I am looking for a pattern from way back that took two towels and they were sewed together to make a bed jacket. My grandmother made these but I don't have the pattern or jacket now. Hope someone can help me Deb | | | | | Moderator Points: 24,322, Level: 68 | Level up: 69%, 578 Points needed |

Janome Forums - Towel Jacket
This is all I could find, maybe if you chatted with this person they would share what they have and maybe you can figure it out for her and yourself!!

My mom used to make those a long long time ago. I remember she used fringed towels and the fringe was on the bottom of the jacket and sleeves. I will see if I can remember to ask next time I talk to her but I doubt if she still has the pattern. She hasn't sewn in years and she doesn't like clutter so is always throwing things away. I don't hold out much hope of her having it or remembering how to do it, but I can try.
Didn't find that one online, but I did find this. It's kind of cute. Jiffy Beach Cover-Up Made From An Old Towel | | | | | Moderator Level up: 33%, 284 Points needed |

Well, I've been looking and haven't found much, but I did find this..... How To Make a Pareo - Free Sewing Pattern and Instructions for Easy Wrap Zorro Cloak Maybe you could come up with something from this basic pattern. maybe stitch 2 towels together in the back where it indicates the fabric is supposed to be "folded".
I seem to remember seeing one of those towel jackets in our house when I was a kid too. Don't know if my mom made it or not, but she would probably remember it. She used to sew A LOT when I was little. She made practically all of my clothes. She might even remember how to make one of these jackets. I'll try to remember to ask. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to bartkowski mom For This Useful Post: | | | Junior Member Level up: 25%, 55 Points needed |
