Hooded towel Tutorial

my child is a chunky monkey.  And due to this "baby" sized stuff doesn't work for him.  The major one being baby towels.  So here is a quick and easy tutorial on hooded towel you can use from infant to toddler---or you on those days you want to bundle up after a warm shower.

needed
1 - hand towel
1-bath towel

--Cut hand towel in half

-Finish cut edge - serge or zig zag
--folded the short end together to form a point.  This should be the opposite of the cut end

--Using a short stitch length (1.5) but a wide zig zag (4)  sew the two edges together. MAKE sure to catch both edges of the towel in your stitches.

--You should now have a point
--Center the point piece onto the long side of your towel...this is sewn to the "outside" so if you want a certain side out when you wrap it make sure that side is facing up in this step.

--pin in place.
--Zig Zag the three edges of the point piece.  Then straight stitch along the edge of the towel.  This attatchs and secures the point piece and towel together.

--Embellish as desired--mine are plain cause my little one pulls everything off that I put on.

DONE!! Now time for a bath!!

Are you only using then, one half of the hand towel? So you could buy two bath towels and one hand towel and make two hooded baby towels? Awesome!
BTW - I have a favorite little guy named Aidan too! He's my grandson...but he's now almost 5! :) Popular name!
