Milo's Birthday presents

Earlier in the year - in March - I made a hooded towel and reading pillow for Luka.

Now it's Milo's turn to have a birthday and of course he needs a hooded towel and reading pillow - this time featuring Thomas the Tank Engine.

I needed a few conversations with my daughter to remind me of bits about the towel construction - so this time I have made a lot more notes...I am sure there will be more hooded towels to make.

Milo opened his presents today - I think he was far more interested in the remote control train and other toys that we gave him....LOL...all good - he is just a kid after all!

Luka's Birthday Presents

DD1 suggested a new book pillow for Luka for his birthday - and a new hooded towel.  His current love is Spiderman (aka Spidey).

I got some Spiderman fabric from Spotlight - and some plain red & a blue blender and made this:

Then I needed to tackle the hooded towel.  I don't have one here to work from, so found a You Tube and some written instructions, combined the two and made this:

The You Tube I watched included some fabric binding which would have made it very "Spiderman-ish", but I was concerned that over time the fabric would wear away, so I decided on appliquing some of the images and Luka's name.

We watched Luka opening his presents...after checking out the towel he placed in on the table and rested his head on it "very soft" he said.

Seems he was happy with his pillow, towel, book and light we sent him.
Happy Birthday Luka!
