Beach Ponchos

Tatertots and Jello recently had a guest tutorial from The Funky Polkadot Giraffe. I love both of these blogs! The tute was for a Hooded Beach Poncho. At first, I thought I might just file it away in my "someday" pile, but then I read these words:

We have swimming lessons starting in a week and one thing that drives me crazy is the dragging of the towels across the parking lot or the crying 2 year old because she can't keep her towel on and she's "freezing". The insanity!!!!

My kids always complain about how cold they are when they get out of the pool and this is the perfect solution! Therefore, I knew I had to make some.





I added a little bit of fabric trim to mine though. Rockets for Finn (orange towel OF COURSE):



And some polka dots for Kiki:



Doubles as loungewear!
