I have made several hooded towels as baby gifts through the years. Each time I go to my machine I pull up your video to refresh myself with your instructions. I love to look of the professional the end results. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us!
This is by far the very best technique that I've seen for a hooded towel! Love it! One thing that I changed is that, when attaching the hood to the towel, I started at the center and sewed toward the outside of the hood and then turned it around and did the other side. I did that so that it wouldn't bunch up in the center as you sew toward the center. It was a little awkward because I had to have the length of the towel to the right while sewing the reverse from the center. Just had to deal with the bulkiness. Thank you so much for the tutorial, Juju! Your designs are the best!
Lady, you have the best sewing room view in the WORLD! Thanks for the video. I'm totally doing my towel your way now. No ugly seams, nice finished look. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your video. When my son was a baby over 30 years ago, I was gifted a store bought hooded towel and I used that towel so much. Your towel is so much nicer. My cousin’s new baby will love this. 😊
I really liked this video. As an avid DbyJuJu shopper, I have several that would make adorable towel toppers. Now I know how to do the towel itself. Thank you! Will watch more...
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen with a nice finish, with hidden Seams I mean. I am no seamstress but for the towel edges not really matching when you do the self lining thing (which I find great) I would suggest drawing the line like at 8.25 and not really in the center: linings tend to show more because they have less room to fit in, like when you do pouches for the lining you should use a larger seam allowance to better accommodate the lining fabric, if the outside part is just a little bigger than the lining part, I feel when you match the bottom edges they would like up better. My preference is to add a little bias tape, I find it a nice decorative touch and this way you cannot see if everything matches really well. (Also where I live towels are 22’’ so I think I might try using some terry cloth and making a towel from scratch, which would have no finished edges) Thanks for sharing, I will use this method for my next towel ☺️
Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE that the hood is lined. That makes this so professional and soft on the person's head. I have a great grand- daughter to make this for and I think her mom would like one also for the beach. I have many of your designs and enjoy using them in my projects.
Genius!!!! I have struggled through so many towels - this is by far the easiest, most simple way to make a professional finished, lined towel! Love it! Thank you for the fantastic video! I’m going to buy towels now to make one!
This was a great tutorial and I am a seamstress and I love the finished look....I made one for my granddaughter and I hope she loves it!!! YOU ARE A SEAMSTRESS!!
I've made hooded bath towels for YEARS, but am about to make my first one with an embroidery design on it. So i decided to watch this tutorial and I am in love with this method!!!!!! I was always bothered by the raw edge. You have solved my dilemma. This is absolutely GENIUS! Thank you so much!
This is a great video and I love how you enclosed everything. I've made plain hooded towels for years for my granddaughters but this year I am adding peekers and your tutorial is just perfect, Thank you!
THANK YOU for such a great and EASY to follow instructional tutorial! I love that the hood is lined and the French seam gives the towel a polished finish.
I have watched many hooded towel tutorials and this is by far the best. I love that there are no open seams. Everything went together flawlessly. Thank you so much.
I am a Seamstress of 45 years and you did wonderful on this demo and want to say Thank You So Much, can't wait to start making them, Thank You for All of Your Wonderful Designs, I love them all and continuously purchase from you.
Thank you so much for saying I could do it, even if I didn't sew, I probably never would have tried. I also like that you could leave it with the design not in the position you intended and be human.... it really helps us newbies to keep trying! I love your designs and also all your helpful tutorials. I made a hooded towel for a very sick little boy and it made his day. God bless you !
Thank you for this lined version. I've made about 15 but never lined. I have six I'm getting ready to stitch. I love all your designs and every single one stitches out beautifully. Can't get enough of your designs and love your website.
I have been using your design in my videos and i absolutely love working with them. I love this tutorial, it was really helpful. And I will be trying it out. I going on your website to check out those designs. Another thing i love about your designs is that they usually come in bundles or sets. Thank you for a very helpful video.
I have been making hooded towels for at least 10 years now and make my own embroidery on them as I don't own an embroidery machine, but I really like how you make the towels with now seams showing or the embroidery showing. I have one I am making for my Granddaughters birthday and am so excited to make it the way you do. Thanks so much for showing us how to do this! I live in Canada and we don't have Target stores here anymore which I am so sad for, since they did have the best colour and thickness for making the hooded towels. Joan
Just made 6 of these and I love the tutorial! It's so easy to follow and the resulting towel is perfect, looks finished and hood is not floppy like so many I've seen. Thanks so much!!
I have spent hours looking for an in the hoop design. This is finally what I’m looking for! I’m so excited to make this for my new baby girl first great granddaughter! Of course I will change the colors to a soft pink.
Thank you for this great video. Even after watching your video, I was still hesitant. I was afraid I could not do it correctly. After watching your video several times, I decided if you and others could do it, so could I. I've now made 4 hooded towels for my grandchildren. It was quicker and easier than I thought it would be. Thank you again!!!
What a great tutorial! I've made hooded towels in the past with a different method. I love your method! The lined hood is key! I love the way you do that French seam too. I can't wait to dig out my towel stash and try some of these.
Thank You SOOO much for the tutorial. Getting ready to make my first hoody for my grandson and yours look nicer and more professional than other I have seen. You made it very easy to understand and to follow along.
thank you. I have always wanted to make some of these for my grandchildren but was scared because I thought that it was a very involved process. Watching you and your technique made it so much easier for me. Thanks again!
OMG! This is sooo cute! And EASY! You have done such a great job of instruction, and the finished product looks so professional. By far, the best instruction video out there for hooded towels! Thank-you so much for sharing your knowledge! Great job!!
You did a great job! I love it - especially the professional touches, french seems and the embroidery covered on the inside - most of the other hooded baby towels don't look so professional, going to try this for my niece's baby (shhh grand niece???) I don't get to the stores so wish me luck for ordering the towels online.
Wonderful as always. I don't know why there are any other embroidery offers out there. DBJJ is so great. You have a design for every occasion. I'm so glad I found you at least 8 years ago. Thank you. Please keep up the great designs. ❤💕
Thanks so much for this video! You did a great job making this so I could understand. I will actually try to make these for my 3 youngest grandkids now. They are going to love them.
I just finished my first hooded towel thanks to you! Best instructions and love the finished look of the lined hood AND the nice look of the hidden seam. I'm now off to do a different design on my second hooded towel! Not only is the technique great but your instructions are too!
Thank you for this video. I like the covered stablizer and seams.What I learned for next time: my animal face was 6" high x 9" wide. When I turned the hood right side out I lost the cat's ears. Makes her look like shes got her ears back and is mad! #2 is that Costco towels are really thick and with the multiple layers of towel, most machines probably wont be able to sew through them. Thanks again.
Been holding off doing the towels but I now see how easy it actually is. Thank you for the fantastic video! Will tackle a few tomorrow. So much appreciated!
You know what I've been doing? I load the design into my software and print a copy of the design with crosshairs. Then I tape it to the exact spot I want to stitch it on the hooped project. I use the "move" feature to move the hoop exactly where I want it based on the taped design. Then I pull off the taped design and stitch. Not sure if that made sense but it works great for me!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I got a couple of sets of towels today and bought my topper designs and can't wait to make these for our granddaughter. You've made this tutorial look super easy so I've got great confidence in giving it a try. I bet Charlie loved his towel. Thanks again.
Great video Julie, I just posted a picture of the one I did on your Facebook page. Great instructions! Thank you! See you on the Sew and Sail Cruise in May 2025!!
I really enjoyed this video partially because of the topic but mostly because of the individual doing the video. I loved her down-to-earth straight talking & walking through the instructions -- I don't know her name but I hope she has more instructional videos from Designs By JuJu -- thank you & have a great day!

