I made 15 different towel robes for xmas presents about 7 years ago and everyone still talks about them. I even got a bit creative and created tops and bottoms for my more sexy friends. I remembered this idea from a robe my cousin made when I was in college. Love it and so easy and allow for much creativity.
diane stewart I love these too, especially for when I shower at the gym. They do make great gifts. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
+Annette Fodge Great idea Annette !! I will try that on the next one I make :) Thanks for the idea and thank you for watching ! Happy New Year ! HUGS :)
Hi!! Been looking for you!! Missed you!! Glad i found you again... i have made your plate pot holders best!! Made as gufts years ago. They are loved thanks Gail
Thank you so much! Just what I was looking for. I am having a spa party for my 12 year old and making each of the guests one of these with their names embroidered on it. As a beginning sewer I really needed this step by step with all the little tricks and what to do/not to do's! Wish me luck!!! I have 3 days to get 9 of them done! #shouldhavestartedearlier
Good Luck Amanda !! I know you'll do great and the girls will love them. I'm so happy you found my video helpful.....Thanks for watching and I hope you're party turns out TERRIFIC !! HUGS :)
+HJS Thank you !! I"m so glad you liked this project and that you're going to make some ! Great idea for kids after bath time and also for at the pool. Thank again and I hope you had a FABULOUS day in the Netherlands !! HUGS :)
O Amy - I Love you all the time with your creativity endeavors - but your little Lady sleeping really won my heart Big-time! She is so precious! I could not see her little face, but I am betting she is a pug? Then this project is sooo appreciated! I can actually use this one for all of those Christmas gifts coming up. I have just been STUCK with No Ideas and look what you do- Save the day! Thank you So Very Much! You are such a doll!
Thank you so much !! You are such a sweetie :) Yes, my little girl is a Pug (Khloe is her name). I'm so happy you like this project....it really is a great gift for any occasion (children, men, and women). Thanks again and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS :)
I've been recovering from the flu, or something deep in my chest, that is asthmatic like yuk,, and have had your various playlists on my tablet, making my way through them.. Really enjoying them. I've purchased two of these types of bath towel robes and always thought they would be fairly easy to make... This step by step is great.. I keep thinking of Christmas gifts! Personalize for a husband, wife and kids, in various sizes. And also those throw cardigan / stadium blankets... Those could be personalized, as well, for moms and grandma's who go to their children's games.. Really enjoying.. Thanks for the videos and love your dog's :-)
Thanks Kimmy !! I hope you are feeling better...not fun spending a weekend sick in bed :( I'm glad that my videos are helping you pass the time while you are recuperating . Sending you special HUGS and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Take care !!!
+Tiffany Lynne ll Thanks Tiffany ! I'm glad this video was helpful. I've made several of these to use when I'm at the gym in the locker room and they work great. Thanks again and I hope you are having a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
Ok, so, I've been watching your videos all week long and this is the first project I decided to actually attempt! And I have made 4 of them!!! The women I have given to hand just adored them!!! I'm going to hand them out as Christmas gifts this year I think! Thank you for all your tips and ways to avoid any hang ups! I really appreciate your videos! Thank you so much!!!
Haven't seen you for some time. Can't imagine why! You're looking greater than ever. I will be making this one for my daughter. How are you enjoying your newish home????
Brilliant idea! You are such a beautiful lady, inside and out. Clearly pink is your signature color. I am infused with inspiration for myself and my friends. I have been looking for something to give away that is easy, budget friendly, useful and personalized. Thank you SO MUCH for your elegant video gift!
lucky family, they are going to be great gifts. it looked like fun. take care as well and hope you have a wonderful weekend too. big hugs back as always. : )
I think that turned out soooooo cute! I was thinking it'd be fun to take a huge beach towel and then it would be to the ankle? That could be something you might even be able to lounge around in? So cute!!! I'm now addicted to your videos! LOL
YEAH!! I'm so happy you are having fun making these. I use mine all the time. Thanks for letting me know that you made them....love hearing that. Thanks again and I hope you are having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
Thanks, I had an idea of how to make one of these but decided to watch a video, just in case and glad I did, because I would have never thought of adding embellishments. I actually own a store bought one, got it for free since Kohls had it on clearance for $5 and I had a coupon, but the velcro was so flat that it will fall right off, so going to make myself a nicer one. I also was thinking of adding one to the gift baskets I made for Xmas including bath time scrubs and soaps. Thanks again, I love how you thoroughly explain each step.
