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 ;)

They weren't silly mistakes, they are learning experiences and we have all made our share. I know the kids will love them and enjoy using them. And that is what counts.

Your 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.

Sorry 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

They all look great and the recipients are going to love them!. Towels can be tricky, especially when they are really thick ones.

Gee they all look really nice to me. You may think you have made some mistakes but only you know them - so don't be so hard on yourself. Lovely work & well done.

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 :)
