What an adorable project!
How adorable – and so easy!!! Thanks!

Kristin/Beth,
I stumbled across your blog for the first time this week and had to tell you what great eye candy t has been for me so far. I can not wait to try many of teh projects you have listed here. Thanks for the wonderful resource. I hope you don’t mind if I post this one on my site as well.
Thanks,
Stacy from http://www.kidsstuffworld.com
Super cute idea!
Looks like a fun quick project!
That’s awesome! I’m off to find a towel to cut up
Cool!!! I love this! I wish this was posted in May though!!! So cute – and since I have a TON of terrycloth, I can adapt the pattern to use some of it up! I’ll just have to bind all of the edges… hmm.
I can’t wait to make a couple of these!
That is so adorable! I love, love, love it!
That is so cute. My kids have grown out of there cover ups. I’m going to have to make them some!
So cute! I can’t wait to make two of these for my girls before we go on vacation in two weeks. I’ve gotta get moving
How adorable! And what a perfect way to recycle some mismatched towels.
Oh no! Another project for my “To Do” list.
This is so cute and I’m glad it works for older children, not just babies and toddlers.
When I was a child I had a towel beach cover up but it was a poncho.
THis looks much better!!
I have converted towels into hooded bath towels for my kids. Now that they are getting bigger, I think they will like something more like this towel. Thanks for the idea.
hmmmmmmmm do they have towels big enough for me to make one for myself! Cute idea for a boy or girl! Thanks!
absolutely adorable. I wouldn’t hesitate to wear one too, in an adult size!
Very cute!
This is soooo adorable I think I’m going to have to make one for my niece!!!
Thanks
Julie P.
Thanks, my daughter needs a new cover up!
Wish I had a little one to make this for as it is so cute!
I looked all over to BUY one of these for a boy and couldn’t find one. Now I can just make it! Thanks!
This is brilliant! And so easy.
This one really makes me want to get out my sewing machine and stop procrastinating. So so awesome.
How clever!
Beautiful!! I cant wait to make some for my girls!
Julie
Great idea for summer!
What a cute project. It would even be nice for after the bathtime. Clearance towels – here I come!
I just stumbled upon your blog site and I’m enjoying your tutorials..This is so adorable and functional. I make items for my friends who have recently started having kids and this will be perfect for the pool and some shade from the sun.. I guess all this practice will come in handy when I’m blessed with a little one of my own. Enjoy your weekend!!
cute!
I like this idea because the towel is so absorbant compared to the lightweight, nonabsorbant cover up things you can buy at the store. I will be sure to try it for my kids!
My kids will love this!!
I just discovered this website and LOVE it. Thank you for sharing patterns and ideas and making my life easier. I love your fabrics by the way.
this is so great! i’ve been putting off buying a swimsuit coverup for my little girl b/c i knew i could make something myself, and now i definitely can!
This is absolutely darling. I can’t wait to try it!
Just so practical….
Thanks for sharing this clever idea with all of us!

