I have twin nieces who are 9 months older than my daughter and just turned 3. I like to sew for them and my sister usually has a lot of requests for me. She sent me some fabric she had to use for applique.
I ended up making shirts with a zebra print she sent. They have a peace sign outlined with hot pink. This was a request from my sister, who is much trendier than I am.
They stitched out great and I really liked the detail of the running stitch on top of the satin stitch.
I also made some hooded towels, using the tutorial from
Cole's Corner and Creations.

My cheesy model |
They were big, super soft towels I got at Target a few weeks ago. The tag claims they are fast drying. I didn't run any timed tests to check this claim, but they did leave a TON of fuzz in the dryer when I pre-washed/dried them. I really like them though (did I mention they are super soft?) and they had a really good variety of colors.

I stink at taking straight photos... |
The duck is a re-sized 4x4 design from
Designs by Juju, made using fabric that matches the curtain in the girls' bathroom. The names are stitched in the Whoa Nelly font from
8 Claws and a Paw.
The towels were a really fun project and quick to sew--the embroidery took up most of the time. I plan on making more soon, they are rather addicting.
These are sooooo cute, way better than I pictured!
