It worked beautifully! I made two hooded towels today for my kids in about an hour. I bought little patches to sew on the corner for each of them. The longest part was figuring out which way to pin the towels (because I am totally not visual in that way) but now I’ve got it down. What a great birthday gift for friends’ kids – and inexpensive, too! Thank you, Marie!

Jami – You shouldn’t need anything fancy. I have a cheap $100 machine that I’ve had for 10 years and it works just fine. Just go slow so the needle doesn’t bend if it’s thick. If you need to, try to overlap the towel enough to where you aren’t sewing on the thick edges, but in about 1/2 inch. Maybe that will help.

How great! I even think I might be able to do this! Question: can my plain old, not fancy sewing machine handle sewing through towels? Or do I need anything fancy? Thanks!

Georgia – How fun that you’ve made 18 of these, I’m so glad this tutorial has helped! I’m not quite sure about the infant towel. But I think cutting it in half should work, along with a wash cloth. Let me know how it goes and if that sizing worked!

Thanks for wonderful directions. I have now made 18 of these for my grandkids and their friends. I even purchased a special board to help me hoop the towels for machine embroidery. Your directions and pictures are perfect and I have forwarded your site to my sewing friends.
Question: What size towel would you recommend for an infant????? I figured out that a washcloth would take care of the hood. Would you cut a bath towel in half????

Thank you for posting these directions! I don’t sew, but this was so simple that I had to try! I made six of these for Christmas gifts, adding pompoms to the pointed hoods. My sister needed hooded towels for her three little kids, but the problem was she couldn’t find any that were bleachable. Walmart now sells some thick, soft, brightly-colored towels that can be bleached without fading the colors. This project cost me about seven dollars per towel, and they came out great! By the way…the kids in your pictures are adorable!

Love this! I cannot find any baby towels that are as soft as mommy and daddy’s towels… what a great idea!
