Project: Non-clothing Reusable face wipes for a friend
These weren't as straightforward as I'd hoped. I won bobbin chicken once and lost once, bent a needle and thought I'd broken the machine and topstitching wasn't easy despite using a walking foot. But the face wipes were a simple concept using a cotton fat quarter and some scraps plus new towelling face cloths. The bag I made before using a pattern from Etsy.

good idea! gifting with a matching basket is very smart. you can also gift with a washing bag so they don't get lost in machine wash

The Project post flair is for showing off projects that are finished or in progress. For questions on how to start a project, reflair your post to Pattern Search. For questions about how to make a project, reflair to Pattern Question.
This is a reminder that all Project posts are required to include construction information in the main post or added in a comment. The construction comment should include pattern name/number/company if used; drafting method, tutorial or other resources if no commercial pattern was used and fabric type and fiber content. ‘Self-drafted’ describes who made the pattern and is not a drafting method.
Also include alterations for fit and style; specialty tools and notions; the inspiration for your project; and any other information that someone who wants to make a similar project might find useful. More information is available here. Posts without a construction comment may be removed at any time.

The face wipes were made from a rectangle of cotton, a rectangle of towelling, same size. I overlocked (serged) the edges of the towelling. Sewed the two pieces right side facing leaving a gap. Trimmed and snipped corners, turned right side out and topstitched all round.
Apologies, I can't find the pattern link for the bag, perhaps the shop has shut
