Quality terrycloth?
 
I am looking to buy some quality terrycloth fabric for some baby hooded towel gifts. Where do you recommend purchasing quality terrycloth fabric? Is there a better time of year to buy? Would love to see your hooded towel pictures.

I noticed Fabric.com has terry cloth. It is not something that I have bought in the past. But if you do not like it they will take it back. They have wonderful customer service.

I have never seen good quality towel fabric. It always seems to be thin. Have you thought about finding some finished towels that you love and using those? So I visited Mr Google and found these instructions. She uses a large towel and half of a hand towel to make her hooded baby towel. https://www.instructables.com/id/Hooded-Baby-Towel/

Barb, thanks for finding that darling pattern.

Fabric.com does have some nice terrycloth fabrics and as mentioned before great customer service. I would also consider using regular towel of the weight you want and cutting your pattern from those.

I was also going to suggest a terry towel. I've seen a lot of cute, free patterns on the web. Just do a web search on "hooded baby towel wrap pattern" & you will find lots of patterns & ideas.

ijust went to Walmart and got towels and washcloths there.
it was nice because the edges were finished.
