It's summer and therefore: time for the beach!
No more sticky sandy lines between your beachtowels anymore with the Towel for Two!
Easily button up your towels together to get a perfect kingsized towel for 2.
The towels also have a pocket at the top in which you can store your clothes thereby transforming the pocket automatically into a pillow! Also handy to store your belongings in when you are going for a swim and you don't want to keep your valuables exposed!

So if you want to be comfortable, cosy, stylish and sand free this summer: follow the following steps and make your very own towel for two!




Step 1: What You Need:

2 Towels of 80cm x 160cm
1 Towel large enough to cut 2 pieces of 40cm x 50cm from
Cotton Fabric
9 Larger buttons
4 Smaller buttons
Ruler
Pins
Chalk
Needle and Thread
Sewing machine
Iron

You can use whatever towel size you want, but further measurements given in this tutorial apply to the above measurements.




Step 2: Take Two Beach Towels of the Same Size or Cut Two From a Larger Towel Fabric

cut two towels with a measurement of 80cm cm x 160cm




Step 3: Cut Out Two Smaller Pieces

Cut two pieces from another towel, preferably a different colour than your large beach towels.
These pieces should measure 40cm x 50cm.

TIP: Its easier to draw one out, fold over, pin together and cut 2 in one go! This saves time and you're sure to have two of equal size.




Step 4: Cotton Fabric Strips

Cut a large strip of fabric with a width of 15cm for the larger towels
and a width of 10cm for the smaller ones.
