Could you please include the size of the towels, because here in the netherlands handtowels have a different size. A childs head would not fit in in a half handtowel over heren

WOW what a great idea would you ship internationally? Wishful thinking LOL

I embeded this episode, because I just love it! I will make these for my boys. I s there a way to show what I have made with your help?

How can I say what I love best from the embroidery webside? There is so much I love. I want the flexi snips (broke mine a few weeks ago) The price of these is great and it is the best tool.
Thay have many many many great designs and even some very nice free ones.
And did you see the stack and store bobbin tower, I want that!

I live at the beach and these are gonna come in SOOOOOO handy for my 3 beachbound grandkids!!I’m gonna make one for me and grandpa!!

I learned a lot about the embroidery machine today and now I want one.

Posted Episode 9 on twitter.

So simple! It would make great summer gifts! Thanks for all the tips!

What a fun and fast idea to make your child happy.
I love the plastic cover on the thread that prevents staining and tangling. Also the thread colors are endless. Then I took a look at the video gallery at Hemmingworth which is definitely worth a visit.

I just love the towels they are sooooo cute.
Joan

I love the embroidery blanks that they have on the website!

LOVE this idea!!!! I needed baby shower gifts and there they are.

I love this project! I can’t wait to get home tonight to make at least one, maybe more! My granddaughter will look adorable and get tons of use out of this towel at the pool. She is also into purses and the tote is just her size. I have just ventured into embroidery and love Hemmingworth’s cover over the thread to avoid tangles. The color selection is also fantastic. Thank you for sharing these projects and Hemmingworth’s products.

Embroidery.com has a little bit of everything. I’m amazed at the gadgets available that I didn’t know about in their sewing supplies section.

My GD is so anxious to go to the beach this year. She is 3 and loves the beach. Wouldn’t the grand kids love one of these beach towels personalized just for them! Thank You!

Thank you!! I have been wondering how to make hooded towels and now that we just moved to the hot state of Texas, they will come in handy for my boys and as gifts. I also absolutely love the fact that you are keeping your old episodes up on your website. That way I can go back and do a project I wasn’t able to do right away. I’m putting your logo on my blog! You guys rock and I love these videos. Sharing them with all my friends on facebook too!

What a great idea. Thanks

I just went to Embroider.com and I’ve bookmarked a few of their e-classes I plan to watch when I have a bit of free time. Thanks for introducing me to this site.

By the way, I’ve emailed 2 friends about the giveaway (although I told them they have to share the thread if they win) and I’ve posted about it on my Facebook page.

Can’t wait to get started on the cute beach towels! I have a backyard swimming pool and 3 kids, so this is a perfect idea. Now all I need is an embroidery machine and all that amazing thread!

I twittered.

Thank you for pointing me to Embroidery.com! I have never seen Hemingworth products and I am interested in that and also the designs available on the website.

Loved the Hooded-Towel idea! And I already have a super Embroidery machine, so I am going to get a stash of towels and make some gifts for my daughter and all her little cousins, just in time for Summer! I will add a cute little design as well as their own Monogram – what a really great gift idea too, especially for upcoming Baby showers. I might even make me one from a large beach towel, I’d like one too!

Another great idea. What a great gift for someone who does not sew and they would say wow! what a great idea. How did you come up with that. I love these little towels and I used them for my daughter all the time when when she was little. All her friends are getting married and having children and I would love to make these and give as gifts. Thanks so much for all your great ideas.

Embroidery.com has been in my favorites places on my computer for years. I love to embroidery so they are a one stop shopping place for everything I need.

This is a perfect idea for beach towels…. Love it, love it!! I’ll be working on this project this weekend. It will be perfect for my kids, niece and nephew.

I checked out Embroidery.com and they have a lot of neat stuff for both machine embroiders or hand embroider, so you can embroider on your hooded towels even if you do not have an embroidery machine.

Cute! Cute! Cute! I need to get going and make a bunch of these ~ our kids will be the envy of the beach club! Thanks for another GREAT idea.

Have made these towel wraps before and always a big hit as a gift.

What a cute project!! Those would make a great summer birthday gift! LOVE the thread drawer!

Once again…cute

How fun is this? My niece just had twins last night and what a fun gift for her. Can’t sait to make them.

Oh my goodness! I LOVE that hooded towel…..I see a few in my future!

Nini

I love the little bag in this episode. I have a 10 year old granddaughter who loves sewing and crafts. She is going to a swim camp this summer. It will be a perfect project for her to make for herself and her friends.
I think the thread caddy is an amazing invention. Would love to own a few for my thread ‘collection’
Susan

Love the ideas. Always looking for more ideas for machine embroidery projects, especially for gifts and giveaways. Love the different embroidery threads!

Love your show. I think I’ll make the wash cloth tote and bath towel hoodie for my niece.

What a great gift idea. I especially love the simple beach purse. I love the embroidery thread. The holder looks fantastic and all your thread is readily together.

These would make a great baby shower gift as well.

Love the hooded towels! Thank you for a great video!

The towel project was so adorable – and easy! I wish I had some of those when my kids were little….guess I’ll have to wait for grandchildren to spoil! I have never seen the Hemmingworth thread before but you’re right…it has me drooling! Thank you so much<
Laura from Indiana

I don’t twitter…but I did forward the email about the episode to all of my friends that sew. I know they will love it! I hated to send it because now I can’t WOW them when I take this EASY fabulous hooded towel to a shower or birthday…they will know how easy it really is. Oh well…I can still be creative with the embroidery!

I love embroidery.com! I love to look around on their website…I CANNOT get over the Hemingway thread!! I have never seen anything like that set! WOW! I think that is one of the best items they have on their site. The covers on each spool are amazing! Good luck to everyone! Whoever wins that will be blessed!

I would love to win this! Thanks for the opportunity.

I went to embroidery.com and they have some great things there. I love to look at the projects and get inspired. They have the directions to help to get them done. Thanks for directing me to this site.

love this project!! my grandchildren are ALL going to have these by tomorrow!!

What I have beem looking for Hemmingway! So tired of buying all those thread cases!

I love the mini tote–perfect for keeping small things together in your beach bag!

I’m telling ALL my sewing friends about you!

I have posted it into my blog. You make this so easy.

Love the project! I have done some for my grandkids but you have given other ideas which are great. I liked the use of the double sided tape instead of hooping the towel.
Thanks

Thanks for the embroidery tips that you shared. I definitely want to try the Hemingworth embroidery double sided tape.

Love the washcloth sunglass cover. Perfect for the beach!

Thanks for the link to embroidery.com; I’ve learned a lot from scrolling around that site! My Viking dealer offers mostly rayon thread for sale, and the Janome dealer in the next town offers only polyester thread for sale. I found an interesting sidebar on embroidery.com under the Hemingworth thread banner that gives explanations for the different thread types and also suggestions for needles. Great information! And when it comes to embroidering on towels, a video like DIY #9 is valuable info to have!

Since I am a beginner, I was drooling over everything. Patterns, thread, machines, everything! Embroidery.com has anything you could possibly be looking for. Thanks for the resource!

