Sep. 14, 2007 - Friday Show and Tell!
Well it's Friday and time for Show and Tell over at Kelli's! Today I want to share my latest sewing project. A couple of weeks ago I went to a cute little store in our downtown area. They had these adorable burp clothes. They were simple white cloth diapers that they had sewn ribbon and various trim on. I thought they were precious, when I looked a the prices they were selling from 5-8 dollars a piece. I immediately thought I can make some of those and for a good bit cheaper!
So I bought a dozen cloth diapers and washed them several times. This makes them softer and more absorbent. Then I bought some ribbon and was given some pretty white trim. I ended up having enough to finish all 12 diapers. Now baby Becca has 12 beautiful burp clothes waiting on her! I love the way they turned out. Taking something so practical and dressing it up! I think they would make great baby shower gifts!
Edited to add: I ended up with about $16.00 in the whole dozen, quite a bit of savings!

I love recreating something that I have seen somewhere else for a fraction of the cost! Great job!

They look wonderful indeed, very well done!
By the way, baby showers are totally unknown over here in Germany but I like that US tradition a lot!