They do make great gifts :) If you have a problem with the velcro at all, just ad a couple "hook and eye " closures on it for extra security. Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays !! HUGS :)
Love this idea! I am totally going to make one of these for my little girl and one for my 15 yr. old son. Perfect project for me since I am a beginner sewer! Thanks for the vid!
This tutorial is so well explained and succinct- It saved me from making some careless mistakes! I was trying to problem solve just how I wanted to do a "spa Wrap" as birthday gifts, & I was getting too complicated and making it much harder than it had to be...You made it all so simple and it was exactly what I wanted to do! Thank you! PS: I say in a positive way, that you should add "Spa Towel Wrap" to your title -- I almost didn't find you -- and what a shame that would have been!
+Elizabeth Vallely Thank yo Elizabeth ! I'm so glad you liked this project. They are so easy to make and yes they are great gifts for any person on your shopping list :) Thanks for watching and Happy New Year ! HUGS :)
+Rosina Hauiti I love making these....I use mine all the time. I'm so glad you enjoyed the project. Thanks for watching and I hope you're having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
I use my towel robe everyday and just love making them. I'm so glad you're going to do this project :) Thank you for watching and I hope you're weekend is going WONDERFUL !!! HUGS to you too :)
Loved, loved, loved it.....thank you for sharing this tutorial, and loved the idea of the wash cloth pocket and the eylet and Velcro.....I love your upbeat personality. you are a total joy and love your work. keep it up.
Just what I was looking for. Off on hols to Menorca in a couple of weeks. This will be excellent for changing on poolside. I hate doing that trick of peeling off a wet costume with one hand whilst trying to keep the towel from travelling south with the other! Thank you very much. x
Thank you Katharine !! I'm so happy this tutorial was useful to you and I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL trip :) Take care, safe travels, and I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! HUGS :)
Kittyhammertoe100 Yeah :) I'm so happy you're going to make one. I use mine all the time...love them. Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying your day! HUGS :)
You are awesome! Love your tutorials. They are extremely easy to follow and you do not rush the process as you show us the important steps. I have subscribed to your page and look forward to learning more. Thank you for taking the time to share your so easy ways of doing things. Super leader and mentor :)
Thank you Jess ! I'm so happy you going to do this project and what a fun gift for you to make for your party guests :) Take care and I hope you had a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
super cute idea. wish my sewing machine worked, would be making some of these. your hair looks great. I like it anyway. Thank you for sharing. hugs : )
I searched YT for how to add a button and elastic loop so I can secure my towel instead of the old “wrap over and tuck in” method that more often than not unravels itself 🤭. I have a sewing machine but really don’t do much more than straight stitching for mending. I honestly don’t know the ins and outs of sewing and usually just wing it. Don’t know what a walking foot is and didn’t know there was such thing as a denim needle 😂. I found your video and found it very easy to follow so I may try it. I really wanted to try something quick and easy like literally just sewing on a button and an elastic loop on the other end. Wondering what you would suggest is the best way to do this. Thank you!
thank you!! I'm excited to try this. I just bought a beach towel with a nice pattern and I will try to make a wrap out of it. It's super long so I will have to trim the length.. if I am feeling extra ambitious I may make a matching pocket with the left-over towel :)
Thank you !! I'm so happy you liked this tutorial. These towel robes are easy gifts to make for any occasion. Take care and I hope you're having a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS :)
I’d must verify with you here. Which is not something I often do! I take pleasure in watching a post that will make individuals think. Also, thanks for permitting me to comment!
