So over the weekend I started sewing again.....it's been at least 10 years since I have completed a sewing project. We have a baby shower next weekend, so I decided to sew some simple burp cloths. I dusted off my sewing machine and decided to give it a try.
I bought the Gerber prefold cloth diapers, as I have heard these make great burp cloths. I got the cloth diapers at Target for about $8.00
I had some left over cute fabric from previous project. I always prewash my fabric prior to any project, it helps with shrinkage and color bleeding.
1. Started by ironing the prefolded diapers.
2. I cut my fabric to size. Depends on how wide you want your fabric strip on the burp cloth and remember to account for the seam (used a 1/2 inch seam)
3. After cutting the fabric to size, then iron the fabric
4. I then fold my seams and iron them flat and pin the fabric to the cloth diaper....now it's ready to sew!
My finished project! They are not prefect, but not too bad considering I haven't sewed in sooo many years.
