The Alphabet Tea Towel

I designed this tea towel using my experience as a teacher. First I created a cohesive set on illustrations with a limited colour palette. Then I selected fonts without any funky ‘a’ or ‘g’ that some children find difficult to read. I placed the letters with the alphabet song in mind. It’s one of the first things children learn when they start recognising letters.

The Finished Tea Towel

I use a local digital printers NextState. They offer a beautiful soft linen that’s perfect for tea towels. I hem each one and add a label and hang tag.
