My creative space



I am joining in with Thursday's My Creative Space at Kootoyoo.

Clockwise from bottom left:
  • Faces from Pippijoe's delightful Kiddy Up print

  • Appliqued towels

  • Twill tape

  • Avery printable transfers

I am midway through making a set of hand towels for Argy's kindergaten.

Each little towel is receiving an appliqued face and a hanging loop bearing the kindergarten name. I'm using the Avery paper to create iron-on transfers to apply the name to the twill tape.

Mind you, I am not entirely convinced of the necessity for all the labelling. Are we stopping towel theft? Tell me - who would knowing choose to use a preschooler's hand towel in their bathroom? Actually, now I think about it, maybe its a warning.

Thank you very much Kirsty for hosting My Creative Space. Its great fun seeing what everyone is doing. To see who else is showing their creative space (or to join in), head over here.

    They are too cute Liesl. It would be easy to not make them cute because they are just handtowels for Kinder but the kids will love them. And you made me laugh... I agree that the tags are a warning!

    Don't make them too cute Liesl or they WILL get stolen.

    They are gorgeous. I have to admit if thetowels were so cute at my child's kinder her's might go missing at the end of the year.

    Sheesh, I've tried to comment twice now and it hasn't worked... but if it has and it looks like I'm stalking you, then please be flattered rather than terrified. Just wanted to comment on what a great use you've found for the pippijoe. And what a neat cutter-outerer you are!!!
