Hooded baby (or child) Towel

First buy a standard size bath towel, matching hand towel and a piece of flannel.  Remove all tags and wash and dry if desired.  Cut the hand towel to a 10" length. Cut flannel to exact hand towel size.  Pin with right sides down and if it is a patterned flannel with the pattern facing the right way.

 Flipping over, sew along the seam so that the stitching is hid.  Leave a 1/2" on either end open!  (Note where the pen is pointing).

Remove the pins and fold in 1/2, with right sides together.

Pin along towel end and flannel end.  Sew 1/4" seam on towel side and 1/2" on flannel side.

 

Turn the hood right side out.

 Fold the large towel in half, wrong sides together and put a pin in the center.  Open up (wrong side up) and place the hood on top, pinning ONLY the flannel to the large towel, starting in the center (where the pin is and working towards the outside.

Fold the outside edges up and pin.

 

This is what it will look like prior to sewing.  

Flip over and sew along the current seam line.

Here is what it will look like- notice the hand towel is still not sewn!

Pin the hand towel to the large towel.

Flip over and sew right along the edge of the flannel fabric.

 

Tack the tip of the hood to the flannel with needle and thread.

 

Fold in thirds, roll up and tie with a ribbon- you're done!!!
