    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.

    More ideas:

    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.

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