The famous one

The Stay Put Towelkeeps its place.

You know the routine — you hang a towel, you walk away, it slides off the counter two minutes later. So we designed a towel that doesn’t. Thoughtfully shaped and finished by hand so it grips the handle and stays where you leave it, wash after wash.

Grips, doesn’t slide
Shaped and finished to hang on the handle and stay put.
Soft, absorbent cotton
Real cloth that dries hands properly — and softens with every wash.
Easy to care for
Machine washable, so it fits the kitchen you actually have.

Our story

We love to sew — and it shows

Girl Next Door Crafts started the way a lot of good things do: with fabric we couldn’t leave behind. Today we still make every towel, bowl cozy, rice bag and blanket ourselves, one at a time.

We’re proud to share a stall at Weathered Together Market on First Street in Albany with our friends at Crafty Mac. Together we’ve curated a little collection of unique items for your home.

When you buy one of our pieces, you’re buying something someone chose the fabric for, sewed, and tucked into a bag by hand. Thank you for choosing to purchase one of our items — it truly means the world to us.
