rub-a-dub & scrub-a-dub

Introducing my rub-a-dubs & scrub-a-dubs.

(toddler/kid sized hooded towels and matching washcloths)

rub-a-dubs: one bath sized towel, half of a hand towel & fabric to cover the back side of the hood if so desired. I liked personalizing the towel by added the fabric to the hood. First I cut the hand towel in half, then sewed the patterned material to the back of the half-of-hand-towel. Next I centered the half-of-hand-towel on a long edge of the bath towel. Sewed together. Last I folded the half-of-hand towel, right sides in, and sewed the unfinished edge to form the hood.

My super star modeling my first rub-a-dub. scrub-a-dub: baby washcloth, flannel cut to size of washcloth, ribbon, cutout from matching material. First I used wonder under (a heat n' seal) on the back of the patterned material. Cut out my desired cutout. Ironed the cutout onto the flannel fabric. Stitched around the edges of the cutout. With right sides facing each other (I put a cloth ribbon in the corner in this step) , sew the washcloth and flannel together, leaving a few inches to turn right side out. After I turned it right side out I stitched up the opening. And then just put a finishing stitch around the cloth to form an edge.

Fish rub-a-dub for my nephew.

Matching scrub-a-dub. Made from a regular washcloth, not a baby one. A practical birthday gift for a 3-year girl. So yeah, I turned Lucia into the "who invited that kid!?" kid at the party!
