixed reviews about those dryer balls, it likely depends on where you get them.

I love the colors on this pattern and was sad when I couldn’t get it anymore. Then I received a surprise notice that my back order had been filled! I do love a happy surprise 😊

Of course replacing paper towels is at the top of my list.

Maybe I’ll talk about wool drying balls next 😊 ⚪️

Answering some of those other questions:

These are made out of 100% cotton flannel.

I make them by using a serger to give them a finished edge.

The get more absorbent the more they are washed.

You can use a wash cloth, hand towel, tea towel, or a rag. It’s about finding what works best for your household 😊

If you want to make your own, but don’t have access to a serger, you can use a tight zigzag stitch on a regular sewing machine. You can also check your local library for sergers and sewing machines that you can use 😊

For sourcing flannel, Etsy and eBay both have flannel listed and Michael’s will sell it by the yard. Your local quilt shop might also have flannel in stock or be able to bring some in for you.

I get 12 towels out of 1 yard of fabric.

These towels are made out of 100% cotton flannel and are given a serged edge to prevent them from fraying. They the machine washable and dryer safe, just don’t use fabric softener.

The point of these towels is to replace single use, disposable paper towels with something similar that can be used again and again.

You can absolutely make these yourself, I posted a video in November showing you how I do it. You can also just cut up rags or use whatever you already have to break the habit of reaching for something disposable.

I keep a basket under my kitchen sink to hold the dirty towels and then I simply add them to a load I’m already doing. I still have the towels I made during the pandemic. These will last for years!

It is not my birthday month, but May just might be my favorite 💚

It is definitely more difficult to find the specific patterns I want, now that Joann is gone.

That said, I have enjoyed finding new, fun flannels!