I love the towels. I can’t wait to make a couple for my girls. I have a sample of Hemmingworth thread from a class I attended. I am drooling over the set. Thanks a bunch for the neat idea.

Thanks for sharing the coverup. Great idea and so easy.

This is a great episode!!!!!!!! I use Hemingworth thread and absolutely love it …this would be a great addition to my collection. I am going to make this towel for my grandson and for my two grandchildren on the way.

Yummy yummy yummy thread!!

I think I would like to make the beach towels for my granddaughters. I’m pretty sure they will love them. Also, I love your show.

Wow, I’d love to win that stash!

Great Idea!!! Thanks for all your hard work putting the shows together! xoxoxox

Thanks for sharing the Embroidery.com website link. I loved everything! Too hard to pick one thing, but I am interested in a new sewing chair, always needing great threads, and who doesn’t want sewing supplies and crafting patterns. Threads look gorgeous and I am very intrigued by the drawer system!

What a great selection in the store! I will certainly be ordering some of the embroidery patterns! Thanks for the links!

I love the hooded towel, my daughter’s family is headed to the beach on vacation in 3 weeks, I can’t wait to surprise the boys with the towels, and make a tote for the sunglasses and sun screen, also handy for the cell phone. I just went to the Hemmingway thread sight. Oh I am so excited, I have a embroidery machine, Yeah Grandma’s styling now, I wlll be 72 next thursday, but just learned how to do machine embroidery since I retired. And the Hemmingway thread, I can’t wait to try it, I get such tangles in my present thread, and was relieved to see it wasn’t any more expensive than what I use now. Thank you so much. I have 10 grandchildren who are going to be very happy.

Beautiful things. Would love to do some of this myself using the thread and ideas you have. Great!

I just love it!! Can’t wait to make one for my grandaughter and if I can find a smaller towel I will make one for my little grandson who is only 6 months old, he will be so cute!!

Love this show. Can’t wait to make the beach cover up and pouch.
Sandi

I love this hooded towel tutorial! I can’t wait to start making them. I have just ordered my FIRST embroidery machine and cannot wait to get started. This thread would be a great bonus. LOVE THE SHOW!

I just embedded your video in my Blog!!!!

How cute! I have a nearly 2 year old granddaughter that loves to swim!

One of my favorite things is machine embroidering now! I would love to make the hooded towel with some added personalization! The Thread would be a dream to win!

I enjoyed watching on how to make the tote. Sharing it with my daughter. Thank you.

I love these towels. i have been making them for a while now. they make such fun gifts. I also love embroidery.com. I have never tried there thread. I will be soon. I have to untangle thread all the time. I am in love with the thread cover on the Hemingworth Thread. I will be getting some soon.

Awesome episode! Thanks for sharing this simple and inexpensive project! I am looking forward to giving this a try. We are going on a trip in a few weeks to Florida and I think by boys might have to have one:) Thanks again ladies!

Loved the BobbinSaver on embroidery.com!

Thanks for letting us know about embroidery.com! I have never heard of the Hemingworth brand!

Thanks so much for sharing. You have gotten me motivated to make personalized bath towels for all this summers childrens birthday gifts!

I just posted this episode on my Facebook page!! (I almost want to keep your great ideas to myself and not tell anybody.)

Can hardly wait to make several of the hooded bathtowels. They will make great baby gifts.

I like the hooded towels. the items on embroidery.com, way too many to pick just one love! I have tried those Hemingway threads, they are great threads.

Great Episode! I have 6 small grandboys that will have ‘Pirate Theme’ Beachtowels! Thanks – Got to run now to the store for towels!!!!

OMG…Those towels are awesome and so very very simple…I can’t wait to make some..Yes I said some not one..I think I am gonna make them for my kidds and my lil neices as well. And the puch is awesome too. I was thinking I could line the pouch with some clear vinyl. Because my daughter that is 10 loves to take her cell phone everywhere. I am always worried when she brings it along to the pool so maybe if I put some vinyl in it it would make it a bit waterproof in case she dripped on it… Anyway cudos to another great great show with great and simple instructions fo ra wonderful useful project.

Oh yea I learned something new too from todays episode. i had never seen that embroidery double sided tape before. thank you for a wonderful product showcase…I gotta get some of that I hate to hoop ..I usually just pin everthing to the hooped stabalizer with large pins. Thank u…

Love all of the animal blanks you can ebroider.

I can’t wait to make these towels for all my nieces and nephews for our family beach trip this summer!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful ideas!!!

I just watched the video. Lots of good information I am sure to use. Thanks

I am going to make these cute beach cover ups for my grandchildren. I gave my 5 year old grand daughter a little sewing machine for Christmas. When she comes over I am teaching her how to sew. Thanks for the cute beach tote idea. That will be our next project.

I am passing this website on to my daughter. She will love it.

I have never heard of the Hemingworth Thread. I LOVE the containers they come in because I can’t stand all the loose ends of thread. I also like the idea of using the double sided tape for embroidery because I hate hooping. I am going to order some thread and the tape today.

I just embedded your code on my facebook page. I am sure all my freinds will love the video as much as I did ….You should get a lot of new traffic to your site as well. I hope I win the thread..I go through tons of embroidery thread and i have never tried the Hemmingway threads . It does look like a very neat little packaging system that they use.

Just posted this episode on my blog as well. http://www.maisysplace.blogspot.com

WOW! You really made the hooded towel look super easy!!!

and the threads…..WOW! I love the set up!

Really enjoy your show. Always so glad to see the posting in my email on Tuesday mornings. I have my second cup of coffee and enjoy. I also machine embroidery. It is addictive. Would love to own all that thread.

Loved this episode! What a cute idea to have these hooded towels on hand for when grandkids come over to swim or hot tub! And thank you especially for the idea about the double-stick embroidery tape…I’m getting LOTS of that for sure!

Great giveaway- as always.

I love the little tote out of the washcloth! It will be so perfect when going to the pool for sunblock. It always seems to get lost in a the big bag of stuff I tote along. Now I can just let the kids carry it!! Thanks so much for sharing your great ideas!!

The towels are adorable. I’ll be making them for the neighborhood kids!

I posted the video on my blog: http://prpldy15.blogspot.com/2010/05/hooded-towel-for-summer.html

Cute and simple! My favorite crafts. This is definitely going to be on my list of gifts to make!!

I love needle felting and really want one of these Pen Style Felting Needle Tool (8901 / F074295NM). I have the tool that holds 6 needles but need this one too.

Get the kids starting to sew with this easy project!

The double sided tape is a must for me….what a find! I am going to try this with beach towels. Thank you….

This towel project has always been one of my favorite projects for baby showers! My daugher and my son each did one for a 4-H fair project years ago!!
I just love embroidery.com! They have wonderful online classes and that Hemingworth thread is the best!! They carry 12wt thread for my serger crochet projects and I get all my thread there!! embroidery.com also sponsors ASG online webinars too!! LOVE them!!

My grandmother made a hooded beach towel for my son when he was little. She hand embroidered his name. Now I am going to try to make them for my grandchildren. Thanks!

