Put the two pieces of cotton towel wrong sides together, making sure that, if you’re using the towel’s existing hem for one short edge, the hems are on the same side. If you’re not using an existing hem, hem one short side of each piece prior to this step, then make sure those hemmed ends are on the same side.
Measure in 1″ on both sides on one long side of the pieces, then sandwich one end of elastic between the toweling at each of those points. The elastic should be between the two pieces of toweling, extending inwards, with one raw edge of each piece of elastic lined up with the raw edges of the toweling. Pin in place.
Sew across this long side of the mop pad, catching the elastic in your stitching (and back-stitching to reinforce it), then sew across the unhemmed short side of the mop pad.

You must have been reading my mind. Just this morning I was thinking that I need to make new pads for my steam mop which I absolutely love. Thank you.
Love the details but where’s the pictures to help? I’m new to sewing and wish I could use this tutorial but without pictures I’m going to have to keep looking. Just a suggestion, thanks 🙂