Love you video! You are fantastic! Thank you so much for such detailed explanation! You really inspired me to make couple of those for my daughters! ^)
Thank you Daria !!! That is so nice of you to say !!! I'm glad you enjoyed the project and your daughters are going to love them !!! Thanks again for watching and I hope you are enjoying your day! HUGS :)
Thanks Lina! This was a fun project. I was excited about the idea as soon as Susie suggested it on my FB page. Thanks for watching and have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
Thank you!!! I'm am SOOOO HAPPY you did this project ! I'm giving them out as Christmas gifts as well. I'm doing some with pink towels and Hello Kitty embroidered patches on them and a few other color combinations. I'm trying to match them to their bathroom colors so that they look nice hanging in their bathrooms when they are not using them. Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment! I really appreciate it :) Take care and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
- I opened up a wire hanger - and straighten it out - made a eye/hook on one end - hook the large safety pin in the eye/hook to pull the elastic through the channel -- less of a struggle :)
Thanks Dena! This was so easy and I'm going to make these for my family for the holidays this year. I had a lot of fun doing this project. Take care...have a GREAT weekend and Big Hugs as usual ;)
Amy thanks for responding. Martha Pullen's program is different. It has about 20 projects that you can make and has the patterns. The patterns are yours to use to instruct with if you pass the course. You receive a licensure certificate from her. The clothing patterns are mult. Sizes so you can adj from 4-3xx, home decor and totes etc.. These are the online courses. She also has a week course in Huntsville Alabama which is a lot more expensive than the online course. It is a lot of fun from what I have heard.
Oh, thank you thank you thank you !!! I'm definitely going to check it out. I've done some Craftsy classes also (some were good and some not so good). Thanks for the information !! HUGS :)
I LOVE this! I actually searched so that I could make these and your video is so perfect! I want to make them as gifts as well...I am fortunate a friend has an embroidery machine for an extra awesome touch of personalization!! However I was wondering if you know how I can "guestamate" size? For example... if I know someones bust is 34B...how would I convert that to the elastic and towel? Or if I'm making it for a 10 year old petite child...I plant on making a few mommy/daughter matching sets :) Thank you so much for your very easy to follow videos!!
Like you I searched for this also and only 2 people and both are good showings with different detail explanations and I learned from both. By the way your skills and smile out shine your hair so no worries. My issue is for the man with the 40 inch waist. I was thinking needed to go 55" because he has a gut and I want it to fit. I am also using felt material is this okay by your standards any suggestions both of you, lol, thanks! The woman has size 40 bra soooooo, oh thanks!
Thank you! I'm so happy you liked this tutorial. I'm making them as holiday gifts as well. I'm thinking a pink towel with a Hello Kitty patch instead of my initials for my next one :) Thanks again and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
My towels measure 26 x 50 . Next time I make them, I will use the bigger ones because this size fits just right, but when I walk my leg with show a little where the overlap of materials is not generous enough. Glad you like this tutorial :) Thanks and congratulations with your wedding !!! How exciting :) Take care and I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
+Darlene Lathrop Yes, I top stitched right through it because there is enough stretch with the rest of the band that it doesn't impact how it works. I've never broken a stitch on mine yet. If you are uncomfortable with a straight top stitch, you can switch over to a zig zag right when you get to the elastic, but I didn't do that. The stretch is happening in the opposite direction of how you are stitching. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend! HUGS :)
+Nandita Shettigar Its the Viking Emerald with the embroidery unit (I have the embroidery piece not attached right now). Glad you liked this project, they make great gifts :) Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT evening ! HUGS :)
Love your ideas and enjoy your videos. Watched your clog you emailed me. You said you were taking a masters program in sewing. I would love to know what program you are taking. I am taking program specifics from Martha Pullen which I love and will be finishing up a course next month. Love the online programs.
Thanks Jackie ! I purchased a program through e-careers.com. I'm a little disappointed in it so far....I want to learn more about "alterations" and not so much about sewing from a pattern. I will have to check out Martha Pullen next :) Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying your weekend ! HUGS :)
Hi Fashiontoppings! Thank for your video! I am planning on making these for my bridesmaids but I need to purchase a sewing machine first. Can you provide the make and model of your machine? Thanks!
