Baby Gift

My sister in law had a baby a few weeks ago and we finally had the chance to drive up and see her on Friday. So cute! I wanted to whip up a little something to bring her. Being that it was her second daughter and she saved most of everything from the first one she really didn't need much. So I made her some embroidered burp clothes. I got inspiration from Pinterest, of coarse.

To make these I went to my local Joanns and bought baby cloth diapers. You get 4 for $7 and they let you use coupons! They also had their Joanns brand flannel fabric on sale for 60% off. They had some really cute designs. I bought a yard of each design and was able to make 8 burp clothes with enough fabric left over to be able to make 2 more.


My only tip aside from what you find online is to embroider on the right side of the burp cloth, the backside has the seam, first before the sewing. Other than that find the tutorial that best suits your level of sewing. They were quite easy to make but I wouldn't say quick. There is a lot of ironing aside from the embroidery which took some time.


The finished result:

My new apron


My DH's grandma was in town for a couple of days.  I needed an apron for my Demo classes. She helped me put this together.  I love the way it looks.  It's so bright, it's so me.  Joanns is having a really good sale on fabric. I only payed $5.60 for all this fabric.

Xyron 900 Jammies done


Ok. So all this time and all I got done was the jammies for the 900. I tried and tried. My husband tried and tried and we could not get the sewing machine to act right when it came to sewing ribbon on my neck strap. His grandmas is a sewing genious and she'll be here on Friday so maybe she can help me figure out what settings and such it needs to be in. For now here is a pic of all my covered up tools. Got my Cricut, Cricut Expression, Cuttlebug, Bind it all tool and the Xyron 900. Aren't they the cutest? Can't wait to have my own scrapbook room to set them out in in full glory.
