I love that you are getting requests. :) They are still my go to gift for new babies as well. I've started buying solid white towels and adding a little bath toy to go with it. Thanks so much for your comment, I hope you see my reply.

I use solid colors with a patterned ribbon for the hood. I have been making them for almost 4 years and now I am getting requests from family members to make a towel for the 2nd or 3rd babies so each child can have their own unique towel! I so appreciate your great tutorial for such a unique hooded towel design!

I could not for the life of me find a plain (no design) quality hooded baby towel and decided I needed to sew my own. I came across your awesome tute and am so completely happy with the outcome of my white towel/hand towel which I then embroidered on the center of the hood. Perfect! Thanks a million for clear instructions and photos!

This is an optional step that I somehow forgot to include in the tutorial. Sewing bias tape over the seam edges might work too. With all of the bulky layers it could be a bit tricky though.<br /><br />I'm happy for you that your towel turned out good!

The only problem was on the inside, where the hood connects to the towel, it is really rough from where I sewed it to keep from raveling. Is there anything to keep it from rubbing the back of thier neck?

If you look at the...Hi, hopefully this will help--<br /><br />If you look at the towel and imagine it in three equal parts, you will first take the left side of the towel and fold it over towards the right side of the towel to the two-third mark (when you look at it, 1/2 of the towel will now have two thicknesses of fabric, 1/2 of the towel will have one thickness).<br /><br />Take the top right hand corner OF THE SIDE THAT YOU JUST FOLDED OVER and fold it down and over towards the bottom left corner of the hood. It will make a little triangle at the bottom. <br /><br />Then you will take the right side of the towel and fold it to the left, over the side you just folded (to the two-thirds mark) so there are three equal width layers of fabric at the bottom.<br /><br />Take the top left corner OF THAT SIDE and fold it down and over toward the bottom right of the hood, making another triangle.<br /><br />There will now be five layers of fabric at the bottom (in the center third of the hood).<br /><br />It can be confusing the first time or two that you fold the hood, especially when you aren't seeing it done in person. If it's not coming together, let me know and I'll walk you through it one step at a time. ~JanetJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366544476512817102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119171558044812394.post-63209212396078875722011-06-16T14:39:41.315-06:002011-06-16T14:39:41.315-06:00Ok, I am stuck at step 6.
