Homemade Infant Bath Towels With a Hood

Hooded towels are great for snuggling you wet little one into.

When you finish bathing your infant you want to make sure they are wrapped up head to toe in their towel; a hooded towel is a great way to do just that. Hooded towels are available for purchase in many stores, but with a little effort and less money than buying a premade one, you can make one of your own. These towels also make great gifts for a baby shower.

• Hand towel
• Scissors
• Regular towel
• Straight pins
• Sewing machine

Instructions

1. Fold your hand towel in half width wise, cut down the fold with you scissors. Discard one half.

2. Lay flat your regular sized towel and center your half of the hand towel in the middle. Cut edge along the edge of the towel, overlapping about half an inch.

3. Pin the handtowel, with your straight pins, to the regular towel.

4. Sew the handtowel to the regular towel and remove the pins.

5. Fold the regular towel, with hand towel now sewn on, in half. This should fold the hand towel in half as well if you centered it correctly. Be sure to fold the towel so that the overlapped hand towel edge is on the outside.

6. Pin the top of edges of the hand towel, the ones not sewn to the regular towel, together.

7. Sew the top of hand towel together and you will create the hood. Remove pins.
