Here is another little project for ambitious parents to be.
We purchased a bib and burp cloth set from a local monogram shop and had sticker shock from the price. We decided to try our hands at this sewing endeavor and saved some dough. We made patterns from paper bags using the originally purchased bib and burp cloths. Then we whipped out the Singer and made multiple sets from discounted fabric. Now when baby spits up... we don't have to worry about stains on the ridiculously expensive nappies. Keep in mind they are attractive and disposable. You can use scrap material or match the sets to outfits. Look above at some of the fruits of our labor.
Project Tips
#1 : Patterns need to be bigger than purchased sets (allow 1/2 inch seam allowance)
#2 : Use ribbon that will not unravel (simple cotton works best)
#3: Buy "small" cloth diapers with padded middle for burp cloths
#4: Allow for shrinkage - Wash and dry diapers and fabric before cutting
