There is disclosed a method of finishing lengthwise both ends of a towel fabric by sewing after automatically forming a three-ply part on each and, and an apparatus for practicing this method. At each end of the towel fabric, a first part and a second part to wrap up the first part are folded automatically in turn so as to form a three-ply part including the above two parts and a ground fabric part. Selvages extending outwardly slightly farther than crosswise both ends of the first and the second parts are formed on both ends of the ground fabric part of the three-ply part. The three-ply part thus provided with selvages is stitched from one selvage side to the other with sewing thread so that automatic folding and sewing of the three-ply part can be performed without causing the crosswise end of the first and the second folded parts to jut out from crosswise both ends of the towel fabric.