My son was watching the video with me and said that he NEEDS a hooded towel so I guess I will be making them for all my boys. I would love to win. The thread that is amazing, and a way to store it! Thanks for showing us such amazing products.

The towells are precious! I am going to visit and this will be a perfect present for my grandson who lives near the beach. Thanks for all your great ideas.
Pris

I love the hooded towel. What a great gift idea.

I will be trying out this project for sure! I have four children ranging in ages from 3 months to 8 years old. This towel would be much warmer and much more absorbant than the baby towels offered in the stores for my baby. It will also be great for my older ones at the pool. I Can’t wait to get started!

I posted on FB! Thanks for the great easy instructions. I love to embroider towels I have made them for everyone but my own children, I need to get working.

I loved your show today! I’ve always wanted to make a hooded towel, but all my kids are grown and NO grandchildren The good new is that my nephew’s wife is pregnant and I think a baby towel would be gresat for the baby! Thanks so much! Joyce

Can’t wait to make the hooded towels for EVERYONE. I knew it had to be easy. Thanks so much for sharing. And the tape is a must find. I’ve been using the spray adhesive and think the tape will be so much better.

This is the easiest and best looking hooded towel I have seen. I have sewn two other versions of it and this is the neatest. Cant wait to try it.

My grand babies are in for a beach towel treat!! Can’t wait to make them!!!!

What a great idea, such cute towels…

Just posted to my Facebook

I would love to win that thread! Cannot wait to try out making the towels!
missy

Is thereno end to your clever ideas? The grandkids are going to love these projects.

These threads are beautiful. It would be amazing to win. I really liked the show, I might do these for my grandsons.

This is a super quick project for beginning sewers and something for graduate gifts.

That was a great show! I don’t have a blog, so I put it on facebook.

I also went and checked out the website and all the furniture is so nice and maybe someday. LOL
I one thing I thought was really great and something I could actually afford was the Arrow Suzi storage cabinet. I am keeping my fingers crossed on this giveaway and will be checking back. That is so cool.
Pattyjo

The towel is a great idea. I’m definitely making one for my grand-niece.

I have been in the process of collecting patterns and ideas for my upcoming new grandchild. Maybe your project idea would be great for children that are 2+ years old. Thank you for the project I will use it in the future. I wasn’t aware of the Hemingsworth line of thread – what a great idea to contain the thread reduce mess – love it. Would love to own that thread!!!

There’s so much to see at Embroidry.com! I think my favorite is the <a href="http://www.embroidery.com/product.asp?sid={DEF7AB8E-6782-4BF7-9441-552BB255DDE2}&EFID=1781&productsetid=108181&shopstop=1".Pixie table by Arrow Sewing Cabinets. Right now I have to use the kitchen table to sew on and the floor to cut my fabric on. It would be nice to have something to use that could do both and still be compact when I need to store it away. I share my craft room with Hubby and his computer, so my space is limited. The Pixie table is definitely going on my wish list!

The sewing chair @Embroidery.com really caught my eye. It is definitely going on my wish list. I’ve also bookmarked the site because there are too many things of interest for only one visit.

Wow! Time to go towel shopping! I can’t wait to make these easy hooded towels! Thanks for another great show!!

I have been a long-time visitor to Embroidery.Com and you’re absolutely right! Amazing products and great deals! Thanks for showcasing their site!!

I’m completely obsessed with wool felting right now, So I will definitely be looking into buying some of my supplies from Embroidery.com Great Prices!
Thanks again!
Sirena

I have made hooded towel before and was not successful. After watching you do it, I know where I went wrong. It looks so easy. I can’t wait to try again, the right way this time. Thanks for the show. I enjoy it every time.

Love this. Well done ladies:)

Thank you for the extra tip on how to embroider on towels. I love the idea and will surely use them for many many gifts!

I love those lil bags! Going to make a few for my neices & nephews!

Oh how I hate to hoop! I am off to get some of this double sided Embroidery Tape! Didn’t know they made that! Thanks for info alone.

I absolutely love this idea. These would be great party favors for my daughter’s birthday pool party.

this episode was great!love the towel ideas!

I really love the hooded bath towel. I went to Embroidery.com and looked at all they have to offer. What is not to like. I just love all the set ups for the furniture where you have everything at your finger tips. ahh if I ever win the lottery?? lol

I would love to have the Hemingworth thread. Love your show!

I love these ideas!! Can anyone tell me where this embroidery design came from? I’d love to use the same design on my towels. The mouse is sooo cute.

Great! My daughter needs a new one, she outgrew her little ones.

So cute – great gift for my neises summer birthday!

The Control-A-Twist Thread Guide is pretty sweet!

I checked out embroidery.com. It is a great website! I love the darling stuffed animals to embroider on. My favorite is the cow and the ladybug!. Their retail store is in my hometown and I love supporting our local businesses!

The hooded bath towel looks so easy and my grandaughter has been using her oler brothers when she comes to swim so now I can make her own and put her name or something cute on it to make it her own.

What a GREAT idea!! And I ADORE that mouse embroidery design. I am on the hunt for it on the site now.

Another great episode.

Loved everything at embroidery.com – can’t decide what I need most

I LOVE those towels! They are nicer, funner and cheaper to make than buying the ones in stores. I can’t wait to make them for my daughter.

The Summer Mouse Design can be found here:

The entire Darling Mouse Set can be found here:

Love the Hemingway threads, have used them and really like the sheen.

I visited embroidery.com — what an amazing resource! Would like to try the double stick embroidery tape, I don’t like to hoop items if I don’t have to. I checked out some of the embroidery designs. Some of those could be lots of fun to add to my collection.

wow this was a easy project can not wait to do it and the thread giveaway well i am crossing my fingers
Thank you
Pye

Wonderful towel wrap! Not just for the beach, but even for bedtime baths! Thanks for the episode.
Hey, on your website, could you please change the turquiose font to a different color? It is really hard to see.
Thanks!
Lisa N

Thanks for inspiring me with your towel wrap and tote. What about that cell phone or MP3 player? They deserve a handsome tote similar to the tote you made today.

Fun Project! Thanks for your fun weekly webisodes!

Keep up the good work you two!
Judy

Love the video. I will be making one of those for my grandson.

I have been making hooded towels for years, but with a different hood. Yours is very simple and I cannot wait to try it. I love the embroidered touches!

Love the hooded towel, looks so easy to make. I will be making one this week for a weekend birthday party!

Who wouldn’t I want to make a hooded towel for?! okay maybe adults but I could make the pocket sling for them!

Thanks for another great project idea! We do a lot of play dates at the fountains and also live near the beach, so this is going on my “to do” list!

Loved the project! It will be so much fun for grandchildren’s summer brithday presents. I also love Embroidery.com. I have purchased some of there designs and have had so much fun with them and giving them as gifts. I am always happy with new tips since I have only had my machine for a couple of months. Glad to find out that I have options besides hooping, referring to the double sided tape. Thanks for your ideas and fun projects.