I've washed mine every week and its been almost 3 years since I did this video and the monogram is still attached and not coming up at all so far. If you are nervous about the iron on, you can put a couple tact stitches in a couple places surrounding the monogram. I haven't had any problem with mine. The only issue I have is remembering to connect the velcro with each other before putting it in the wash because the velcro sticks to everything in the washer, so make sure the put the velcro connections together before washing. Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
Thanks!! I hope you give this project a try because it was so easy and I love how it turned out. I saw on the internet that they charge $29 and up for these things...I made mine from stuff I already had in the house. Take care and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
Thank you Sho Barr ! I really appreciate it :) This is so easy to make and a great gift for any occasion. I hope you're having a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
Barbara Venturelli I did because it was an after thought , but haven't had any problems with it even though I sewn over the elastic. If you don't want to sew over it, you can sew the ribbon on 1st before you fold the top over to make the channel. I make these up in advance and then decorate them later when I find the ribbon or notion that I like. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT 4th of July ! HUGS :)
I BOUGHT THE SAME DRESSFORM BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONE YOU HAD BUT MINE IS GREY. I AM SO INSPIRED BUY YOUR STUFF AND I MEAN A LOT OF IT SO I SAY STUFF. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY DRESSFDORM IT IS MISSING THE FEET. ANY IDEA HOW TO REPLACE THEM? I GOT MINE THROUGH EBAY BUT IF I HAD GOT IT FROM SINGER THEY MIGHT HELP ME BUT ...CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHT YOU THINK MINE IS A PLUS SIZE. I LOVE IT AND HER NAME IS ISABELLE,LOL REALLY!
Can you send a picture of what you have (as far as your dressform) so that I can see what you are missing and then I can give you some suggestions. You can send them to my facebook page or email me at fashiontoppings (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm so happy you have taken up sewing and refashioning...it so exciting :) You will love it and its so relaxing to do. Thanks again for watching and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS:)
Yes I can and I will before I forget then remember late that you have already responded and are waiting on me, lol. I did not mean to get the plus size but I have her now and I am still learning what all she can do! I have not discovered you on fb yet just youtube. Thanks for taking time to reply.
Thanks sweetie!! I should have waited until it dried from the rain, but was excited to get this project started :) Thanks for watching and subscribing...I really appreciate it :) I hope you have a GREAT weekend..Big HUGS :)
You could do that, but make sure you place the velcro in a few different spots because your bust line is much smaller than the waist line when you're pregnant. Thanks for watching . HUGS :)
YEAH...I'm so happy you're going to make these for gifts!!! Never thought about using hand towels for little kiddos...great idea ! Take care, thanks for watching and I hope you had a FANTASTIC day! HUGS :)
I'm so happy you're going to do this project. Send pictures to my FB page if you want...would love to see how you do yours. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
At least this way you wouldn't have to worry about the towel coming undone...this one will stay in place. I love to wear these when I'm doing my makeup after I get out of the shower. Never fails...if I get dressed and then do my makeup I always get eye shadow dust on my clothes. I really hope you try this project :) I'm planning on making this as gifts for friends and family. Thanks for watching and I hope you're having a FANTASTIC weekend! HUGS :)
when u say "drop your needle" what do u mean? I have to raise mine in order to turn material. "as far as i know". Thanks. Btw yor a really good teacher. PS: can u make something that's really cool for dudes? I'm a guy and just started sewing about a month ago. I thought it was girly but it's cool as crap. I'm thinking of a little side business b/c of it. Most all videos are for women and I'd like to make something seriously awesome and appealing for guys that is maybe simple yet effective and looks really awesome. ty: jase **Love the Dog!! I have a little girl beagle that does the EXACT same thing. EVERYWHERE i go she has to be near me. #Awesomeness
+Jase C Thanks Jase !! When I say "drop the needle", its because several computerized sewing machines like mine have the option for the needle to always be in the down position (in the fabric...not off the fabric) when you stop sewing. By doing this, the fabric can't move around on you when you stop or pause during sewing. I hope that makes sense. Sewing is a fantastic hobby and business opportunity for anyone (male or female) so I'm really excited that you are learning and enjoying it. I won't be sewing again until Spring. We are building a house and all my equipment is in storage until the house is finished. As far as fashion for men, have you checked out KenAndrewDaily 's youtube channel. He does men's sewing tutorials and he's very creative too. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
fashiontoppings UGHH!!! Every single time i find someone that I actually can learn from (and lots are terrible teachers on here let me tell u)... They stop sewing for a while. :*( I have not checked his channel out but will now. I'd love to teach others some day as well. I simply love doing that. Gosh i wish someone around here sewed for i'd pay them to learn personally . Apparently I'm the ONLY person in my area. I think all the sewing folk work at Handcock. lol
No, because he is really picky about his clothes and when it comes to dress shirts and stuff...he has them done by Men's Warehouse so the arms and neck fit correctly. My kids are the same way, very picky...so I'm the only lucky thrifter in the house :) I hope you have a GREAT weekend!! Big HUGS :)
I made 15 different towel robes for xmas presents about 7 years ago and everyone still talks about them. I even got a bit creative and created tops and bottoms for my more sexy friends. I remembered this idea from a robe my cousin made when I was in college. Love it and so easy and allow for much creativity.
