Not my usual thing...

I have been spending very little time 

at my sewing machine AND the computer.

I gotta tell you, it's been sooooo nice!

Is that a terrible thing to say?

I love to sew.  LOVE!

But I love my kids more.

And we've been busy playing :-)

I did, however, make some time yesterday to whip up 

these cute little burp cloths for a friend.

I didn't take any pictures of the process
because, well, I just didn't think about it.

But there are some really amazing tutorials already out there.

Like this one, this one, and this one.

I reinforced the decorative fabrics with a layer of 

cotton batting that was trimmed just a tad smaller than my fabric.

Then I topstitched it into place because I really hate 

how they get all shifty after they're washed. 

You know what I'm talking about.

Like I said, sewing burp cloths isn't really what I do.  

In fact, I think it's been 5 years since I last made them. 

But I quickly remembered how much fun, quick and super easy they are.

I just might have to make more!

Heaven knows I always need baby gifts :-)
