...and taking a hint from 'The Creative Family' we chose some of them to embroider onto new dish towels...
...first I needed some new dish towels...
...so we got 7 yards of cotton sheeting - cut it up and hemmed the edges - another great sewing project for a little one...
...here are 7 new dish towels waiting to be embroidered...
Just trace the picture onto the fabric lightly with a pencil.
What fun! And the Man-Cub loves these new towels. He asked what would happen when the towels wear out - yes, of course we use them - I assured him that the corners never wear out and when the towel wears out we'll cut out the embroidery and re-purpose them - in a quilt maybe...
Oh I LOVE that idea! Riley draws "nice monsters" I should do that too.
