Experiments in Sewing!

At my baby shower I was given a hand made "Hoodie" towel that I thought was the cutest thing ever! Well, this past weekend I had two baby showers to go to and not a whole lot of money so I thought - Why not try to make these fabulous hoodie towels myself?!

So, I went to Ross, got bath towels and wash clothes and ... TaDa!
Look what I made:

The first one was for my friend Maggie (she's having a girl) and the second one is for my friend Erica (she has decided to not find out the sex of her baby until after it is born).

I didn't take step by step pictures (maybe I will next time) but it was really, really easy! As you can see, you don't have to have a matching wash cloth and towel because it can be super cute to mix and match. I got these towels at Ross (I was so surprised at the selection and quality that was there - I will defiantly go back!) and the ribbon and buttons at Jo Ann's.

So, anyways, nothing very deep or insightful here, but I was just very proud of what I made and wanted to share.
