Who will you make a hooded towel for? Baby? Toddler? Older kids? A gift or for your family?
@bubbiemasha9 ай бұрын
For newborns and for older kids using a bath sheet and a whole hand towel for the hoods. Thanks for the instructions.

Love this for its simplicity and speed. Guilty admission....I made a rag quilt for my two-year-old greatgrand and his five-year-old big sister asked "What are you making for me?" I have made many things for her in the past and it was her little brother who got neglected during Covid. But of course she doesn't understand that! So I'm making her a hooded swim towel and she won't understand how easy it was compared to the quilt. Now that I see how easy it is will probably make more for other grands and great-grands.

Sounds like the adorable “what have you done for me lately?” Of a 5 year old! I’m sure she will love the beach towel, as will the others! Happy sewing!

I’ve been making them for years, maybe 2-3 per year, not enough that I don’t have to look at a few videos each time. (I’m old, that’s my excuse, lol). My g’son and g’daughter are in University this year and I made them some when little when we first moved down the street from them. Now, I’m making some for my 2 g’kids a few hours from here, and they’re 6 & 9 and they still want them even the 9 year old. It’s grey, and no fancy anything on his, just in case he gets teased, lol. Everyone loves them. I even put some pcs inside the towel for the ones when they go swimming, to be able to hold them onto themselves. Like a wing flap inside the 2 side edges…

P.S. a bulky seam jumper is a great little tool to have for sewing over those thick spots and a serger with wooly nylon or wooly poly is perfect for the raw egdes of the hood. Obviously another option is to do a French seam to enclose the raw edge perfectly and neatly and give a true professional finish.

@ArtistTaraReed Жыл бұрын
I'm sure your grand daughter WILL love it anyway but also know how frustrating that would be! Make sure you fold the towel wrong sides together, then pin the hood into the hood. Here's a link for where I do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3q6gpSZfLqsmrc
@gailanolik3276 Жыл бұрын
I don’t know if this is how you designed, but when I overlapped the pretty side (embellished) face down on the wrong side of towel and sewed, the end result had the pretty side of hood on the pretty side of towel- with flat seam (from overlapping) over finished edges and sewing mostly just 2 layers of terry, my machine was also happy. Not sewing pretty sides facing each other was weird to get past. Thank you. 5 grandchildren will be pleased. Now on to a Velcro towel wrap wrapped for my school aged grandchildren…. Do you have a tutorial for that? Thanks so much. Merry Christmas. Grateful to be part of your sewing community

Up to what age will this hood fit?
@ArtistTaraReed2 ай бұрын
If you use a full size bath towel and half a hand towel for the hood, I would say till about 8 depending on the child’s size. For older kids use the full hand towel for the hood and an oversized or beach towel. Hope that helps!
