Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Jennifer shared this link to a pool towel with straps when I was having my strap issue trying to make our towels into backpacks.

I wanted to give it it's own thread because I made one today, and it was so inexpensive and easy. I learned to sew the same way I learned to play piano, just enough to get by. This project took me about an hour, and I had to rip seams and check the directions frequently. I used fabric scraps and an old towel so it cost nothing!

And I learned from my previous problem that I needed a heavy weight needle when sewing on the towel (the source of my very loud noise was the needle hitting the strike plate ).

I hope you enjoy it!

Rachel,

Thanks for sharing this link -- it does look pretty easy (altho the directions are a bit confusing at the start, once I saw the final pictures I had a definite AH HA! moment).
