DIY Towel Wrap

I recently participated in the pattern remix at Me Sew Crazy. 

In case you missed it here was my project.

 We were asked to do a "pattern remix" of any pattern. 

  I found mine at @ Sew4Home. 

Its a super cute towel wrap.

I actually got to kill 2 birds with one stone on this project. 

 I needed a graduation gift for my cousin, and a great

blog project.

Here is what you need.

1 yard of terry cloth

16-20 in. of non-roll elastic

velcro

scrap fabric

The original post used 8" binding. 

It also had a pocket and shoulder straps. 

Here is the pattern pic that I based mine off of.

I used a ruffle instead of binding and no shoulder strap.

You start by placing the elastic in the back so you get a snug fit.

See the original post HERE for directions. 

The only thing I modified was that I serged the edge of my towel

and only folded over once.  I didn't want the thickness of a double fold.

I then made my ruffle that I used instead of the binding.

 

I used a strip that was 88 in. by 2.5.  I folded in half and sewed

with a basting stitch so that I could gather for my ruffle.

I pinned and sewed in place.

I repeated with terry cloth for the bottom edge.

I also added velco on the top like in the original post.  See pictured below.

I added a monogram. I used my embroidery machine, but you could easily use a

silhoutte or print a letter from your computer and applique.