diane stewart I love these too, especially for when I shower at the gym. They do make great gifts. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT day! HUGS :)
I love using the walking foot for thicker projects. This is an ideal project for the walking foot because of the thickness
I think I know what my daughter in laws will be getting this Christmas.... and how adorable would it be to use hand towels for my little nieces!
This would be a great Christmas gift.
I add a wash cloth at an angle for a pocket LOVE IT!!!!!
+Annette Fodge Great idea Annette !! I will try that on the next one I make :) Thanks for the idea and thank you for watching ! Happy New Year ! HUGS :)

i like the way she made it out of a towel
Your hair always looks good. Like the tutorial!
Great job! Going to try to make one. Do you have a tutorial for the dog sweater you mention on this video?
I’d must verify with you here. Which is not something I often do! I take pleasure in watching a post that will make individuals think. Also, thanks for permitting me to comment!
Love you video! You are fantastic! Thank you so much for such detailed explanation!
You really inspired me to make couple of those for my daughters! ^)

and your nails look so pretty.
Thank you! I love how it turned out and I'm going to make them as holiday gifts this year :) Take care and I hope you have a GREAT weekend ! HUGS :)
Super madam and easy
Thank you madam
Good idea! thanks..
Thank you!!! I'm am SOOOO HAPPY you did this project ! I'm giving them out as Christmas gifts as well. I'm doing some with pink towels and Hello Kitty embroidered patches on them and a few other color combinations. I'm trying to match them to their bathroom colors so that they look nice hanging in their bathrooms when they are not using them. Thanks so much for leaving such a nice comment! I really appreciate it :) Take care and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
- I opened up a wire hanger - and straighten it out - made a eye/hook on one end - hook the large safety pin in the eye/hook to pull the elastic through the channel -- less of a struggle :)
Thanks Dena! This was so easy and I'm going to make these for my family for the holidays this year. I had a lot of fun doing this project. Take care...have a GREAT weekend and Big Hugs as usual ;)
thank you for your info I appreciate your honesty
Amy thanks for responding. Martha Pullen's program is different. It has about 20 projects that you can make and has the patterns. The patterns are yours to use to instruct with if you pass the course. You receive a licensure certificate from her. The clothing patterns are mult. Sizes so you can adj from 4-3xx, home decor and totes etc.. These are the online courses. She also has a week course in Huntsville Alabama which is a lot more expensive than the online course. It is a lot of fun from what I have heard.
Oh, thank you thank you thank you !!! I'm definitely going to check it out. I've done some Craftsy classes also (some were good and some not so good). Thanks for the information !! HUGS :)
I LOVE this! I actually searched so that I could make these and your video is so perfect! I want to make them as gifts as well...I am fortunate a friend has an embroidery machine for an extra awesome touch of personalization!! However I was wondering if you know how I can "guestamate" size? For example... if I know someones bust is 34B...how would I convert that to the elastic and towel? Or if I'm making it for a 10 year old petite child...I plant on making a few mommy/daughter matching sets :) Thank you so much for your very easy to follow videos!!
Like you I searched for this also and only 2 people and both are good showings with different detail explanations and I learned from both. By the way your skills and smile out shine your hair so no worries. My issue is for the man with the 40 inch waist. I was thinking needed to go 55" because he has a gut and I want it to fit. I am also using felt material is this okay by your standards any suggestions both of you, lol, thanks! The woman has size 40 bra soooooo, oh thanks!
