Girl’s bathroom

This time I would like to share my girl’s bathroom of my girls… I love PBK stuff, when we go to the store my hubby always said “you can do these”, and here I’m. . .


First I star with the shower curtains





And you can tell I can’t wait to hang this shower curtain (I steam iron after I hung it)

To make these shower curtain I use

• flat bed sheet

• Light green fabric about 2 yards

• A ¼ of fabric dark green

• Scraps of fabric for the flowers

• Craft paper to make the templates

• Fusible fabric


First I cut and made the button holes for the shower curtain hooks, I trace the flowers and cut the fabric, and zig zag the appliqués , in the botton of the shower curtain put a stripe of light green.

Little touch for the girl’s bathroom


Today redecorating my girls bath, coming the idea on the washcloths, my mom told me that be more sanitizer if I have individual washcloth to dry hands also on my daughter birthday party, the towel for dry the hand was very wet, also this can work for a baby shower gift, so this is what I do . . .

 
I have this basket, and washcloths



Having many colors I can play a little, I utilize two washcloths in color green, to represent my leaves,




 
And the other in different colors to represent my flowers, is so simple that adding a touch for the bath

 
For the flower fold the washcloth in half, and later you roll it to shape like a rouse, when you have it, arrange it in the basket, it is done, and you also will need another basket to put the duty washcloths in


         



        



 
Hope you like it . . .
