I have made several hooded towels as baby gifts through the years. Each time I go to my machine I pull up your video to refresh myself with your instructions. I love to look of the professional the end results. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us!

This is by far the very best technique that I've seen for a hooded towel! Love it! One thing that I changed is that, when attaching the hood to the towel, I started at the center and sewed toward the outside of the hood and then turned it around and did the other side. I did that so that it wouldn't bunch up in the center as you sew toward the center. It was a little awkward because I had to have the length of the towel to the right while sewing the reverse from the center. Just had to deal with the bulkiness.

Thank you so much for the tutorial, Juju! Your designs are the best!

thank you. I have always wanted to make some of these for my grandchildren but was scared because I thought that it was a very involved process. Watching you and your technique made it so much easier for me. Thanks again!

I have spent hours looking for an in the hoop design. This is finally what I’m looking for! I’m so excited to make this for my new baby girl first great granddaughter! Of course I will change the colors to a soft pink.

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen with a nice finish, with hidden Seams I mean. I am no seamstress but for the towel edges not really matching when you do the self lining thing (which I find great) I would suggest drawing the line like at 8.25 and not really in the center: linings tend to show more because they have less room to fit in, like when you do pouches for the lining you should use a larger seam allowance to better accommodate the lining fabric, if the outside part is just a little bigger than the lining part, I feel when you match the bottom edges they would like up better. My preference is to add a little bias tape, I find it a nice decorative touch and this way you cannot see if everything matches really well. (Also where I live towels are 22’’ so I think I might try using some terry cloth and making a towel from scratch, which would have no finished edges)
Thanks for sharing, I will use this method for my next towel ☺️

This is the best video for making a baby bath towel. I like how everything is finished with no raw edges.

Lady, you have the best sewing room view in the WORLD! Thanks for the video. I'm totally doing my towel your way now. No ugly seams, nice finished look. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your video. When my son was a baby over 30 years ago, I was gifted a store bought hooded towel and I used that towel so much. Your towel is so much nicer. My cousin’s new baby will love this. 😊

Love the way you have attached the hood. Thank you

[judyduncan]

Love the way you put the towel together

Made a towel for grandson tonight... it turned out lovely... thank you!

[lesliechatelain]

I love the way you have hidden the seams. Great choice of towels

[juliablair]

Genius!!!! I have struggled through so many towels - this is by far the easiest, most simple way to make a professional finished, lined towel! Love it! Thank you for the fantastic video! I’m going to buy towels now to make one!

[ClaytonLand]

Beautiful job. I love the bath towel. Thanks for the idea.❤

[lindawilliams]

By far the most professional looking towel. I like encasing the embroidery design so it doesn't show the back and it is much softer. Thank you!

[tamraleecorley-dunn]

I am a Seamstress of 45 years and you did wonderful on this demo and want to say Thank You So Much, can't wait to start making them, Thank You for All of Your Wonderful Designs, I love them all and continuously purchase from you.

Been watching many of these hooded towel videos, but this is by far my favorite technique. Thanks.

[ruthdrews]

Your window view looks amazing....thanks for the extra professional tips...

I have been making hooded towels for at least 10 years now and make my own embroidery on them as I don't own an embroidery machine, but I really like how you make the towels with now seams showing or the embroidery showing. I have one I am making for my Granddaughters birthday and am so excited to make it the way you do. Thanks so much for showing us how to do this! I live in Canada and we don't have Target stores here anymore which I am so sad for, since they did have the best colour and thickness for making the hooded towels. Joan
