Burp Rag Tutorial

by linnaeasmom

With less than 11 weeks left until the baby is due, I have really started sewing like crazy to get some things prepared for her arrival. I’ll be sure to share all my projects and the tutorials I used to make them. I’ve found that making things myself has been a HUGE money saver for us! I’m a big sale shopper (and you all know my addiction to thrift stores and up-cycling old things!), so I’ve managed to get all of my supplies at half price or less!

The first project I wanted to share was baby burp rags. A friend of mine shared this tutorial with me (from Cloud9 Fabrics) and I LOVE them! They are super quick and easy to throw together. I made 8 of them, and it only took me a little over an hour from cut to finish. And this is a great way to use up some of those spare fat quarters you have laying around! Each fat quarter will make 2 burp rags, and just 1 yard of flannel (for the back) is all you need for a set of 8. So, 4 fat quarters and a yard of flannel later….. This is what I ended up with–

There are 2 of each pattern. Just LOVE them!

Great Deal!!

by linnaeasmom

I just wanted to quickly share a great deal that I got today, that maybe you can snag too! A friend of mine, who lives in Texas, told me about a deal she got on quilting fabric bundles at a store called Tuesday Morning. Naturally, I had to go to our local store and see if they had some on clearance too, and they did!! I spent about $35, and got a ton of great stuff. Some of it will be used for quilting, but a lot of this can be used for clothing, so I am super excited!!
