Hello! So after I sewed up the zippered pouches for my daughter's friends, I finally started on the towels I wanted to sew for our cousins' children. Truth be told, I had found the towel tutorial super early on in the year and was pretty excited about making these. I even bought a lot of the terry cloth material but after I got all the materials, I was just so unmotivated! My sewing machine pretty much sat neglected for months and the my fabric just sat in the box. I'm not sure, but I was always tired and didn't feel much like crafting. I guess I was in a total crafting slump. I think I started on these towels just a couple weeks before Christmas. I prewashed everything to prevent shrinkage later.
This was the first towel I made using this tutorial HERE. The only thing I did not follow was the rounded hood part because I think it's just easier to sew the binding on when it's straight. It's just personal preference. A rounded hood probably looks a bit nicer and would fit the child's head better. I made 2 towels like these with the Avengers fabric.
Then I made 2 towels with this Tsum Tsum fabric. Cutting terry cloth is very messy! Little white fluffs of fabric everywhere. I had to vacuum in between towels.
For a couple of the older children, I made just regular towels with a strip of fabric for decoration. I really like how these turned out. I might make more of these. I also machine sewed the binding on. That was a bit scary because you can't see for sure where you're sewing on the reverse side. But I think after my 3rd or 4th towel, I was a lot better at feeling where I should be sewing.
Those were all my non paper crafting projects I finished for Christmas. I'll share more of my paper crafts in the upcoming days. Thanks so much for reading!
