I've been working on some fun things, burp cloths for a baby shower I'm invited to. Following
this tutorial from TheThinking Closet, it was so easy and fast. All the little tips she gave were great! I used Gerber Premium cloth diapers.

For example, using the cardboard for a template to create a straight fold. |

Using the walking foot edge as a guide. |

Works on both sides. |

I left about an inch of fabric to fold over. Press down about a quarter of an inch and pin. |

Pinned and ready to sew. |

All finished. |
The center fabric is "Ticklish" by Me & My Sister Designs. The other two are flannels from Northcott, no designer or fabric name was listed. Great baby gift! Go check out the blog I used!

Very nice, and thanks for the tip blog! What a sharing world, right?
Love your burp cloths Karen,they are so sweet! Checked out your link...and pinned the Rhinestone Onesie,tutorial she has. This will make a great gift for my new great nephew!
I was already planning on sending a set of burp cloths,and the onesie will round out the gift!
Have a great weekend :)
These are very cute! Makes a great gift.
I love those! I am wanting to make some for Carrie & Michael, but have been a slow poke! Collin is due 8/18...so I can't be slow for much longer!!
