Easy Baby Bath Robe

I made this tiny little bath robe for the kid and you can see he’s not too happy posing in it.:-) But it was a fun project really.

It’s actually made from two towels – one regular sized (small, actually) and the other a hand towel – both of the same colour. I used the larger one for the body and the smaller one for the hood.

The project involved very little cutting and sewing. In fact the only cutting was for the armholes – just two straight cuts, no shaping. The sewing included attaching the hood to the body and finishing the armholes.

The model was no help – he would absolutely not let me wrap the towel around him to see where the armholes would go. So I just roughly decided where to place them. They were finished with some satiny material for the piping.

You can see that the seams are on the outside. This is because I used the finished edges of the towels as they were and sewn up, they would be bulky, so better outside than in. I didn’t add buttons or tie or anything, the idea is to simply use it like a wrap. But they shouldn’t really be difficult make.

So, here we are, baby bath robe – an easy, one afternoon project.
