Tutorial Tuesday

Tutorial Tuesday featuring the hooded towel made for children, note this is not an infant towel. Materials needed: a hand towel, a bath towel, and a sewing machine with coordinating thread.
Step 1: Fold the hand towel in half (a hamburger fold) and sew along one side of the hamburger fold.
It should look like the below when finished! (Check out the wedding band tan line above!)
Step 2: Fold the bath towel in half (hamburger fold) and place a pin along the fold.
Step 3: Pin the the hand towel and the bath towel together so that outside sides are facing each other. The previous stitch line of the hand towel should match the fold line of the bath towel. Then stitch the hand towel and bath towel together. When finished, it should look like the picture below! I love using these for beach towels and recycling towels that you no longer use!
I made some for Mini, but added her initial to the bottom by using ultra-hold and scrap fabric; I then stitched the fabric to the towel using an embroidery stitch.