Wow, what a thrill to hear my name mentioned today in Episode 9. Thank you for reading my ideas for the doggie brown paper basket last week. I feel like a celebrity today! Marietta

I teach beginners sewing classes and I am so excited about using this as a project for my girls!! What a great idea! Thanks so much!

Love these ideas! I don’t have an embroidery machine, but I think adding some fabric shapes and zig-zagging around them would be CUTE! The little tote is a perfect beginner project!

Thanks again for another great week!

You always find great ways of turning everyday things into extraordinary gifts that are so very useful! Wow. You’ve impressed me big time. Thanks!

Just posted to my Facebook wall!

Wow I love it.. I had made some of that towels before for my children and friends and they are wonderful, even do I learn something new today about that spools of thread and the tape to place and embroider that is amazing. I love to embroider and that is a big pain to me. Off course I will love to have more thread Machine embroidery is addictive LOL!!!

Love the towel and bags, great 4-H sewing project! I soooo want an embroidery machine. Will have to hint around to hubby for my birthday. Thanks so much!!

The hooded towels have been on my “To Do” list forever! I love them. A friend of mine made two sets for my twins when they were born. They are five now and still love their hooded towels. I would love to have a stash ready to go for shower gifts and birthday gifts. Now that you reminded me of them I will have to move them to the top of the “To Do” list!!!!!

I just emailed this link to my friends who have been interested. One of them remembers you both from Ricks and wanted to see your great webcast!

I just went over to the embroidery.com website. They have everything! My mom has an embroidery machine, so I would love to do some classes from the website to learn to use it! Thanks!

Very cute and easy towels, thanks so much. I look forward to every episode!

what a clever idea to use for towels, so easy and fun personalize!!!!!

Thank you for this video. I’m going to make all my small grand children one.
Keep up the great inspirations!
I also hate to hoop!

I have sent all my friends your site! Have had alot of responses on it!

I love this idea! I must look into buying an embroidery machine!

These towels are adorable. I think I’m going to make one for my daughter who is on the high school swim team. I’ll use a very large beach towel and do it in school colors. She’ll love it after practices.

Again, another great project show. Love the washcloth bag-be a great project for my 11 yr old DGD to make. Thanks again.

I LOVE this project – I have been wanting to make these for my kids and your instructions just made it easier! I would also LOVE to win the thread!

LOVE your projects! So much fun and easy to do. I love to take them around with me on my ipod and sew sew sew! This “Beach Towel” Idead is GREAT! living in FL it is a MUST for everyone! And one never runs out of beach towels to make stuff out of Im posting this on my Facebook page!

I was curious about the double sided tape so looked at it on embroidery.com, and I can’t wait to try it, but it is on backorder. I guess I will have to wait for it to come in.

Clever, clever…… someday I will have grandkids to spoil with this stuff….. in the meantime….. I would LOVE The caddy!

Your shows get better each week and this week show is perfect for this time of year. I have a couple of gifts to make and this will be perfect. Can’t wait to get over to embroidery.com and check out that tape (although the post before mine says it is on back order). I’ve never tried Hemingworth thread, but it looks like it will be fabulous. Crossing my fingers and toes!

The double sided tape is what I want .I hate to hoop!

My Grandchildren would love these hoodies when they go to their swimming lessons or just swimming. A really fun project that I can be creative with. Thank you

This is a cute little hooded towel. I love the embroidery on it.

Great project and so-o-o easy. I’m going to make one for each of my 4 grandbabies. Keep them coming! I just love to watch the two of you. You are both so adorable.

I love this project!! I have tried making these before and the directions you have are so simple and I love the way you use the finished edges. I still use these for my 5 year old bath and I also use them when I give my small dogs baths it helps to wrap them up in the towels. Thank you for all your easy and fun projects!!!

I visited Embroidery.com and just as you said there are lots of items to consider. A great site.

I went to embroidery.com and looked around. I love their kangaroo cabinets; how great would it be to have everything you need at arm’s reach, all organized and handy! And the thread colors are just gorgeous!

I’ve made these hooded towels. Now I’m going to make a tote to put the towel in to give away for gifts to family and friends. They are wonderful for the pool, beach, or lakes. Everybody seem to like them and enjoys receiving a personalized gift if their names are put on them. Keep up the great work on your show.

This is really cute and practical…thanks

Ooh, I can’t wait to make these for my girls!

Love your idea for hooded bath towel and tote. It will be a fun gift for my new grand babies.
Enjoy your informative classes.

Great idea- the kids LOVE to play in the water, but then get cold so fast. This will help warm then up.

I checked out embroidery.com- what interested me most was the hardanger- I’d never heard of it, except in reference to the hardanger fiddle.

The hooded beach towels are so cool and wonderfully easy. I have never seen the double sided tape used for hooping fabric for embroidery before. This is definitely a tip I will try.

Darling towel and adorable little tote!

Creativity was served! I enjoy making hooded towels for children & baby gifts, but the little bag is adorable & what an easy accesory to put with the towel gift. Thanks again, oh yes & I could really use the thread as I have more than one embroidery machine. My boys used to say that they collected hocky cards, Mom collects thread, lol.

It is the most simple thing to make and can be used forever.

Watching is so much fun

I love hooded towels! They really are easy peasy =) I like the little washcloth bag. You could also use the other half of the hand towel if you didn’t have a use for it. Love the elastic hairband for the loop for the button closure. Great repurposing.

Wish you had a pdf file just to remember the ideas. Thanks

I have posted this on my blog. Thanks

Loved your episode today and what amazing threads – love the covers on them and no more tangles!!!

Wow, what a great idea. I can’t wait to make one. Great Job again!! Thank You for your time and inspiration every week. You both have really opened my eyes to my inner crafter..

This was a way cute and cheap idea, fun for the kids and even the adults. thank you for the great idea! can’t wait to see whats next.

The hooded towels make me crave summer so bad!

These are the greatest gift…the kids really love them and they are so deceptively easy! Thanks for sharing.

I’m intrigued with some of the cross stitch and hand embroidery items at embroidery.com. Thanks!

I love to use my embroidery machine so this is just another GREAT way to use more embroidery. Also the towel reminds me of a robe my mom made me when I was in high school, made with two towels it pulled over my head and hand towels made the hood. Loved that beach robe! I will be making these for my grandkids too! Love you girls!

I love the hoodie and that little shoulder pouch is adorable! I can see using different fabric squares as well! Thanks for the quick cute ideas

hi girl just watched your show im going to be making some beach towels for my grand kids thank you very much .nellie

I have been searching for better quality hoodie towels to embellish for gifts, thank you for making this possible! I love your idea of stitching a design on the back center, an absolute stroke of brilliance!!! The Hemmingworth Threads are beautiful, next stop…Embroidery.com!

I love my embroidery machine….and your web show! You girls are a hoot! Blessings!

Love the beach items and checked out embroidery.com. This site made me feel like a kid with the Christmas Catolog.

Now I totally want a drawer full of pre-wound bobbins! What a revolution!

great wrap for the beach. i live in maryland and have ocean city that they would be great for. my family in florida that would love this towel. great gift for baby shower gifts.

