Sewing Saturday

This post is really late. I kind of forgot I wanted to write it until now. I hope you’re all having a wonderful Saturday! It’s been below freezing and snowy and gloomy today so we’ve stayed in and played games and read books. I finished my 3rd book of the month:) Woohoo! I love it when I find a book series that I just can’t get enough of. Once I’ve finished reading them it feels so good, but it’s also a little sad because I’m done with them… I can always read them again though, which I plan on doing.

Anyway, I have so many sewing projects I need to be working on right now, but this week I started a new challenge along with Crazy Little Projects. She gave a project so of course I just had to give it a try. I made 6 burp cloths yesterday and I plan on selling them in my etsy shop as soon as I get better pictures of them!

First I cut the flannel fabric I had to 20″x9″, then I pinned it onto the burp cloth. I got the burp cloths at Walmart for $13.34 for a 10 pack. Don’t buy them at target if you decided to do this project! I went there after Walmart and for a 10 pack at Target they cost $16.99!! I couldn’t believe that! So, I went back to Walmart to buy the 10 pack!:P

Here are the first 2 I finished. The first one I did with blue thread and decided I didn’t like it as much so I used off white thread on the second one.

Here I am sewing the project together.

This is the other side of the burp cloth. I don’t know if you can tell, but this is the one I used blue thread on.

I did 2 of each different kind of fabric so I could put them in a 3 pack for my Etsy shop.

I folded in the white edges to make them look all pretty.

And tied a ribbon around them for a nice presentation.

I really like how they turned out! And they were so easy to make. I think it took me maybe an hour to do all of it, cutting, pinning and sewing.
