I love hooded bath towels, but when my son outgrew his baby ones, I noticed how expensive child size ones are so I decided to make some myself. This example is actually one for my niece for Christmas.
I wash my towels and ribbon separately before sewing to prevent shrinking and bleeding of material.
Supplies:
One regular size bath towel
One hand towel
Matching Thread
Ribbon
Sewing Machine
Directions:
Lay your hand towel out and cut in half. Since only half is needed, you can use the other half to make another hooded towel!
Fold your hand towel in half, and fold your bath towel in half. Find the middle where they meet and place a pin. Unfold them and pin them together for sewing.
Sew together using a regular straight stitching.
Fold the hand towel and bath towel in half (right sides together) and stitch the top part of the hand towel closed.
You have just completed your hooded towel. But I want to add ribbon for decoration, so my next step is to place ribbon on the lined part of towel, pin it and sew it.
