Let’s face it, babies at bathtime are already adorable.  How about wrapping up with a fun hooded towel to top it off?

I often make these for baby shower gifts, and this time it was for twins!  These plush towels are larger and fluffier than the typical store-bought hooded towel.  Everyone seems to love them, plus, I’ve heard friends say their children use them for years.

I used striped towels for a little zing.  Recently, I’ve started adding hang-tags to them.  Previously, I have sewn a length of wide grosgrain ribbon along the back where the hood joins the towel, covering the seam, and left a little space un-sewn for the hang-tag.  For these, I thought I’d experiment and put the tag on the top in an accent color.  Spunky!  I wonder if my friends appreciate me experimenting on them.. hmm.

My husband says I should sell these on Etsy.  Thinking about it…

Creativity Question:  Do you ever use creativity as an escape or a means of comfort?

For me, it can be both, at times.  I remember writing poetry when I was younger - to encapsulate emotions I couldn’t contain.  And, I certainly prefer doing something creative over cleaning my house, so in that way it’s an escape.  But, I have also found painting, drawing, etc - immersing myself in something creative for a while helps to heal, comf0rt and console.
