Gremlins became famous in 20th-century folklore, especially among British aviators who blamed mysterious mechanical failures on mischievous little creatures. Before long, these imaginary saboteurs found their way into popular culture—and apparently into the laundry basket!
During the early-to-mid 1900s, Days of the Week embroidery designs were popular decorations for American flour sack tea towels. Each towel featured a traditional household duty, reminding homemakers which chores belonged to which day.
This wonderfully irreverent vintage pattern turns that tradition upside down. Instead of getting chores done, these Gremlins make sure the work is never finished!
