How to make it...
Measure and cut a towel to fit your child.
Be sure to preserve 2 of the hemmed hedges on the towel. A good starting
point is around 17 inches long and wide enough to fit around the kid's waist
with 5 inches overlap. Remember the length will need to be adjusted based
on your child's height.
Next, fold over each of the cut edges and seal
them with fusible bonding web.
For a fastener use a large yarn needle or
scissors to make 2 holds about 1/4 inch apart near one upper corner. Slip
the ends of the 8 inch piece of elastic through the holes and then knot them.
Wrap the cover up around
your child's waist and mark the spot to put the large button to hold the loop in
place and secure the cover up. Once marked remove from child and sew on
the button.
Now it is
time to be creative: Use fabric glue to add your decorations: fringe, ribbon,
lace etc...
ENJOY
