How to Sew a Hooded Towel

Hooded bath towel pattern is very easy to make; you will accomplish making one in a half an hour time. The things that you require for sewing a toddler hooded towel pattern are a large bath towel (size with respect to the toddler), a smaller hand towel (for the hood), scissors, large straight pins, sewing machine (or needle and thread) and tape. You can choose the same color for both the bath towel and the hand towel. Or else, make a different design by selecting a bleach colored bath towel and a complementary color for the hand towel. With all these requirements ready, you can start making a hooded bath towel pattern.

First of all, lay the bath towel on a large table or a flat surface and smoothen out. Then lay the hand towel adjacent to the longer side of the bath towel. If there are decorations in the towels, lay them with the face down. Align the hand towel properly so that it is coming to the center of the hand towel edge. After careful adjustment of the bath towel and the hand towel, secure the edges with straight pins, so that they do not move while sewing or stitching. Following this, begin sewing with the sewing machine. If you are using needle and thread, stitch the edges together. Whatever be the stitching option, run two or three times at this portion for better securing.

The next step is folding both the towels together along the central line. Make sure that the folding is done in such a way that you are viewing the inner side of the hooded towel. Retaining the folded shape, sew the top seams of the hand towel together to make a hood pattern; you can run two times to avoid tearing. With this you have completed sewing a hooded bath towel pattern for babies or toddlers. Turn the hooded bath towel to the outside and check the design and the seams.

You can also make custom hooded towels for kids. Over here, select a bath towel that is large enough to wrap the kid and follow to same steps as above. Hooded bath towel towel pattern makes great baby shower gift ideas and birthday gifts. So, the next time, you are going for your friend's baby daughter's birthday, prepare for the gift in advance and make a hooded bath towel. Sew her name on the towel by using a bright colored fabric. This way, you can add a personal touch to the gift, which will be cherished forever.
