Fancy Baby Burp Cloths, Cloth Diapers

I found another cute baby idea awhile back and found time to try it out recently.

You may remember I had purchased some supplies - well, here's what I've been up to.

Over at Make and Takes, I found these embellished burp cloths (cloth diapers) and decided Miss Baby needed a few for special outings (around the house the plain ones will work just fine, thank you very much). This was such a quick and easy project and I'm happy with the outcome.


While I was working on these, Mr. A came along to see what I was up to and requested I embellish one of his (in our house, I pretty much live w/a cloth diaper on my shoulder for the first few months of each child's life, at least, and they become a security blanket of sorts - it has been this way with all 4 of the children - Mr. A still likes to have a "dah" around at night or if he's tired and wanted me to put green trim on the ends of his - no frilly rick rack down the length, mind you, just dark green on each end - why not, I said, and in no time while he sat and WAITED (and this is an amazing feat since most 2 year olds do not sit and wait for much of anything!) , I quickly added the green binding to each end of one of his "dahs" and he is a happy little man)).

These are so pretty. I spent way too much to purchase two fancy burp cloths for Avery. You should go into business!

I miss using cloth diapers. Nothing cuter then a little wee one in a cloth diaper! I'd like to invite you to join ourlifestyleoflearning.ning.com I saw you use TOG and so do we. (And love it!) This network is for classically minded homeschoolers.
