This week's post shows all of the burp rags I've made for people who either have recently had a baby or are expecting. It was fun to pick out the fabric and was also nice to use some of the fabric I had leftover from other projects over the past few months.
I explained in detail how I make the burp rags back in my Week 6 post, so this week's post will only show the pictures I took along the way. Because I've made these so much, it only took me a few hours on a weekend afternoon to complete these.
First I laid out all of my fabric and the related burp rags to match up which ones coordinated best with each other.
Next I laid out all of the colored cloth diapers. I am pretty excited that I found out Walmart now carries colored fabrics! Jo-Ann's was the only place I could find them, and the closest Jo-Ann's is a good 20-25 minute drive from my house. Walmart is only 5 mins from my office so that was good to know.
I've used this fabric before but I was happy to have more of it as I just love this pattern!
Here are some of the finished products. The rags on the left are for my friend expecting a baby boy this summer. Her and her husband are sports enthusiasts so I thought they would like the sports theme.
The rags in the middle were for a friend of a friend who like camouflage and sports and are having a baby boy. I couldn't find any real camo fabric at the fabric store so I opted for a more natural camo pattern.
And the rags on the end are for one of Jake's friends who just had triplets! And yes just saying the word makes me tired! :) They had 2 girls and a boy so I thought I would give them 2 of each kind.
Another look at them all! This is such an easy and useful (from what I've been told) gift for a new or expecting parent. I'm sure this won't be my last time making them!
I love the pattern on the light pink rag. And yes, these are GREAT gifts!