Love ur videos so much thanks and if u can make a kaasen candle
Thank you Mikayla !! I'm not sure what a kaasen candle is ? Sorry :)
Thanks for watching and I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! HUGS :)
Thank you! I'm so happy you liked this tutorial. I'm making them as holiday gifts as well. I'm thinking a pink towel with a Hello Kitty patch instead of my initials for my next one :) Thanks again and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
thanks, great project...
I love this idea and plan to make them for my wedding party. My question is what length towel are you using. I have 52" and 60" (ish) at the stores.
My towels measure 26 x 50 . Next time I make them, I will use the bigger ones because this size fits just right, but when I walk my leg with show a little where the overlap of materials is not generous enough. Glad you like this tutorial :) Thanks and congratulations with your wedding !!! How exciting :) Take care and I hope you have a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
When top stitching the ribbon on, do you top stitch through the elastic? if so, what does that do to the stretch?
+Darlene Lathrop Yes, I top stitched right through it because there is enough stretch with the rest of the band that it doesn't impact how it works. I've never broken a stitch on mine yet. If you are uncomfortable with a straight top stitch, you can switch over to a zig zag right when you get to the elastic, but I didn't do that. The stretch is happening in the opposite direction of how you are stitching. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend! HUGS :)
Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing!!!
Your welcome :) Take care and I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! HUGS :)
What is the brand n the model of sewing machine you used in the video? Liked the video, will surely try.
+Nandita Shettigar Its the Viking Emerald with the embroidery unit (I have the embroidery piece not attached right now). Glad you liked this project, they make great gifts :) Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT evening ! HUGS :)
Молодец, я, уже сшила, как хорошо
Your Welcome Amy! Happy Blessed New Year to You and Family! Hugs Liz...
Love your ideas and enjoy your videos. Watched your clog you emailed me. You said you were taking a masters program in sewing. I would love to know what program you are taking. I am taking program specifics from Martha Pullen which I love and will be finishing up a course next month. Love the online programs.
Thanks Jackie ! I purchased a program through e-careers.com. I'm a little disappointed in it so far....I want to learn more about "alterations" and not so much about sewing from a pattern. I will have to check out Martha Pullen next :) Thanks for watching and I hope you are enjoying your weekend ! HUGS :)
Hi Fashiontoppings! Thank for your video! I am planning on making these for my bridesmaids but I need to purchase a sewing machine first. Can you provide the make and model of your machine? Thanks!
when you wash the robe ...does the monograms come off?? they are only ironed on
I've washed mine every week and its been almost 3 years since I did this video and the monogram is still attached and not coming up at all so far. If you are nervous about the iron on, you can put a couple tact stitches in a couple places surrounding the monogram. I haven't had any problem with mine. The only issue I have is remembering to connect the velcro with each other before putting it in the wash because the velcro sticks to everything in the washer, so make sure the put the velcro connections together before washing. Thanks for watching and I hope you are having a GREAT day! HUGS :)
great!! thqnks:)
really nice job and tut. your hair is becoming straight. you look good.
Thanks!! I hope you give this project a try because it was so easy and I love how it turned out. I saw on the internet that they charge $29 and up for these things...I made mine from stuff I already had in the house. Take care and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
LOVE this!!! P.S Your hair looks just fine!! ; )
Thank you Sho Barr ! I really appreciate it :) This is so easy to make and a great gift for any occasion. I hope you're having a FABULOUS weekend! HUGS :)
do you know how to make a regular bath robe out of towels
When you attach the ribbon you do not sew over the elastic, do you?
Barbara Venturelli I did because it was an after thought , but haven't had any problems with it even though I sewn over the elastic. If you don't want to sew over it, you can sew the ribbon on 1st before you fold the top over to make the channel. I make these up in advance and then decorate them later when I find the ribbon or notion that I like. Thanks for watching and I hope you had a GREAT 4th of July ! HUGS :)
Love!! :)
I BOUGHT THE SAME DRESSFORM BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONE YOU HAD BUT MINE IS GREY. I AM SO INSPIRED BUY YOUR STUFF AND I MEAN A LOT OF IT SO I SAY STUFF. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY DRESSFDORM IT IS MISSING THE FEET. ANY IDEA HOW TO REPLACE THEM? I GOT MINE THROUGH EBAY BUT IF I HAD GOT IT FROM SINGER THEY MIGHT HELP ME BUT ...CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHT YOU THINK MINE IS A PLUS SIZE. I LOVE IT AND HER NAME IS ISABELLE,LOL REALLY!
