M-N-M-L

My friend and soon-to-be ex-coworker, now personal chef to the luckiest of families who hire her services, asked me to help her with a sewing project a couple of weeks ago. Her mother and three aunts are coming for a visit to Chicago in November and Melissa wants to provide them with a special personalized touch during their stay. Ever the hostess, she asked me to help her put together these beauties for each of the women.

Just your basic towel and a letter-cut-out made of fabric that was fitting to each individual. I used a zig-zag stitch to secure them to the towel and am hoping they don't unravel once used! I basted the letters to the towels before sewing so that they would stay somewhat in place while I sewed...which was a feat in itself.

While I don't think I'll be opening up a towel business any time soon, it was good experience on the old machine with a new texture I haven't worked with in the past. I hope that Melissa's special guests feel pampered during their stay. With personalized towels and home cooked goodness from their host, I'm sure they'll have a wonderful vacation!
