Currently on the market are a huge number of products for all ages. You can choose any design, color, or you can sew such a towel-poncho with your own hands. Believe me, this is no big deal.

How to sew your own hands?

First you need to decide on the size of the future product. To do this you will need several measurements:

  • head circumference (OG) - for the pattern of the hood;
  • arm span - for the width of the product;
  • from the clavicle to the ankle - for length.

Next, select the fabric and edging material. For sewing any towels, you need to pick up natural fabrics, since only they have a high ability to absorb water.

Experts recommend to opt for terry textiles with a long nap (makhra).

The amount of material needed is simply determined - multiply the length of the future product by 2 and add half the head circumference measure. As a border, it is advised to use a braid or a satin banding (it will take about 6 m).

Now we will start cutting. First, transfer the measurements to a piece of cloth. Cut the two lengths of the product from a piece of cloth. The width of the pattern should be the amount of arm span. If excess remains, cut it off. Round the edges of the back and front, that is, the corners of the resulting rectangle. The curve of the hood looks like 2 squares, the side length of which is equal to ½ OG.

To cut the neck of the product, fold the main pattern along the length and designate the center. From it on the front of the future poncho draw a semicircle with a radius equal to a quarter of the exhaust gas. Carefully cut it out.

Sew the details of the hood to each other. Treat its edges with edging.

Make a loop of 5 cm edging material. Sew it in the middle of the back of the neck. Next, sew the hood and the main piece. Turn over the edges of the almost finished towel-poncho with a braid or piping.