Another great project. I hope to give this one a try too……

Holy Canoli or holy guacamole!! either way, that thread is beautiful!! I am a threadaholic and a fontaholic, can’t get enough of either… will have to check this out, because I also hate the unraveling and nesting threads in my thread boxes. Thanks for a fun episode!!

Greta

great project, great products, I am very interested in the double stick tape, seems so much more environmentally friendly than the spray adhesive.

Most hooded bath towels for babies are so skimpy, and I’ve been trying to figure out how to make them for my granddaughter, using regular bath towels… man, are you my favorite people now!!! Thanks so much for the fabulous video!! And the ric rac trim is just perfect! Of course, the embroidery thread would be perfect, since I finally saved up and got myself an machine last year… after 40 years of hand embroidery, it’s a pleasure to let a machine do some of the tedious needlework for me!! Thanks so much!!

Those are the cutest little pouches I have ever seen. And such a great idea using a hair tie and button as a closure. My niece and granddaughter are going to love one of these. And of course they will have to be pink….

Embroidery.com is definitely a new favorite place to hang out! And I have to say I never even thought about double face tape for hooping!! I’ll be ordering their biggest quantity of that fun stuff!! I too hate hooping, especially bulky stuff like towels, and since I’m new to machine embroidery and don’t have lots of time to do classes or tutorials, and have only recently been able to spend a little time viewing great videos like YOURS, I never dreamed there was any way to stabilize my projects other than the basic hoop method! WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!! You’ve opened my eyes, and I can’t wait to learn more! I’ve been to your blog a few times, and I subscribe to your updates, but I can see that I shall be visiting you daily now, spending as mucy time as possible searching through your information, learning as much as possible from your vast reservoir of knowledge and experience! Thanks so much for being here!!!

I loved the beach wrap. It looks quick and easy.
I have a tip–save the odds and ends of your water-soluble topper,
then dissove in a small amount of water and brush on as a great
stablilizer. It dries fairly quickly and works well-saves a few
pennies, too. I’ve used the thread and it’s wonderful. I embroidered
on the minky bear blanks from Embroidery.com’s store–soo adorable.
Thanks for the ideas!
Carolyn

Love the hooded towels. Im going to make all my neeices and nephews one. Brenda

Great thread and I love their embroidery designs! I look forward to adding some of them to my dog coats.

Those are such pretty threads!

Thank you!! You have inspired me to work on the tote and towel with my daughters.

Love the wash cloth project! Going to use it for my summer sewing camps!

Once again this is such the fun hit!!!

The two of you never cease to amaze me! The hooded towel is adorable. The mouse embroidery is so cute and I love the washcloth towel. Thanks, Cindi

Again, many thanks…Cindi

LOVE this What beautiful colors-Jen

love this sewing project, I too will use some older towels I have been wanting to replace, but didn’t have good reason to, Now I have one! Thanks!!!!

I am enjoying all of your projects. Made the pin cushion cake. I am going to try the beach towel and pouch this week
Thanks so much.

The hooded towel is a fantastic idea for the beach. My granddaughter could have used one on Saturday when she was at the New Symrna Beach. I’m going to Target tomorrow to buy some towels in her favorite color. She’s a diva and would love this. Thank you!

How cute! Have many babies coming due this summer. What great baby towels these would make, and especially with the right embellishment.

I have had my two year old daughter grab my thread with sticky fingers and that cover is a genius idea!!!! I would LOVE to have that set, just seeing it makes me all crafty!

Soooo cute!!!!!

I grew up with a hooded towel, but haven’t made one for my daughter. I am glad to know exactly how to do that! And that little 2 minute project will be perfect for my achievement day girls.

Just went to the website and there are amazing things just as you said. I recently got an embroidery machine, but haven’t used it yet. That thread would really come in handy for my using it. I would love a give away of one of their sewing tables as well.

I just love this easy project. Keep it up ladies.

What a cute idea! LOVE IT:)

Awesome episode! I am going to try that on receiving blankets! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.
Sheila

Shared the idea on facebook.

Love the projects on embroidery.com. the 3d flowers are beautiful…

5/18/10 – Loved idea of hooping stabilizer instead of project. Brilliant! Thank you.

Thanks for a great video. I’ve been wanting to make one of these for my grandchild. That Hemmingworth thread caddy looks wonderful. I really like the stabilizers that Embroidery.com carries.

great idea. love the thread collection. summers in mississippi are extremely hot and pools are in high demand. the hooded towel is great! thanks for the ideas.

I got a Hooded Towel for a gift 20+ years ago and made more for my kids and Now That is what I give as Baby/Kids Gifts and now People ask me to make them so they can make them as gifts! Great for Babies and Toddlers! LOVE THEM !!!!

OH MY………i was wondering where these ladies get these stuffed animals to sew into their bellies and there they are on the embroidery.com web site!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! Now i can start my christmas

Oh by the way, embroidery.com has tons of AMAZING designs and projects to choose from, I dont know where to start. I’m like a kid in a candy store…whoo…hooo!!!!!! )

Love the project – so cute. Will be making for a baby shower coming up. The thread and covers look great!

A wonderful project from two very talented crafters! Just love this each week for inspiration and energy. Thanks, Kim & Kris, you’re the best teachers ever!

How ADORABLE is that beach cover – but the real ‘wow’ for ME was the cute little over the shoulder bag! So cute for the kids…..and ideal for grown-ups too! So enjoy your show….and the ideas and the tips – please keep em coming!
Also….I LOVE the Hemmingworth thread collection…..sure would look nice in my sewing studio!

Thanks for the intro to Embroidery.com. It’s a great resource. I wasn’t aware that Hemmingworth made stabilizers and was happy to see them available at Embroidery.com.

I left a comment on Twitter about this giveaway!

I have always loved the incredible embroidery designs at embroidery.com! Especially interested in the Asian & Celtic designs they offer!

Made one of the hooded towels yesterday, following your instructions! IT WAS SO EASY!! LOVED IT!!
I might even dust off the embroidery machine I bought years ago and give it a try–again!! THANKS!!

I love machine embroidery and love thread. I have never tried the Hemingworth brand but would love to. It looks like a great product.

Love, Love, Love the hooded towel!! I love using hooded towels for my son…..definitely have to give this one a try!!

Every child should have one of these hooded towels.

Love the hooded towels! So cute! And a great gift idea – personalized!

Hooded towels are the greatest easy and everyone needs one can’t wait to make more of them. Thanks Kay

I have wanted to make these hooded towels for a long time but for some reason was intimidated. Seeing the video was so helpful because I’m very visual. They are so easy! I will make a set tonight…love the additional washcloth tote. The idea about taping the stabilizer for towel attachment is great! Thanks so much.

Beach towel idea-very cute! Your set looks great also.

