4. Batting for towel top
5. Sewing Machine

2. Sew the bias binding on 3 sides of the towel except the top.

3. Place batting between the striped fabric and sew on 3 sides (leave one short side open) and criss-cross stitch in the center to quilt. Sew velcro strips near the open end.

4. Gather the top of the towel and tuck about an inch inside the open pocket of the padded topper. Top stitch it closed.

6. Machine appliqué face expressions cut from black fabric as done previously on the towel.

7. Sew bias binding on all 4 sides including a hanging loop on one corner.
