apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

• Start by cutting a circle in the towel big enough for your child's head to fit through but not so big that the smock will slide off their shoulders.

• Next, sew the circle you just cut with fabric to prevent fraying and finally add elastic strips to the sides of the towel, under the arm area.

• You're done and have created a quick smock by recycling old materials that also withstands frequent washings!

One optional step is to sew a plastic loose leaf ring on one of the shoulders for easy hanging of your new child's new smock.
