burp cloth

I've been thinking a lot about how burp cloths have to be super easy to make...so I decided to take a stab at it myself. What really prompted me to do so was the fact that I was at a baby shower last weekend and my sister in law received a few cute ones as gifts - one of which was homemade by my husband's aunt (really adorable). Here is my take on the "much needed if you have a baby" burp cloth...

Here is what you'll need:

2 different pre-washed fabrics (one of mine was a soft terry cloth)

a CD (or something else round)

Fusible web (optional - can't decide if it made my burp cloth too stiff...)

Usual sewing stuff

little man hat

There isn't much of anything that is cuter than a little guy in a hat. When my aunt asked if I would make a hat for my cousin's soon-to-be 2 year old, I was excited to take a stab at a sewn hat (I've always made her knit hats in the past). I think for my first hat it turned out cute...and I can't wait to see it on his sweet little head this winter.

(amount depends on hat size you’re making)

A small piece of embroidery floss or string 

(to secure your pom on top)

Scissor, cutting mat, rotary cutter, etc.

Pencil or white charcoal to mark fabric
