My friend Elizabeth sent me this tutorial on how to make a hooded towel.
This is the finished product and my super model L was ready to try it out!!

Procrastination Time: 7 months (Elizabeth sent this to me back in the summer 2007)
Pack-rat: Old Towels from when it matched my old house bathroom, ribbon from ribbon collection
Cost: $0
Verdict: Easy! Loved this project and would love to make this for gifts for toddlers (with new towels of course). I changed one thing from the tutorial, I did not turn over on the end of the hood (hand towel). It just seemed too bulky and unnecessary. I just measured the hand towel to the 10.5 inches and cut it that length.

Looks great! Is it easy enough for me to do?
Elizabeth- it is easy enough for you to do OR you could wait for a sweet friend to make your son one for his birthday!! If you insist on making one my only suggestion would be to get thin towels if you have a machine that doesn't sew through bulky garments well.
That is SO CUTE! You are very talented - love your blog!
Welcome to SITS. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we all do!

I'm impressed! I just bought a toddler sized hoodie towel on sale (I'm not very crafty, but I admire other's projects).

Hello and welcome to SITS!
I had to laugh when I read this. This morning, I used the one my best friend made for my little boy, 2 1/2 years ago! LOL He's in the 90th percentile and looked giant in it!
These are a really great project though!
