Easter Egg Golf Towel Tutorial

Most golf accessories are boring designs oriented towards men. With the exception of a very few boutique shops targeted at women, we’re pretty much stuck with such lackluster items as golf towels.

Here’s a golf towel that expresses one’s femininity in a practical way as well as celebrating springtime in a representation of an Easter egg. One side is chenille (terry toweling may also be used) for scrubbing clubs or golf balls and the other side is for drying—factors important on the course.

I’m tickled that FaveCrafts invited me to submit a project for their Blogger Easter Craft eBook and featured my tutorial here. You can also get a PDF version here or in my Tutorials sidebar.

Easter Egg Golf Towel Tutorial

Supplies

• 1 piece of cotton fabric (I used a mid-weight decorator fabric that’s washable) approximately 20-inches square.
• 1 piece of chenille (or terry toweling) fabric in the same size
• 1½ yards of cotton twill tape ¾-inch to 1-inch wide in a color complementing your fabrics
• Thread to match fabrics
• Water-soluble marking pen
• Dritz Grommet Kit, 7/16-inch
• Metal golf towel (or shower) hanger

Instructions

Step 1: Cut your fabrics into an egg shape, approximately 13-inches wide by 18½-inches in length. The smaller top part of the “egg” will be the top of your towel. I just drew a free-hand egg shape with a water-soluble marking pen.

Step 2: Place fabrics with wrong sides together. Pin in place. Stitch 1/8-inch from edge to secure.

Step 3: Fold twill tape in over the edge of your towel, pinning in place as you navigate around the circumference. Sew close to edge of tape (towards main body of towel). You can sew by machine or hand. I chose the latter as I wanted the stitches to be invisible.

Step 4: Following grommet instructions, insert grommet at the center of the top of the towel about ½-inch away from the bottom edge of the twill binding trim.

Step 5: Insert your towel ring and attach your pretty new towel to your golf bag. Then get outdoors and enjoy springtime with a great round of golf.

Ah, spring is a grand time and, since my new towel matches my golf head covers, I can go out and play a round in all my girlie splendor.
