Spit Up In Style

I've decided to share a little of the projects I've been working on. Let me explain a few things first.
1. I do not claim to be a professional seamstress.
2. I really don't have time to be doing these projects.
3. I only sew projects that include straight lines.
4. If I can do this, anyone can do this.
5. Both my children are napping at the same time (rarely happens) and I should be asleep right now instead of blogging.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here are some pictures of my latest goodies.

Designer burp cloths. My floors are not mopped but goodness sakes my child will spit up in style.



All starts with some yummy coordinating material and good quality burp cloths. I prefer Chinese pre-fold. I am not a big fan of birds-eye, but to each their own.



Here is my attempt at some ragged burp cloths. Take 2 layers of flannel and 1 layer of cotton and sew them together. Leave enough space along the edges to cut with sharp scissors. After several washes in the machine, the ragging process with start. These are super cute and super easy!! You'll want to crash a baby shower just to give these away.







Here is a ragged binky blanket. Just take 4 squares and apply the same process. My little baby loves to slobber on the raggy parts. See, it doubles over as a burp cloth and teething blanket. Busy moms can certainly relate to an item that can multi-task!

Here are longer ragged burp cloths. There is no rhyme or reason to this pattern. I just cut a bunch of shapes and sewed them together. I love projects that are ultra forgiving of my mistakes.

Here is my latest project I got from here. Burp cloths with chenille backing. So easy and pretty. These are just rectangles. See, get yourself some awesome fabric and a decent camera and you can pretend to know what you are doing just like me!

I love this because I'm not the only girl that sews only straight lines.



My newest addition are these personalized labels. I love love love them. It is so special to me being able to remember who gifted me with homemade items and I figured this is a great way to do the same. The labels are not about recognition, by any means, but just a simple touch to remember.

There it is. Simple and super easy and a great gift for anyone expecting a baby.
