(Note: We made several of these, and the pictures ended up being of two separate towels, hence the color change.)
Kids Hooded Bath Towel Tutorial
What you'll need:
*One bath towel (we found big, nice ones for $3.50 at WalMart!)
*One matching hand towel ($2.50 at WalMart)
*Sewing machine and matching thread
*Rotary cutter or scissors
Okay, let's get started!
1. Measure and cut the hand towel in half width-wise. (You can get two hoods out of one hand towel.)
2. Fold bath towel in half width-wise to find center. Fold one half of hand towel in half and match the middle of it to the middle of the bath towel (this is to help you center the hand towel on the bath towel). Pin raw (cut) edge of hand towel to bath towel.
3. Sew the two together.
4. Fold the hand towel in half, right sides together. Pin along top. This will complete your hood. Sew across the edge.
5. Flip right-side out and you're done! Look at those little cuties--awww!
How's that for a 15-minute (or less!) project? We've got some other fun kid bath projects coming soon. Stay tuned!

Have you seen a pattern for hodded bathrobes made from towels? I saw some at family camp this summer and the mom of the children said that grandma had made them. They had sleeves, hoods and fit everyone from the teens down to preschool...
