Mibo: The tea towel that Roared

What a dilemma. Whether to cut up the Mibo Lion Tea towel straight away, and make it into a cuddly friend, or to actually use it for dishes for a while and then transform softer, weathered fabric? Ok, it might have the odd stain or two at that point but it would just have that "well-loved" feeling, right?

It's £12, available from Ray Stitch and they also have the Mibo paper animal kits, delightful little critters to put together and stack on a shelf or desk.  If you're a crafty type, beware as they specialize in amazing fabrics including often hard-to-find Japanese prints, and fabulous printed ribbons by the metre. You can pop by their Stitch Shop and Cafe if you're near Islington in London too. Happy Crafting!
