From Sketch to Tea Towel: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at My Design Process

Designing a tea towel at Carrot Top Studio is a thoughtful process rooted in storytelling, creativity, and purpose. From the first spark of inspiration—whether it’s a seasonal theme, a piece of scripture, or a meaningful symbol—we begin sketching and refining ideas by hand. Once a concept takes shape, we move into digital illustration, carefully choosing colors and composition to ensure the final design feels both joyful and functional. After test prints and tweaks, the design is sent to our production partner who prints on high-quality, absorbent fabric. Every step is taken with care, resulting in a tea towel that’s not only useful in your kitchen, but a beautiful expression of faith and art.
