| Cross stitch design on strip of aida cloth |
I modified a duck design and lettering that I found in a book of cross stitch designs. I designed the waves and the little fishes. The bright colors stand out against the clean white cloth.

Use a coordinating gingham fabric to sew around the cross stitch design. Make it as large as the hood width. Place a piece of interfacing behind the cross stitch design, and a piece of thicker padded interfacing. Zigzag around the top to the terry cloth.

| Coordinating gingham fabric enhances the design |
A narrow strip of gingham fabric on top of the wash cloth adds a splash of color to the white terry cloth.
