Snuggle Blankies and Designer Burp Diapers

Finally my computer has enough memory to down and up load some pics! Blogs aren't much fun with out pics so I refrained from posting for awhile.

Who'd have thought styling up some burp rags would be such a hit. Even if babies are just going to drool on them, they are totally cute and worth it. I used yellows, browns, and greens, trying to keep things gender neutral (its for my brother's kid (due August) and they aren't going to find out the gender - or at least not tell us).

Pretty easy to do. I bought some organic diapers from Target and then some fabric scraps and fat quarters from Joann's. I ironed the fabric and aligned it on the diaper and let Bessy (the sewing machine) stitch away!

The blankie was super easy - I have Carlos the tiger cub here modeling one for us. The design on the blankie is Hey Diddle Diddle. Really cute (has a slight bit of blue in it, but I'm hoping my brother's kid is a girl). ;)

Sew Sew Sew

I need a name for my sewing machine. Something awesome, because it is awesome. I mean seriously, the thing doesn't even need me, it just makes stuff.

It has the coolest stitches! And it threads itself!



I need to get an iron so I can finally get started on my first project - baby blankie for new niece/nephew. Any iron suggestions?
