Minnie Mouse Hooded Towel

Hello A Little Tipsy Readers! This is Amber from Crazy Little Projects here to teach you to make a hooded towel-and I think you Disney fans are going to love this one. I make a new hooded towel every month-check them out here! But this one’s a little different from the ones I’ve made in the past. This one’s Minnie Mouse (or Mickey Mouse-take your pick). I’m thinking some kiddos would love these. They’d be
great to take on a trip to Disney!

Mickey and Minnie Hooded Towel Tutorial:

Supplies Needed: 1 Red Towel 1 Black hand towel Red polkadot fabric or ribbon for Minnie Towel Instructions: In this post I am teaching you to make the head part of this towel. If you would like to see how I finish off my hooded towels and attach the hoods, see my basic hooded towel post. To start off, cut your hand towel in half horizontally. Fold the selvage edge under about 3-4 inches and stitch it in place. (Sorry, forgot to take pictures of this, but here it is on another towel):

Now, flip that over and you will work on the underside, the side without the seam. With the extra piece of hand towel cut out your ears. You will need 4 ear pieces. Just cut a large circle but make it slightly oval shaped so that you can sew it in place easier (see image below). Grab 2 ear pieces and sew them together leaving an opening in the bottom.

Turn them right side out:

On your hand towel decide where you want the ears and cut small slits. Pull the ear through so that it looks like this on the underside:

Do that with both ears and snip off any excess on the bottom. For Minnie-to make the bow either use red polka dot ribbon and tie it, or, use red polka dot fabric. Cut the fabric to be about 14 inches by 5 inches (it’s up to you how big or small you want the bow). Fold it so that right sides are together and stitch around it leaving a small opening to turn it.

Turn it right side out, press it and then sew the opening closed. The pinch your bow like this:

And stitch it in the middle to hold it. Hand stitch the bow to the towel where you want it. Now, fold your hood part in half so that the ears are on the inside and zig zag up the back along the raw edges. Then, fold it

like this:

And sew a straight line across the top about 1-2 inches from the top and snip that off. (This rounds out the hood so it’s not so pointy.)

And you’re done! Just sew the hood to your towel and you’ve got yourself a little Mickey or Minnie Hooded Towel! Here’s a few more of my hooded towels:
