If you are like me, you have a lot of friends who are pregnant or have recently had babies. It's just that time of life, I suppose, in the late 20's. I found this little project as a really easy way to make a great gift that is personalized and special. It does require sewing skills, but bare minimum! I've included some step by step photos, as well as a video for you, if you want to watch it...it's long.
1. Buy a package of burp cloths (Wal-Mart or Target).
2. Buy some soft fabric, like flannel (1/2 yard is plenty for 2).
3. Iron the burp cloth.
4. Measure burp cloth.
5. Measure fabric (see, it's way bigger than the burp cloth).
6. Cut the fabric to be 1/2 in to 1 inch larger on all sides than the burp cloth.
7. Lay the fabric, pretty side down, on the burp cloth. Pin, if you so desire.
8. Sew up 1 long side, then 1 short side, then back down the other long side, then about 2/3rds the way down the last short side.
9. Turn right side out. Use finger or chopstick to push the corners out.
10. Sew up the last section on the outside, then continue sewing all around the perimeter of the fabric and burp cloth (1/4 to 1/2 inch seam).
11. Finished!
*Of course, you can frill them up or try something different. This is just the basic idea of this project.
Have a very happy Saturday!
