Pin It This isn’t Landon…it’s Gus wearing Landon’s towel, and isn’t he a silly goose. My boys each have their own hooded towel and they’re great. So easy to make and they hang on the hangers sooo much easier with a hood. EVERY kid needs a hooded towel, that’s all I’m saying, and here’s what […]
Are you a cardigan girl? I TOTALLY am. Before we begin, be sure to check out what other clothing re-purposing I’ve done–like this T-Shirt grocery bag video tutorial for example.

I guest posted this project last summer on UCreate, now here it is for all of you here. Summer will be here before we know it and getting a head start with some swim towel pullovers is a great idea. Keeping tabs on more than one small child at the pool can be tough, especially […]
