This morning while the little one was sleeping I cut out all of the shapes for these penguins.
Then while he is napping, I put them together on a pressing sheet.
I do like my pressing sheet and have found that Heat N Bond works better than Steam a Seam when using the pressing sheet. You might feel differently.
Here they are all ready to stitch up.
I just love making these towels (go figure). I showed you my stash of towels at one time. Now I have a hankering to make some...a bunch.... ok.... a lot more than a bunch..
On my blog post yesterday I was asked:
Did you use a stabilizer on the back when you blanket stitched? Appears your towels were made from different fabrics. Very cute by the way. Love me some batiks!
No, I do not use stabilizer and here are some towels I have had for years....I mean like five or more years and they have been washed a zillion times (okay so I am exaggerating but you get my drift).
Never found a need to use stabilizer except with machine embroidery.
This pink one was made without any kind of fusible, just glue.
I use any type of towel available and that is on sale. Yesterday I did have one that was more nylon than anything else and I didn't like it but hey...it was there, was the color I wanted so I went with it.
Happy Toweling!!!
