Do your friends and/or family ever ask you to make things for them? Mine do. Sometimes they ask for some strange items, other times, simple ones. This particular one is a bit strange, but quite useful!
A few weeks ago, my mom asked me to make some towels (or robes) for her dogs to wear after she gives them a bath. She even made a prototype, if you will, out of an old dish towel, Fray Check, and Velcro.
I used terry cloth for the towel, quilting cotton and Heat n Bond for the raw-edge appliqued circles, cord for the tie around the neck and Velcro to secure the flaps underneath the belly. Here are some pictures of the finished towels in action. She took them on her phone, so please excuse the quality.

I won't lie, the girls don't look thrilled, but I know my mom is enjoying her clean bathroom! :)
What do you make for your friends or family? Have you had any interesting requests?
