Surprise

I'm surprising a friend with some burp cloths made out of the extra fabric she used in her nursery.

Gift

I finished a nursing cover and two burp cloths the other day for a good friend. They're having a baby boy but mom likes pink. So, I didn't use matching fabric for the two. Just a reminder that the nursing cover is for mama and doesn't have to be gender specific.

Polka Dots and More

I gave a friend a couple of unbleached burp cloths as a baby gift a couple of months ago and she recently requested more.

These were my boy fabrics.
These were my girl fabrics. I know they're not too girly, but that's kind of how I like it.

Silent Auction Donation

A friend recently asked me to make a donation to the Cedar Rapids Concert Chorale for a silent auction fundraiser. Here are the burp cloths I made. Sylvia has really enjoyed "helping" me sew recently. Her job, while I worked on these, was to put the pins away when I was finished with them. She started sticking them in the ends of my spools of thread and making "balloons."

Unbleached Burp Cloths

When I couldn't find the white cloth diapers I like at Walmart or Target, I decided to order some of the unbleached diapers we use for Sylvia. They're slightly larger than the white ones and they have a more natural look to them because they are unbleached. Some of my fabrics look a lot better on the unbleached diapers as you can see from these two.

Something for the boys

Here are some recent baby boy burp cloths I made.

Just for Girls

Here's my most recent order...12 girly burp cloths. Hobby Lobby has some great new fabrics available.

Red Flowers

I finished this one awhile back and recently sold it to a college friend. It is now on it's way to PA.

Baby Blues

I love this fabric. The same pattern comes in a few different colors so next time there's a sale I'm going to stock up. I did buy enough of this to make two nursing covers to if you like it as much as I do let me know. This one's for a friend who just had a little boy last week. Sylvia has started "helping" me sew. She likes sitting on my lap while I'm at the machine and playing with the pins.

Baby Girl Burp Cloths

Here is a special order of baby girl burp cloths. It was fun but difficult for me to pick out girly fabric that didn't have to work for a nursing cover too. I really like how they turned out. The black fabric is my favorite.


I bought extra fabric so if anyone is looking for a baby girl gift let me know. Hopefully I'll get to the fabric store to stock up on some boy fabric.

Line 'Em Up

This fabric bolt was just shy of the 1.25 yards of fabric I need to make a nursing cover and matching burp cloth but I could not pass it by. I think I might do more with linear because it looks so clean when you're done. With only a sliver of fabric left over after completing the nursing cover I had to modify the burp cloth, but I ended up liking it a lot with the single strip down the middle.
