Beach HOODIE

YOU WILL NEED

* 70x127cm striped bath towel

* Matching sewing thread

* Rotary cutter, quilting ruler and cutting mat

NOTE Take 1.5cm seam allowances throughout.

Our snug beach hoodie is made from a single towel, cut into six pieces (see diagram for cutting instructions), and makes use of the towel's original edging. The measurements we've given fit a two-to-three-year-old, so adjust accordingly and buy more towels if you're making for older children. As towelling frays, run a quick zigzag stitch around the cut edges of all the pieces, to make it easier to work with.
