Hi there all!
Embroidered a few towels for 2 of my friend's kids.....Dont know why the pics dont show the exact colours sometimes.....specially with towels!
Well the 2 pink ones are of 2 girls who are best friends and thats the reason they are the same colour and design....the other 2 purple ones are another 2 little friends and the blue one is the only boy in the lot :)
I kind of messed up a little in the first pink towel I did....the tiara font M which I chose was I guess a little too dense for the towel and it troubled a lot....finally ended up giving her another pretty blue M...I love this chopin font!
Then worrying about density I kind of made the density of the monster truck a little low and that didnt turn out perfectly either where it was perfectly done on the crayon tote I had made :(
Now the 3rd silly mistake I made was in the purple towel where I left the A at 45° while rotating to fit......hahaha!
But lessons well learnt for me ;) and I am still learning!
The kids loved them and were delighted to see their personalised towels!
I thought to share all good and bad so others may be a little extra careful ;)

Thanks a lot! You are right....usually we are a little too conscious of the little things that dont turn out perfectly but others wont even notice :)

23163Sorry I missed these Fatima, busy weekend. These were a great save. I wouldn't worry about the A being rotated, but the girls will still love them. Well done and you are right we all have to make mistakes to learn. Love Chris

Thanks a lot Chris :) yes the kids all loved them!
Thankfully the mistakes didnt make anything useless. ...its still totally usable ;)
23449766023Your towels really are cute and I'm sure they will treasure them. It seems that towels really can be finicky. It's sometimes hard for me to judge just how a design will stitch out on things. What they will look like on a towel is extra hard for me and I needed a solution. So I bought a towel like the ones I use just to practice on. I stitch the practice design on it, and then I wash it. I can then judge if I need to make changes or if it will do as is.
