Today I will share how I made these hooded towels. They are for my MOPS group. I was asked to make these for the new moms. I was given an old one they had and no instructions. I was glad this is not a difficult sewing project. They don't take long to make if you don't have to embroider them. (I THINK THIS WOULD BE AWESOME FOR SOME BEACH TOWELS!!)
Here is what I had as my example.
I first embroidered my wash clothes then snipped the corners at the front to get rid of some bulk.
Then you fold it. I can't really explain the fold but it looks like this. You want the snipped point to go out to the edge.
Pin into place and stitch.
You will then pin the wash cloth on the towel. I fold the towel in half to find the center and line it up with the center of the wash cloth. Then stitch them together and you have a hooded towel.
I will have to make some for the kids for the summer and I will show it off later. If you make this craft please link back and share your creations. I love seeing all you do.
I have seen these before and really want to try them... I guess now I have no excuse not too! Except maybe that I don't have towels to use. HA HA

My kids love their hooded towels - perfect for the pool so they can be wrapped up but not dragging the ground. I am having my first linky party tomorrow (Tuesday) if you'd like to stop by: www.craftedition.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I love hooded towels but my son has a huge head & sometimes they don't fit. Making one would definitely solve that problem! Hi,
