DIY: Super Easy Burp Cloth Tutorial

Ok so I think every baby deserves something hand made with them in mind. So I when my friends or family go into labor I always do burp cloths. Trust me you can never have enough burp cloths. A friend went into labor and so I whipped these up real quick and took pictures so you can see my process. It does require a serger, if you don't have one you can just use a zig-zag stitch all the way around.

 I purchased those fat quarters from Joanns. Well actually my son picked this bunch out and *paid* for it (he gave the cashier my debit card. I ironed it nice and flat.

 Folded it in half and cut it length wise.

 Then I cut the same shape out of terry cloth and ironed it.

 I pinned the two together WRONG SIDES FACING and rounded the edges.

 I just went over the edges with my serger.

 Sewed on my tag and viola, you are done. I made 3 of them for the gift set.

Here are all three.

This shows the underside.

This is nicely folded and wrapped with some pretty ribbon.

Leave me a comment if you have any questions or suggestions. 

Cup Cozy

I drink coffee every morning and some kind of tea at night. I have these brown cups that my god mother gave me they are a perfect size and are a neutral color so they match with everything, only problem is they don't hold the heat in very well so I needed something to keep my hands from burning when I drink my coffee and tea. I came across this pattern on Ravelry and decided to make one for my cup. I plan on making more, I was thinking I can do different colors for the different holidays like pink for Valentine's, green for St. Patricks Day, you get the idea. Enjoy!!!
