It's been sooo very hot here in Hotlanta, except for playing golf in the early morning 2 days a week, I'm spending all my time indoors. So besides
rehab-ing chairs, I've been doing a bit of sewing. I needed some baby gifts and decided to embellish a much used baby item... burp cloths! I also made a matching bag to use as wrapping for the burp cloth gift.
I started with colorful fabric:
and a package of cloth diapers:
I cut 5" wide strips of the fabric and sewed it to the diaper at both ends:
I sewed the corners and turned them right-side out enclosing the end of the diaper, turned under the long raw edge, and zigzag stitched the edge closed.
Voila! Two burp cloths in a coordinating gift bag...
... ready for the new baby!
So... of course I had to make some for my sweet grandson and...
... I decided to embellish them a bit using my Brother Embroidery machine.
Very Preppy, don't you think?!
For this sweet boy here...
who lights up my life {heart}
xoxox, love Hattie
Oh!! I love the way that turned out!!!!! Thanks momma! Can't wait to use them ;)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, LOVE! I am so envious of yourwonderful projects. I love to sew; I just really can't do much. I would really love to have an embroidery machine; you mentioned that you have a Brother - is it complicated? Was it terribly expensive?

ReplyDeleteAny creative ideas for a teenage girl golfer who just made the boys team? ;o)
My mom and I are off today to try and find a suitable "uniform" for her. The boys one was gigantic on her.
Those are cute burp cloths.
