This TUTORIAL might bore you sewers out there. This sewing project would definitely fit in the "beginners" category. But those who like step-by-step instructions for even the easiest project, read on...
What you'll need:
Chenille fabric
Cotton or flannel fabric
Sewing machine
Start by cutting out your fabric. The size of my rectangles were about 9 1/4" x 14 1/2". One side of the burp cloth will be chenille and the other either cotton or flannel. I got my cotton fabric from a girl in my ward who sells designer fabrics. Check out her stuff! HBfabrics, on Facebook and etsy. She had so many cute fabrics, it was hard to pick just a few! I like to give a package of 3 burp cloths, each with a different fabric for variety.
With right sides together, sew around the edges.
I like to round the corners. You can draw on the fabric for your guide or just eyeball it.
Leave about a 3" hole on one side so you can flip the fabric right side out.
Trim the edges.
Turn right side out by pushing all the fabric through your 3" hole.
Iron the edges flat.
Sew the hole closed.
That's all there is to it! I like to roll up the burp cloths and tie them together when I give them.
I made 3 girl sets and 3 boy sets. I'm all set! If you're a friend or family member who's pregnant try to be surprised when you receive this when you have your baby :)

ReplyDeleteThey joggle from the office of being wives to that of being mothers and being CEOs of companies. Many women in the cooperate world do not find it easy to climb the cooperate ladder, not because they are in any way less intelligent or less qualified than their male counterparts, but simply because of the unfortunate stereotype that they are women.cleaning cloth
