Is it stretch terry or terry like for towels?

You said you're not good at sewing, but do you own a machine?

If it were me, I would make towels using my serger's rolled hem foot. If you have a sewing machine, you could do the same using a zig zag stitch (prevents fraying).

If I had stretch terry, I would make small newborn sleepers and donate them to charity.

You could also make swimsuit coverups or bathrobes.

I always make stuffed toys from terry cloth. . . they wash and wear great!

Also robes for little ones, bibs, etc.

~I'd make sanitary pads with it,or cloth diaper liners, or wet wipes for the bathroom. These ideas can save you money. Or if you're stumped, try selling it.~

you can also make braided bathroom mats. http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_home_acc...237181,00.html

See if you have a zig zag stitch on your machine. That will work just as well as a serger
