I thought I posted this, but dont see it so am posting again

I want to make some decorative dishtowels to sell and for gifts, but need new ideas! I dont want to use terrycloth because it is too bumpy, but homespun is thin and doesnt absorb much. Altho I do like the looks of the homespun. I also have fabric that I want to decorate the towels with, but other than a band across, not sure how to decorate them.

Does anyone else make these? And can you share ideas and pics please? THANKS!