I love the hooded towels. Thanks for making this video. I went to embroidery.com and checked out the thread the colors are beautiful. I have a question though, Which direction are they wound? I have a Singer XL6000 and for the thread changer to work I need the thread to wind in a clock-wise direction. Thanks again

This is a great idea! This will be filed away for a future baby shower gift, or toddler birthday present.

awesome giveaway! thanks

Wow does that bring back memories! My Mom made one of these 32 years ago for my son when he was born. She used a whole washcloth for the hood and also added a couple of tucks at the back of the towel below the hood. She then crocheted a beautiful border all the way around. I still have it and use it for my grandchildren when they come. Using a washcloth eliminates the extra leftover half of handtowel. But adding the embroidery is a great idea and personalizing it is even better!! You both have given me some ‘up to date’ ideas on how to do this project again now for my grandchildren.
thank you !!

Love the towel! I need to make some of these for my girls this summer.

Can’t wait to make a hooded towel! Perfect for the pool. I’d also LOVE to win the thread!!!!

I love this! I made several of these for my DD when she was little. Now I have a cousin that I think needs one or two!!!

Another great tutorial……..I also appreciate the information you provided for setting up to do embroidery. THose threads are amazing and love the tops on them. I’m always looking for ways to get the dust off my collection of threads so from now on I’ll be buying those threads. Thanks!

Well, how clever is that! Gonna put my new serger and embroidery machines to work! Am thinking I might change out the little pouch a bit for grandsons… maybe without flap? We’ll see.. thank you so much for your fun, fun episodes!

I seriously *need* that thread. My machine HATES all the thread I have and consequently I have a gazillion thread breakages every time I embroidery. I guess I need to buck up and buy some new – why do I have to have a tempermental machine? Please pick me random number generator!!!

I have wanted to make these for our grandson’s, but just wanted to get “the tips” that make it easy and perfect. Thank you for making great tutorials ALWAYS great! I still went to Embroidery.com even though I don’t have an embroidery machine. It is a dream of mine to have one, but until that dream comes true I do embroidery on my sewing machine with some great techniques I learned. Hemmingworth Thread is my favorite and to have this collection in my sewing room would be another dream come true!

Thanks for another great project. I have three nieces who will love having one of these towels. The mouse is adorable too. I have never seen thread in such a well designed display! I’m going to check out Embroidery.com now. Thanks for sharing your projects with us!

Looks like a fun project and great gift idea!

Love your site and all the great ideas you share! Thanks.

OMGoodness! How Fun, Quick and Easy! These are the perfect pool side gift. Perfect for my little Froggy applique designs too.

Oh Kris, and I am so not a BIG FAN of hooping. I don’t hoop bulky items at all. I loved the tape that you showed. I didn’t know it existed so I will have to give that a try. Right now I have 5 stitches in my hand and hooping is not an option at the moment. This would be perfect!

I posted this episode on my Facebook page: Katelyn’s Kreative Stitches. Check it out!

Can wait to see next weeks episode!

Love this beach project…I am planning to make these for each of my 10 grandkids. The only tip that I would add is this: I like to start with a basting stitch to hold down the water soluable stabilizer before starting a machine embroidery on a towel. It just helps to hold it down in place. Thanks again…I really enjoyed learning about this project.

I have been making hooded bath towels for may grand nieces and nephews the past few months. But the washcloth bag is the perfect accessory. I’ll be making bunches! Thanks

I always love to try new threads. I just love fibers…lol. I hope i get a chance to sample these.

back yard pool party time . well I have no pool but I have an elevated sprinkler so we will have a
water park in the back yard- need 2 hooded towel

The dragonfly needlepoint kit on the embroidery.com site is very sweet

I love the hooded beach towel. I have been making mesh screen beach bags with either “beach babe” or “surfer dude” appliqued on them. This beach towel idea will be great with these I think, I can coordinate the trims to make a really cute gift for kids of all ages. Can’t wait to try it.

The rectangular sewing basket at embroidery.com is very cute!

Just what I was looking for to make for my 2 yr old grandson!!

I have been learning about needle felting and I liked all the beautiful colors of wool roving embroidery.com had.

I’ve always wanted to make one of these and didn’t realize how easy it is! My boys are on the swim team in our neighborhood this summer and I can’t wait to make them because I have some really cute surfing applique designs for boys! I’m so excited. The Hemingworth thread looks awesome…what a unique design to prevent tangling. I love the fact that it is bleach resistant.

My girls will love this! I really hate hooping, you have made my day!! I can’t wait to try the double sided tape, Thanks again!!

Great gift idea. Quick, easy, and almost a ’2 fer’ with the hand towel good for 2 projects. I’ll have to send this on to my VBF … she’ll love it!

OK, forwarded this on to 5 friends … hey, what if they win instead of me! LOL

I love the embroidery.com website. Have to dash back to work now. But I’m going to have some major surfing to do. I LOVE the the idea of having a cover for the thread! How cool is that!

I linked to your blog post on facebook and on twitter! I can’t help but share the joy in finding such a great idea!

My 2 kids would love hooded towels! I have seen so many for babies but none big enough for my 2. Thank you ladies!

I love the hooded towel. About a year ago I searched for a tutorial and found one but didn’t really like it. I love yours and will use it next time!!!!

I also love that double sided sticky tape. I hate hooping, too.

The perfect cover up when getting out of those chilly northern lakes.

This is fabulous – I am headed out to make this for my daughter and nephews! Excellent – on my wish list is an embroidery machine so I am hoping for one for my birthday. Thanks for the great ideas!

Love the towel..can’t wait to make one for my grandbaby. I also love the idea of the sticky tape I also hate hooping and the spray adhesives are so messy.

What an awesome project and fantastic give away!

Shared on Facebook and with sewing groups.

This is a great project for my eight year who is beginning to sew. Thanks!

love the hooded towel Idea, and sooooooo easy too.

I went to embroidery.com and yes, the embroidery tape is very affordable. I also dislike hooping. I would love to hear what other methods you use to avoid it when possible.

Wow, getting some great ideas here! keep up the good work Kim and Chris. I have been trying to do these types of towels and I’m thrilled to have a pattern to follow. Thanks!

Wow this is an awesome prize!! Thanks for the chance to win! Love the hooded towel too!

I just LOVE all the fun projects ya’ll share! I cannot wait to try this one out – embroidery on towels is my favorite – we cannot ever have enough of them around for this or that! And I always make them for gifts – easy to do for boys or girls! Thanks so much!
Jenny

Can’t wait to win that thread! PICK ME!

Love the hooded towel. Going to make several for a craft booth this summer.

What a cute idea! AND kids love their own personalized towels!

I am having trouble viewing the entire video. It stops at the point where you are clipping the threads.

Is it just me ? Can someone check on this ? Thanks, love your ideas and presentations.

I am making one of these for my kiddos! TOO cute!

Awesome episode ladies! I’m so glad to know about Hemingworth!! Thank you for sharing that site!

Woneful pisoe 9 My 4 gandkids will have the hooded beach towel to take to their home on the beach. Great gift.

You were right about Embroidery.com. They have a ton of blanks and with a new granddaughter on the way I could use some of those. Thank you for the tip.

I checked out embroidery.com. I relly liked the 6 pack Hemingworth color packs. What a great way to start a collection.

great easy idea thanks

I thought we had a chance to win thread CANDY, and got really excited! I imagined bright colours, with sweet smells as you sew….

