How I did it: First, I decided that I wanted to make a super mario themed cross stich towel. Then, I searched the web for exemples of what has been done and also references of super mario. I decided that Yoshi was a cute theme for a baby and he was more friendly. Next, I google "super mario sprite" and found the complete Yoshi sprite. I made a layout of what I wanted the towel to look on photoshop and transfered it to a cross stich application for mac. Last but not least, I bought the strings and just went for it.

Lessons & tips: Be prepared to break the rules of cross stitching if you are willing to make a big and complex design, but always keep the verse clean and beautiful. Pay attention all the time!
