AW'ing my weekend project...pip's

So after asking some new moms what they didn't get that they would have loved to, they all said burp rags.  Makes sense...I never thought of that for my soon to be grandson either!  So I searched the internet for some cute patterns and found just a rectangle with terrycloth on the "burp" side, and some cute fabrics on the other.  SO simple!  Mine were cut to 11X17.  But lets be honest...with my crappy cutting they ended up more of a 10X16.  I found some CHEAP fabric at walmart!  (think $2 per yard so I got a half yard of all fabrics) and the terry cloth at Joanns with their 50 % off coupon so each burp cloth ended up costing a total of 97 CENTS!  I like the way they came out and I am storing them at my grandmas and she LOVES them!  (she said I'm so crafty...I told her flattery will get her lunch!  :) 

So anywho....here's the pips....and yes...the bud light in the background helped!  ;)

  • Ro that's pretty cool!!  Did you use a sewing machine to put them together?  I really wish I was crafty, but I suck at most craft related things :)
  • yeah, I got a machine not too long ago...couple months maybe??  It's straight stitching so it's extremely simple!  Pretty much dummy proof which I guess is why I was able to do it!  lol
  • haha, I don't even own a sewing machine :)  I don't know where I'd put it anyway :)

    I do make coasters so maybe I do have some sort of crafty bone :)

  • I have a shelf in my front entry closet it goes on when I'm not using it.  I have NO room for a sewing machine table so it gets packed away each time!  then I just use it on my desk when I need to use it.  I will be making a tutorial next time I make some for my blog.  (which I dont think is on here...) So I will update that soon! 
  • That's a great idea, good job!!