Love the hooded towel! What a great idea to use the sticky tape! Definitely trying that!

great projects. enjoy your show very much.

I LOVED this project and how cute would those hooded towels be with some of the fun printed towels you can find now, which are great for those who don’t have embroidery machines, I am looking forward to making some of these for my kids this summer!

I went to Embroidery.com and love it! I will be ordering the double stick tape and some of the hoodies! thanks for the information and website! By the way I love Hemmingworth Thread, I have used to several times! Great Quality and Great colors!

WOW, OH, WOW – the video was so clean and concise – making the hooded beach towel is easier than I ever thought ! Am going to wip a bunch up in preparation for the upcoming memorial holiday weekend. This is the perfect project for everyone! Plan to make matching beach bags for everyone to keep suntan lotion, combs, body cream, and other beach necessities in. Even for the kids. A matching hooded beach towel and beach bag to carry their sand buckets and collection of sea shells in make them happy and feel important ! Thank’s for the great instructional video! Oh, and by changing the towel and embroidery design, this is the perfect gift for those College students for graduation! Oh, and I can keep going – with holiday or winter designs these would make the perfect gift for all those people on your list that you want to say Thank you to for all the things they have done for you without investing a great deal of money. Can’t thank you enough for the great video.

I love the hooded towels, I am planning on tweeking this project for my tween!

I sent this link to several of my friends. I know they’ll enjoy something so quick and easy to make.

Thanks so much! Super cute. Can’t wait to try!

Awesome project!!!!

Thanks so much!!! I might have to make these for my cousins!!!

Great birthday gifts for kids, plus – it is inexpendsive!!

Visited embroidery.com and I am in love with the Hemmingworth Thread. I will be buying some in the near future!!!

Loved the washcloth tote,would have never thought of it. And my granddaughter need an after bath wrap for when she visits, will be making both these projects with my granddaughter, she will love them. Excellent show.

I went to embroidery.com site and love how there thread works and there designs are cute too.
Linda E

WOW I am going to use this as my CLUBHOUSE PROJECT for JUNE. Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas.

I love these towels to bad as a grandma we have all sons and grandsons that are to big for these. As an adult who isn’t overly proud of my body I would love to see one of these made for adults. You know how it is we go out to our pools and when we get out we have only one towel with us and don’t know weather to cover up or dry our hair. I wouldn’t object to a big size hooded towel to hide in when I get out of our pool. I am going to make some of these right away for the daughters of some friends. Already have the towels ready to sew.

Oh my gosh!!!! Such cute projects! I will be making the hooded towels for my grandchildren!!! Thank you for another great episode!!!

I have shopped at Embroidery.com before and find the service and products to be excellent. I really like the section on projects. Lots of great inspiration!

I love the towels, I added peddles around the face to make a flower around the face…oh so cute.

This was the 1st that I had heard of your website. A fun video & I’m bookmarking it so that I will be sure to come back & see what you will do in the future.

I love all the cool embroidery designs, so cute! I hope I win.

I’m excited to make one for my little girl!!

Hi girls! Great episode! I have wanted to make these for my girls, and this just might be the push I needed to do it;) I will be adding hand pockets to the upper inside corners. I got this idea from a commercially bought towel that we have. I may use the other half of the hand towel to do this, just thought I’d share this, as it makes the towel nice and snuggly.

Okay, so I’m not new to embroidery.com, but I have to say, I often go there just to browse the machine embroidery designs. Well, I took your advise and looked around and found something I’ve got to get. As a hairbow designer with large fingers, I have yet to find a thimble that feels comfortable. Here’s my answer: http://www.embroidery.com/product.asp?sid={BE96C070-BA07-4A65-B53C-B4A24ABC830D}&EFID=1128&productsetid=62994&shopstop=1 Self adhesive thimbles!! Yay.

Thanks for showing us to make a fast easy gift. Great show !

Love the beach cover-up. Sorry I couldn’t watch the video(very old and slow computer) but I get the idea from the pics.

Me again. what I really want is an ultimate box so I can convert and download more formats, can only do PES right now.

Luv the hooded towel but really like the wash cloth purse and looks so simple to make thank you for sharing. Would love to have all the thread and caddy that is awesome. I do not machine embroidery but would love to start, have done a couple of things in the past but never really got into embroidering but looks like fun and luv it. Looked and the web sit and saw a few things that will be on my wish list. Thanks again DIY luv all your ideas.

Posted on my facebook. I absolutely love the towels. I have tons of little cousins that would adore this! I plan to make a couple! At the website I adore the many many colors! I make military quilts for service members and can definitely find matching colors here! and great prices too! Thank you so much!

I love the beachtowels!! I live at the beach and have three small grandchildren. They will love the towels. I also love the thread caddy. Would love to win it too!
Chris

Fab projects! We’ll be at the lake a lot this summer and hooded towels would be VERY handy!

I also just posted this link to my Facebook profile!

I just visited embroidery.com and I love it! I found my new favorite sewing site!

Bleach resistant is a great idea!

i love the towels…….what an easy, fast, and useful gift! the embroidery thread also looks amazing…i am going to head on over to embroidery.com
thanks so much for all of your great ideas……

I love all your ideas! I download the podcasts to my iTouch and watch them during my lunch hour at work.

I just went to embroidery.com to order my supplies and found some cute designs to use on my hooded towels. thanks again.

“you learn something new everyday”…thanks to DIY Dish…Thanks for teaching this “old dog new tricks.”
I will be busy making all your summer projects…

This is a great idea! I have been wanting to make some towels like this for my kids, but was hesitate because every “pattern” I found made a towel that went over the head, and I was looking for something that would wrap around. This will be great with there names on when we go to the pool! Thanks for the great ideas! Just as a reference what size towels were you using, such a range these days!

These are SO precious! Can’t wait to make a bunch of them for the grandkids and anyone else that wants one!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this!

~Blessings~

Sandi

I can’t wait to make these for all my grandchildren. Thank you!!!

Oh my gosh, that thread caddy is awesome, I think I need it.

What a perfect idea for my neighbors grandaughters!!!! I have been wanting some new ideas to learn how to use my embrodery machine better. Thank you soooo much can’t wait to get started!

I love this blog I love the idea, the pictures are viberant and faboulous, I would so make these, Thank you for this This is really cool

And I just post my inspiration on FACEBOOK!

I love this idea. I have a quilt group of girls ages 6-16 called the Seam Rippers. This will be a great project for them. Thanks for sharing.

http://twitter.com/mkjmc/status/14362476418 tweeted about this terrific giveaway

The towel wrap is cute–enjoyed your presentation. I have never known about the “sticky tape.” I too hate to hoop and use lots of the sticky stablizer, but it is hard on the needles and I think I will be switching to the double sided sticky tape that you used in the video.
I enjoy your e-mails. Keep the inspriation going!
Thanks
C. Halbgewachs

Love the beach towel…I started sewing & embroidering in January and can’t wait to do the hooded towel for my 2 & 3 year olds!

I also tweeted!!

