Sew An Easy Athletic Hanging Towel

8/3/2019

My husband reminded me yesterday about a very simple project I did for him.   I didn't realize how much he liked this hanging towel until he mentioned it to me. I have made several hanging towel versions for him and each one hangs a different way because he uses them in different places.  This particular one is for his boat rails. 
Picture
This version is shorter when it hangs up but it is also much more substantial than one that is clipped on from the corner.  He says that while fishing, it stays on his rail very well and the folds make it thicker for easy wiping.
Picture
All you need is a hand towel that is longer than it is wide and some leftover Velcro. Here we have a piece about four inches long.
Picture
I usually fold the towel into the middle and place the Velcro a distance apart for the area he will be hanging it from.  So make sure you measure before sewing just to be sure it will fit.
Picture
I use a matching bobbin because you will be sewing from the back and that thread will be seen on the front of the towel. The pile will help hide it but you want to match it as best as you can.
Picture
Also, lengthen your machine stitches a bit. I used a 3.5 mm length because my towel and Velcro were thick. You can see that the stitching will sew the towel together. This helps it stay very neat while hanging and the folded areas make it quite sturdy.

Here it is hanging on a Day Cooler. Can you see yourself using a towel like this for picnics, fishing and camping trips or those ball games?  I think a golfer and motorcycle enthusiast would love them also. I have a short video below  showing all of the steps so that you can make your own Easy Athletic Hanging Towel. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