this is such a cute idea!
oh, how cute! And simple. I love it, thanks! I can’t wait to try my hand at the fish or octopus applique on there.
Can I make a big “kid” version?:)
i love this. what a great idea! i can’t wait to make a couple for my kids.
This is so cute! Now I need a girl to make it for!
SO cute!
Too too cute!! My daughter is already begging for one, I see my weekend unfolding…
My daughter is only 17 months, but she would spend everyday in the pool if she could. This little robe is the perfect summer project.
Oh so cute and such a great pool/beach essential! I need to make one of these for each of my kids, thank you!
that is SO CUTE. i want one in my size. ooh! maybe i can make matching ones for my daughter and me!
that’s probably lame.
This is too cute!!! I know my little ones would love one of these to wear to the pool. Not sure if I’ll have time for it this summer, but will definately have to get these made for next year!
So cute! It looks like it would dry them all really well, too!
This is such a cute project!
What a terrific idea! I never would have thought of this.
This is absolutely adorable! It’s on my to-do list.
Way too cute and perfect for the pool.
This is way cute! I am definitely going to file this one in the “must do” category.
Oooo. I’ve got to try this!
how adorable! my nephew will love it!
I wish I hadn’t just bought that cover up on clearance the other day. I will be making one of these for sure – how cute?! I may adapt it to make an art smock. . . . Cute, cute, cute. I love this blog, I just found you last week. The lining a bag and magnetic button tutorials have helped me SO much! Thanks for all the inspiration!!
Super cute! I am going to use the seahorse applique on mine!!!
I love it, I printed it, I am making it this weekend.!!!!!! We have about 8 million old white(ish) towels that I was planning to tye dye anyway, this is going to make them even better!!
Soo cute. I just bought my first bias tape maker. I can’t wait to use it on this project.
So cute! Just in time for my nieces’ birthday and the rest of summer. Thanks for sharing and here’s to a chance at that cool white and red fabric. I think that would do well to inspire me in my red work quilt I’m scheming up.
Thanks!
what a fantastic idea!~
This is adorable!
This is adorable! I’m going to try one for my 20 month old.
This is absolutely adorable! Can’t wait to try it.
Oh, thank you! I have been wanting to make some plain jane hooded towels and this is so much cuter!
How cool. I can’t wait to get started on this project!
I have the kids, now if only I had the pool…..
This is such a great idea – it’s so difficult for little ones to keep their towel on and this fixes the problem. Thanks!
What a great idea! I can’t wait to try this!
This is absolutely adorable
This is exactly what I need. So cute. The kids will never be the same.
What a great idea!
Love it! This maybe my next “go to” gift for all the nieces and nephews.
That cover-up is sooo cute! And easy! Thank you!
so clever! And it looks simple enough that a novice like myself could actually make it. thanks for sharing your great idea!
I love coming to your blog to see the new projects that you have going on. Thanks for the chance to win some free fabric….Everyone LOVES fabric…especially free =)….Thanks again.

If only I had a little one to make this for. But…I think I’ll make one and put it away for my future grandkids! (hopefully at least 10 years away…lol)
Wow! So very cute, and it seems so simple. This is definitely going on my “to-make” list. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a great idea! I’m going to try this.
This is so cute. I am going to attempt this soon–maybe before the next round of swimming lessons in a couple of weeks. This will be perfect for jumping out of the pool. Thanks for the tutorial.
this is too cute! my niece may be getting a present.
What a great idea
what a cute idea!
what a great idea! my three grandchildren will love these.
THis is super cute. I love my new Clover bias tape maker and this is another use for it!
I see visions of my little niece in one of these! Off to the sewing machine for me!
I can’t even remember how I found your site, but I LOVE it! Thanks for all the information, I’ve got to go find stuff to cut up and sew now… lol
How Sweet! Reminds me of one that my mom made for me when I was little….a very long time ago.
I made this one for my son. Theres a photo and some things I would be more careful with here:http://nurseknits.blogspot.com/
New to your site, love the robe and bag tutorials.
Thanks for the clever tutorial!
Oh, I am so going to make this. Looks like something the kiddos can wear for a long time! Thanks for the tutorial.
Loved the turorial Autum shared for the cushions and the newest one for the pool robe is too darling
How cute. I might make that as a bathrobe.
This is adorable! I will definately be making one of these for my little girl
Brilliant! I see future gifting. . . .
This si a great idea – so useful for swimming lessons.
OMG! My 15 month old daughter just found a new love for the pool. I can’t wait to make one of these robes for my little Maddy fish! Thanks for the posting.

This is so cute that I am thinking to make a grow-up version!
I loved the colors!
LOVE it! What a great idea!
what a great idea!
this is adorable, and my little girl is just outgrowing her (store-bought) 2 that were gifts so I definitely want to try this out!
Nice. Very creative and I really love the ladybug!
What a cute idea, perfect for car rides home from the beach when you just do not want to put your shirts back on. Now to make my girls and me one
What a great idea. Can’t wait to try this.
This little robe looks like something I could whip up for my Grandson. Too cute!! Thank you for sharing.
Love the ladybug!
Super cute! I can’t wait to make some!
Super cute!
This is perfect for my current repurposing goals and a swim class must!
Love love love it. I just love great ideas, and this is a great idea. How many extra towels do I have? Definitely enough to make a gang of these. Of course a nice new blue one would be extra special, but I love reclaiming so watch out washed up ol’ towels im comin to get you!

