DIY - sew a hair towel

The practical accessory for getting out of the shower! I recommend you try the hair towel :-) Made from bamboo terry fabric known for its soft, absorbent properties, it wraps your wet hair before a quick blow-dry. Let's get started? 

Material to sew your hair towel 

• a piece of 60x60cm bambou terry cloth  (because we love its softness)
• 1,80m bias binding 
• 1 button of your choice 
• 1 small piece of flexible elastic (10cm is enough)
• Pattern to download here

Step 1 : the body

Cut out the 2 shapes of the body of the towel according to the pattern. On the reverse side of the piece of fabric n° 2, place a small elastic band folded into a loop as shown in the diagram. Make a small stitch to hold it in place.

Pin the pieces of fabric sides together and sew (or overlock) the rounded part.

Step 2 : the bias binding

Place the bias binding en start by pinineng and sewing it all the way around the open side. 

Here's how to connect the bias binding:

We then "trim" the terry fabric  so that your bias binding will fit properly when folded. Keep about 5mm. Fold the bias binding sew along the edge.

Step 3 : the button

Turn it over and iron. All that's left to do is attach a button where indicated on the diagram and your hair towel is ready!

See you soon,