Can you send a picture of what you have (as far as your dressform) so that I can see what you are missing and then I can give you some suggestions. You can send them to my facebook page or email me at fashiontoppings (at) gmail (dot) com. I'm so happy you have taken up sewing and refashioning...it so exciting :) You will love it and its so relaxing to do. Thanks again for watching and I hope you had a BEAUTIFUL day! HUGS:)
Yes I can and I will before I forget then remember late that you have already responded and are waiting on me, lol. I did not mean to get the plus size but I have her now and I am still learning what all she can do! I have not discovered you on fb yet just youtube. Thanks for taking time to reply.
Thanks sweetie!! I should have waited until it dried from the rain, but was excited to get this project started :) Thanks for watching and subscribing...I really appreciate it :) I hope you have a GREAT weekend..Big HUGS :)
What would you suggest for a pregnant woman? Should I sew two towels together?
You could do that, but make sure you place the velcro in a few different spots because your bust line is much smaller than the waist line when you're pregnant. Thanks for watching . HUGS :)
Didn't like the elastic end to end. I left both ends elastic free about 8 inches each side. Sewed velcro there instead front lays flat.
YEAH...I'm so happy you're going to make these for gifts!!! Never thought about using hand towels for little kiddos...great idea ! Take care, thanks for watching and I hope you had a FANTASTIC day! HUGS :)
What if you don't know there exact chest size.
I'm so happy you're going to do this project. Send pictures to my FB page if you want...would love to see how you do yours. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a GREAT weekend! HUGS :)
At least this way you wouldn't have to worry about the towel coming undone...this one will stay in place. I love to wear these when I'm doing my makeup after I get out of the shower. Never fails...if I get dressed and then do my makeup I always get eye shadow dust on my clothes. I really hope you try this project :) I'm planning on making this as gifts for friends and family. Thanks for watching and I hope you're having a FANTASTIC weekend! HUGS :)
when u say "drop your needle" what do u mean? I have to raise mine in order to turn material. "as far as i know". Thanks. Btw yor a really good teacher.
PS: can u make something that's really cool for dudes? I'm a guy and just started sewing about a month ago. I thought it was girly but it's cool as crap. I'm thinking of a little side business b/c of it. Most all videos are for women and I'd like to make something seriously awesome and appealing for guys that is maybe simple yet effective and looks really awesome. ty: jase
**Love the Dog!! I have a little girl beagle that does the EXACT same thing. EVERYWHERE i go she has to be near me. #Awesomeness
+Jase C Thanks Jase !! When I say "drop the needle", its because several computerized sewing machines like mine have the option for the needle to always be in the down position (in the fabric...not off the fabric) when you stop sewing. By doing this, the fabric can't move around on you when you stop or pause during sewing. I hope that makes sense. Sewing is a fantastic hobby and business opportunity for anyone (male or female) so I'm really excited that you are learning and enjoying it. I won't be sewing again until Spring. We are building a house and all my equipment is in storage until the house is finished. As far as fashion for men, have you checked out KenAndrewDaily 's youtube channel. He does men's sewing tutorials and he's very creative too. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a FABULOUS day! HUGS :)
fashiontoppings UGHH!!! Every single time i find someone that I actually can learn from (and lots are terrible teachers on here let me tell u)... They stop sewing for a while. :*( I have not checked his channel out but will now. I'd love to teach others some day as well. I simply love doing that. Gosh i wish someone around here sewed for i'd pay them to learn personally . Apparently I'm the ONLY person in my area. I think all the sewing folk work at Handcock. lol
No, because he is really picky about his clothes and when it comes to dress shirts and stuff...he has them done by Men's Warehouse so the arms and neck fit correctly. My kids are the same way, very picky...so I'm the only lucky thrifter in the house :) I hope you have a GREAT weekend!! Big HUGS :)
Thanks Dena! They are getting so long, its getting hard to text on my phone. I'm going to have to break down and shorten them soon. Big Hugs :)