A great idea and a timely post. I am making one and heading to the pool. Thank you!
Oh, this would be a wonderful gift for my granddaughters for Christmas! I LOVE it!! Thank you for the easy to understand tutorial too.
great idea! i always forget a towel and now she can just wear one!
This is wonderful and especially appropriate for us as my 3yo son has just started swimming lessons (and it’s winter here in Australia!)
What a neat idea. I almost didn’t open the link because it looked like a knit sweater and heaven help me if I try tackling knitting such a big project. This is actually cute and would be great for the right out of the pool or when wet and cool at the beach.
This is so cute and quick and easy to put together. I have made 3 to give as gifts and see many more in the future.
I bought some towels specifically to do something like this and have not done it yet!! Maybe I will put those towels to use and try it!! So cute. Thanks for sharing!!
My daughter is going to love this!
beautiful!
If came out soooo cute, thank you!!!
Ooooohhh so cute – so many great ideas, I can’t sew fast enough! But I love the inspiration all the same….I need a good clone or a diligent nanny quick.
I love this towel into bathing suit cover! My girls have swimming lessons next week, I hope to whip these up really quickly this weekend. Thanks for such a grreat idea.
I LOVE this pool robe. What a fantastic idea and awesome tutorial. Thank you so much. I know what I’m making for my granddaughter now for sure. I’ve already printed it out and will hopefully be able to buy some towels soon and make one for her. Thank you so much for the links to those fanstastic appliques and wonderfully done instructions too. I love the multi-level appliques, especially that octopus. Too cute.
Thanks again!
Awesome idea!! Can’t wait to try it!!
Thanks for this great tutorial. I hope I can find enough time to finish before we leave for the beach. It’ll be perfect for my little guy, I wonder if I can use a hooded towel …. hmmm. It might work. Thanks again.
What a lovely idea and perfect! I have a wedding shower to go to on a short notice. This is such an adorable project!
so, so cute! my four year old will love this
This is so darn cute and practical. A child can look good and dry off all at the same time. I will be making one or more of these for my grandchildren. Thanks so much for the “pattern”.
This is such a great idea! I’ll be making some for my little ones. Thanks for sharing this with us!
That’s such a cool idea! Thanks for the tutorial!

This is just what I’ve been needing for swim meets!
This is adorable! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Cute! Thanks for the tutorial!
I made so many of these when my children were small……this one is far more sophisticated-I should try it again with my grandchildren! Thanks for the info!
This is really cute! Can’t wait to try it.
Perfect for the wading pools, thanks!
What a cute pool robe. I love the contrast of that shade of blue with the red ladybug.
Toweltastic! can’t wait to make my own version….
Cute!
I love the way the lady bug looks like she’s glowing, at least at my computer screen! If only my little girl wasn’t afraid of the pool!
So cute. I’m gonna have to try it.
Oh, so cute. And looks so easy.
I am a newbie to the sewing world, and coming to your site has completely inspired me to get on my machine, on a number of occasions!!! Thank you so much for making sewing look easy and fun. This towel ideal is completely adorble, btw!! My 14month old daughter Emilie would looks edible in this!
So cute!! I love it….thanks for sharing.
Thanks! This is PERFECT for hot sumer days!
So cute!! These would make great gifts for kids who have summer birthdays! Thanks for the pattern!
I love this idea! YOu clever devil. My daughter will really enjoy making it with me.
Thanks!
How cute would any child be in that??? I ahve a challenge–Can you come up with something that would make THIS MAMA look cute getting out of the pool?

my two nieces live at the pool – I have to make them each one of these!
I think i can do a bigger one for myself!
hahaha
This is really cute! It seems like if you added a hood and sized it smaller, it would be a good baby gift!
I love it! Very inventive…
I love this!
Definitely need to make one of these for my little girl–no more blue lips at the pool for her! My big one would like one, too, but I’ll probably need to find an actual beach towel for her (read: tall).
this is so ridiculously cute, I can’t get over it!
What an awesome pattern!! I love the ladybug applique also. Gonna make a few of these for my grandchildren. Thanks a bunch!!

Sweet! I’m a huge fan of your site, and always marvel at how many of my Googled “sewing tutorials” lead me back here. Today, I searched for “child bathroom tutorial” and hit your site. Once again, thanks!
Great robe for the kids..Looks very simple and I am going to make some tonight..When I was little my mother made us kids towel robes and I loved mine .Wore it all the time at camp.I am glad I found out how to make them ,my Mom could not remember how..Thanks, Judy
this is an adorable idea! Can you make one for an adult???
I could really use this!!!!!!
I made one for my son and it’s adorable!! Fun idea – he’s 3 so I had to alter the measurements abit but what a cutie pie he is in it and now has a towel that fits
