An Easy Hostess Gift


Not nearly enough for everything the girls did for the baby shower last weekend, but a little something . . .

I started with a plain kitchen towel.

I used some stencils I had to trace each letter on iron-on transfer paper. It's paper on one side and a bit sticky on the other. (If you're unsure about this, ask somebody at the fabric store. They will know exactly what it is!) Remember to trace on the non sticky side.


Iron (sticky side down) to your fabric.


This makes cutting out on the lines very easy!
The opposite side (or paper side) should be able to peal away.
Once you peal it away, it will also be a bit sticky.
Put the sticky side down on your towel and iron it on.


Once ironed, sew a quick stitch around the entire letter.


Then add any trim or detail you wish at the bottom.



They certainly aren't perfect . . .
but hopefully the girls aren't looking too closely!

They are fabulous! Thank you again for the sweet gift! I used that fusible webbing stuff to make my 100th day of school shirt. I couldn't figure out the applique stitch but I like how you just did a single stich. I'll have to go back and do that on my shirt!
