What’s the Project? These children’s hooded towels are a perfect sewing project because they make a great gift for babies, toddlers, and kids. These hooded bath towels are made to look like dinosaurs, minions, animals and other childhood favorites.
When my babies were little tiny newborn babies, my mother in law made these fabulous hooded bath towels for them. They were made from actual bath towels so they were thick and warm and cozy and perfect!
And then she taught me to make them and I made them as baby gifts.
At some point along the line, I started putting faces on them. I don’t even remember when or why, and I can’t remember which was first, but I think it was the frog hooded towel. Or maybe the duck.
And then I started creating all of the characters and now you can see all these cute children’s hooded towels and make them yourself!
Honestly, friends, I can’t even choose which is my favorite! They are just so cute! I love the Minion, the puppy, the owls, the superheroes and so many more of them.
Which do you love best? I’d love to hear! Here’s a look at these great hooded towels.

I love your hooded towels that you’ve been running. I attended a craft show this Fall and they did a cute Spiderman. She was almost sold out of the Spiderman, I should have bought one so that maybe I could sew one of them. Do you have a pattern for one by any chance? I for one would appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thanks for breaking them down to look easy. Next job…repair my sewing machine
after all it’s use, it needs to be fixed.
Thank you,
Robbin

February 22, 2015 at 5:18 pmHi, I love your hooded towels so far I’ve done 2 of them. What great gifts!!!! I know you’re busy but I’m hoping you might help me a little. I want to make a horse hooded towel but am stumped with the head and putting a mane down the back of the hood. Truthfully the long head is what has me stumped.
Thank you for any help !

February 23, 2015 at 11:16 amI would do it like I did the dinosaur/dragon hooded towel but instead of spikes, sew pieces of yarn in there to make a mane. http://crazylittleprojects.com/2012/09/dragon-hooded-towel-tutorial.html