Thank you for the easy to follow instructions! My granddaughter will love her new hooded towel.
Love the lined hood. Great job.
Your son Jake is doing a great job. I love this tutorial. You are so real. Thank you.
By far the most professional looking towel. I like encasing the embroidery design so it doesn't show the back and it is much softer. Thank you!
Thats adorable!!! You did a great job!!! I'm also a grandma and our grandbabies don't see imperfections all the see and love is what we give them..
OMG!! It's so much easier than I had imagined. Thanks Juju!!
Thank you for these directions. My hooded towels went together so easily. The kids are thrilled!!!
This is one of the best hooded towel video out there. Thank you so much
Made a towel for grandson tonight... it turned out lovely... thank you!
Such a nice job - easy to follow and our great grandsons will love the cuddle these hooded towels provide!
Beautiful job. I love the bath towel. Thanks for the idea.❤
Fantastic technique and instructions! I love that the appliqué back is hidden. Thank you for sharing! :)
This is adorable! I love the peeker designs! Finally know how to make the hooded towels!

Great tutorial. I love the way you finished it to hide the raw edges and doubled the hood to finish the applique side. Thanks

This is awesome! I just purchased a Baby Lock Alliance and I'm excited to try to make one of these! Thank you so much!
I really like the way you finished this towel vs the way others sew their seams. I will be trying this way ! Thank you!
