DIY beach towel poncho tutorial

[@user-cv1ol1eo3j]

Thanks for introducing the fiskars ruler and cutter combo! Never seen it before. I ordered one immidiately! 😊

[@mirahalpern9217]

Love this video, and especially love that it is British, not American.❤😊

[@karennelson4070]

I made one by feel, as well. It took me two weeks before I had the guts to cut out the neck hole. I don't sew regularly so it was a bit scary. LOL
I LOVE MINE! It's great for going to the wild hot springs or the pool. :-D

[@kindle7191]

I will be making my second poncho today! I have 2 new beach towels ready. The first one I made was very popular. Thanks again to you and your Mum.

[@ClobberCreations]

I've just had a look at your video - love the towels you used 😀

[@lynngoodenough44]

What a great instructive video!! I'm going to use it to make swim robes for my children (in swim training 3 times a week and unable to use changing rooms at the moment), as I can't afford DryRobes! Will use waterproof ripstop material backed with fleece so it will keep them warm as well as protect my car seats! Thank you!

[@ClobberCreations]

Really pleased to hear that - glad you found the video useful 😊

Have just finished making your towel poncho out of two towels I got cheap in the sale, I love it! Thank you so much for sharing this, it will be perfect for my sea swimming now its getting warmer! Thank you!

[@ClobberCreations]

Brilliant! I'm glad it was useful 😃

[@kindle7191]

I'm going to try making one this weekend! Thanks from Vancouver Island, Canada.

[@ClobberCreations]

Hope you enjoy making one! 😀

[@ninaspalace]

Thanks . This is just what I am wanting for my swimming.

[@ClobberCreations]

Thanks, hope it helps! We enjoyed making it.

[@nettysisters]

Thanx, this was a very good guide. I still had to play around with the hood measurements and the neck opening. Like you I got there in the end.

[@ClobberCreations]

That's great! Yes the hood is tricky but so worth it once you get it right 😃 I keep meaning to make another!

[@kathysch.7477]

[@lilliantaylor1493]

Thsnk you for this x

[@lisacoopernz]

Great video. Enjoyed watching your process. Can you tell me where you got your seam allowance tool. Looks very handy!

[@ClobberCreations]

Thanks - the seam allowance tool is the Milward seam gauge - I got it in a local haberdashery shop but it looks like it's the same price on Amazon. It's very handy, and stops me accidentally melting plastic measuring tapes...

[@katielench2308]

Love this! Is there room to get changed underneath this poncho?

[@ClobberCreations]

Yes, I'd say it's roomy enough, but you could always test out the dimensions with an old bed sheet first!

[@cornishkate9086]

Thanks! It's always cold in the sea down here!

[@ClobberCreations]

Yes it is! It's very handy to have something to throw on after a dip in the sea here.

[@sueb4919]

Just wondering why you sewed the side seams wrong sides together? Is the external seam not a issue?

[@ClobberCreations]

Hi Sue, I chose wrong sides together as I was using the already finished edges of two towels and I felt it would reduce bulk, but that is a good point if you end up with raw edges if your towel started off too big or you are using towelling fabric. I would probably seal the raw edges with bias binding and still stitch wrong sides together but you could overlock and stitch right sides together.

very nice

[@ClobberCreations]

Thanks

Filmen går för fort rörig när ni är två idén är bra

[@ClobberCreations]

I had to speed up sections of the make or it would have been a very long video! However, you might find reducing the playback speed on youtube helpful - it's under settings on the video.
Also, you might find the blog post I wrote alongside it helpful as this has written guidance and my basic diagrams to follow: bit.ly/32wgKVZ
