## **Tips for making a towel wrap**

- Serge the raw edge of the terry cloth to prevent fraying, if possible.
- Use a Cuddle® 3 or Luxe Cuddle® instead of cotton to bind the edges with softness.
- To alter the size, measure your hips and add 14" for overlap; measure your high bust and cut elastic 1" shorter.
- Add embroidery on the pocket to personalize it!

## **Fabrics and notions you'll need to make the slippers**

These notions can be substituted for whatever you have on hand, but here is what Teresa recommends for her Cuddle® minky fabric slippers:

**Slippers fabrics:**

- Luxe Cuddle® Dazzle Hide Iris/Silver
- Terry Cloth

**Tips for making Cuddle® minky fabric slippers**

- Make sure to add a seam allowance. 1/4" will work, but 1/2" is easier. Trim down after sewing.
- Use anti-skid gripper fabric to make them safe on wooden or tile floors
- Use fabric clips with the Soft n Stable and make sure to finish the edges with a zig zag to flatten them.
- Use Luxe Cuddle® Shearling, Luxe Cuddle® Sherpa or Luxe Cuddle® Llama for extra fluffy insoles.
