A little while ago, my son was invited to a birthday party for a 1 year old sweet little girl named Mia. My son goes to the junior gym with Mia’s older brother Max, but Kam is really smitten with Mia. I wanted to make her something unique for her birthday, so I came up with this personalized hooded towel:
I had appliqued the letters in a damask fabric.
I also tried my hand at some of these popular flowers floating around the net and made her some hair clips:
I think they came out pretty cute. If you would like a tutorial for the clips let me know and I will make one.
Both gifts were a hit! Mia’s mommy says she wraps herself in the towel like a blanket and won’t put it down. Yay!!
Have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteI love making the flower hair clips they are so cute and so unbelievably easy! I found them through U Create using this: http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2009/10/mini-satin-flower-clips.html
ReplyDeleteNow...if I can just get my hands on more satin scraps. I swear, it's SO hard to come by. It's been suggested to me that using 1 1/2" satin ribbon or larger works really well, if anyone else has the same problem.
Love the towel, and they are very cute flower hair clips!