LOVE it! Especially the tiny tote bag

Wow, this is a great idea for the summer.. I am expecting my second baby and I am going to make him some towels. Plus, I always monogram my daugthers swim towels. So , when she goes to swiming lessons she gets hers and no one else. I can make this now for her. Emboridery.com is loaded with so much stuff. I never knew they had so much stuff , I can look for days at the things I want now.. Making my wish list now..Thanks for the great idea!

This is great! I will make more than one for my 5 week old grandson. Also, I am making the beach pouch for the 7 year old grandaughter. Thank you so much!

I have made a number of hooded towels as gifts, but yours is the easiest. So much for for applying bias
binding to cover raw edges all around. Now, if I want to use bias binding, it will just be for embellishment!

Wow! Supersolve Topping, washaway backing, double-sided tape, control a twist, hoop assist! The products are amazing on Embroidery.com. When I think about how I used to embellish clothing with cross stitch designs and how labour intensive it was. Again Wow! AND what a super cute towel project! My mind is already listing off all the kids I could make it for. Thanks for a great idea.

I am thrilled with the inspiration I received from this episode. I do not have an embroidery machine but do free hand embroidery and am happy to learn about Hemingworth.
I am making a hooded towel this week for my youngest granddaughter.
Thanks.

Dixie

I love this idea! I have two grandsons that will love this.

I love the stack n store bobbin keeper and the embroidery bear is SO cute. It reminds of of the autograph dogs of long ago! ( am I showing my age?) The bear would be a perfect gift for girls to have their friends sign at those slumber or birthday parties… later she could embroider them. A wonderful keepsake…would be a lovely idea for a baby shower, too!

WOW!! What a terrific project and sooooo easy peasy. Thank you for this tutorial.

A quick, easy project that’s sure to be a hit with the kids!

I shared with a friend! Thanks again, Brandy

This show was fantastic! I love quick useful projects. I had to get out the antibacterial wipes to keep the drool off my keyboard when I saw the thread that is being given away! PICK ME, PICK ME! lol

Checked out Embroidery.com and I think I definitely need a thread catcher. They are probably VERY handy! Brandy

Love the bright orange thick towel that you used. I just paid $25 on sale at Land’s End for a much thinner hooded towel. From now on, I’ll make them myself for my grandchildren.
Thanks for sharing!

Oh my gosh i just love this towel!! I love the fact that it can be for both boys and girls – my kids will love it!! Thanks

I love the hooded towel, got one when my first child was born and used it all the time. Had not thought about that in a while and am going to try making one to use for a gift! Loved the show and thanks!

Tammy

These are perfect bday gifts!!! Can’t wait to make some!!!

I blogged about your giveaway with the video too! Suzie

This is one of the neatest thread holders I’ve ever seen!

I have always wanted to know how to make those adorable hooded towels and now I can!! Thank you for your always entertaining webisodes. I was thinking for those that don’t have embroidery machines that “blinging” the towel would be a great alternative. What girl doesn’t like sparkle??

Thanks so much for this opportunity! The thread looks beautiful!!

I looked around on their website and found some neat stuff, but I am still in love with the double sided tape you used on the episode! NEED IT! =D

I love the hooded towel idea. I can’t wait to make one for my grand daughters.

I can’t wait to make these for my daughter and her friends.

Thanks for the wonderful ideas and your show! I plan on making quite a few of these hooded towels ! I am going to the Hemingworth right now to make out my list! I just started embroidering and love it!

This was the first time a had been to embroidery.com. I found a number of items I want to purchase. There were several projects I found interesting and am hoping to try.

Thanks for the great ideas and concise instructions! Great tips, too!

AMAZING ideas! Thanks for all the tips & freebies!

Another amazing gift give away! Thanks for reminding me how to make these!

Loved the show girlfriends!! I bought a towel for Kati and I am making her a flamingo towel for her school swim trip Everyone will be jealous.

Went back to Embroidery.com and loved the EClasses! Especially the classes that the two of you have taught. You inspire me

Loved the hooded towel and so glad to hear about the tape for machine emb, must have. thanks, Joan

I made towels similar to this for my childern who are now in High School and still want to use them!

How cute is this. I have 7 grandchildren – ages 7, 5, and all the rest under 4. I’ve embroidered their names on bath towels and wanted to make them hooded towels but wasn’t quite sure how to do that. Now I know. Thanks so much.

Can’t wait to make these for my 3 grandaughters

I really am enjoying watching your video teaching classes. I look forward to the new one every week. I have actually been making these towels using a washcloth for the hood as baby gifts for about 8 years. This towel can be used for babies up to 4 and 5 years old, and can also be personalized and embroidered. Thank you for a new suggestion on making towels. Can’t wait to try some of the new products you showed!

What a fun video… I would love to make those for my grandchildren.

I love the website! They have such cute things there. I love that they have different embroidery designs that you don’t see everywhere else. I would love to win the thread caddy!! I can’t wait to make the towel for my grandson. I think he will really like that. I see a couple of them in his near future.

Hi I’ve just watched your video on making hooded towels and bags from a flannel. What great ideas and made to look so simple – hopefully I can re-create them too as my son and daughter would love these for the beach this Summer. Many thanks and I look forward to next weeks newsletter.

I am so glad you gave these instructions, I have been wanting to make some hooded towels but had never tried it. I am going to go buy some towels and get started. They are adorable and so is the little pouch. I know some kids who are going to love these. Thanks again I love your site.

Thank you for the easy instructions for the hooded towel. I can’t wait to try it!

I just visited Embroidery.com and love the Stipple! Seashells project pack with the 2 quilt projects & embroidery designs! Thanks also for reminding me of this site – I haven’t visited it in a long time!

My neice and nephews will love those towels!! I can’t wait to get started!! Thanks

Y’all have so many wonderful ideas. Thank you so much for the DIY Dish. I have made many hooded towels, but never thought about using them for the beach!

They have everything there! I really could use some more organizational boxes or bins and I also have my eye on a new pair of good scissors.

Oh so cute!! My grandchildren would love these!! I am going to run to the store right now!!

these will be cute towels for my kids for the summer and even a few friends for gifts!! Time to go to the store for some towels!!

I am new to this site. Believe me it will be a regular thing from now on.

I am so impressed.

Have a great day.

Thank you,

Debbie

The towels are great. And the caddy would be a great addition to my craft room.

Just love your shows and look forward to them each week. I am going to make some hooded towels for the grandchildren to use at the pool. I can get over sized bath towels from Costco and a hand towel to use for hooded part for the 12 year old big guy.

Hi girls, the hooded beach towel and little tote is so adorable. I am going shopping today and get a couple of them made for my two grandaughters. I just got an embroidery machine, so I am a greenhorn at it for now. I can’t imagine how great it would be to win such a generous give-a-way as the Hemingworh Embroidery thread. Thanks for all your great ideas and keep them coming. Mary

NO, NO, NO! Don’t throw away the leftover soluble overlayment. The pieces are great for small projects, little areas AND even put in a bottle with water and dissolved to spray on articles. Don’t throw things away!
