First off, I have to apologize for all the different lighting in the photos. They were taken different days and at different times. Sometimes projects get done in between meals, cleaning, playing, etc. and it didn't help that I got sick this past week.
My children love hooded towels and so do I (for them of course)!!
For years I've always wanted to make them, but haven't gotten up the nerve because I've always had people to make them for me :)
Well, this year I decided I wanted to try my hand at them, especially since my children's old ones were becoming really old.
Buy towels and hand towels. You only need one hand towel to make two hooded towels.
I got all my full size bath towels on Black Friday at Walmart and they were less than $2 a piece--score!
Fold the cut end of the hand towel up so that the wrong side is folded up.
Use ribbon or fabric to cover cut edge.
I used fabric because I wanted it to match my appliques.
Fold under cut edge of fabric and top stitch. This will completed cover the cut edge of the hand towel so you won't have to worry about the towel fraying.
Fold the hand towel with right sides together and sew the finished ends together (opposite of the fabric edge you just sewed)
This is what your hood should look like when you turn it right side out.

With right sides together match the center of your hood to the center of the towel and pin in place.
This is what it looks like pinned together. Sew through both layers being careful not to break your needle.

This is what the hooded towel looks like finished.
You can just stop here and let your children use them or you can follow along to see how I added appliques to the back of their towels.
I used "HeatnBond Ultrahold iron-on adhesive" & ironed in on the back of the fabric I wanted to use.
Because I need more practice with my Cricut I was not able to get it to cut my fabric, so I just placed the picture on the top of my fabric and cut out the shape.
Then I just positioned the applique where I wanted it on the back of the towel & ironed it on.
So that it will stay on even better, I stitched around all the edges of each applique.

I bought enough supplies to make them each three, but since I was sewing on Christmas Eve when everyone was asleep, I only got done one each. This will give me something to work on when they're back in school :)
I love the finished result and so do they! Thanks Lynne for helping me out!!
*Hopefully I didn't make this look to complicated. This really is an easy project to complete.
