Measure approximately 3" from the end in which you want to insert the lace band.


 Draw a straight line even with the end of the towel using a wash-away marking pen and ruler.

This line is where we are going to insert the lace band. We are also going to attach lace to the bottom edge. If you want more or less towel between the lace, adjust the position of the line before you cut the end off.


 Cut the towel into two sections along the line.

Cut two pieces of crocheted or embroidered lace that are 1" longer than the width of your towel.


 You can use gathered lace along the bottom edge of your towel if you prefer.

Your version sounds like it would hold up really well too. Maybe it'd horrify people, I don't know, but I always believed these beautiful little touches were supposed to be USED in real life, not just stored away for company (although that's nice too as long as they get USED!)!! It's so much nicer to treat family like company when you can.
