A Favorite Baby Gift - Homemade Burp Cloths

Happy Thursday!! How is this week flying by?! Hope you all are enjoying the start of August!! It's always such a busy month for us with four family birthdays, three anniversaries and this year two big trips with Jane!! We are soaking up every minute though and excited for the cooler weather that's hopefully coming soon!

Today I thought I'd share a little project that is a fun one for any baby shower/gift. One of my best friends made us these sweet homemade burp cloths at our shower in February. Her and her mom make them for all of the new babies in their family, and we were so excited that they included us in their tradition!! 

They quickly became our favorite burp cloths, so when our little niece Lucy was born, I knew I had to make them some! 

This is the finished project I snapped a picture of the morning after I finished them... 

I had gone with Jane a few days earlier to find some fabric that I knew they would like. They have a sweet nursery theme, so I tried to find some that would go along with their sweet colors.

I got out all my fun sewing supplies (thank you, Mom, for forever setting me up for success for any project!!) and was able to cut and pin the fabric on the bottom of the burp cloths. (They are actually cotton cloth diapers that make for the perfect, most absorbent burp cloths!!)

Then, thanks for a sweet Christmas gift when I was in college, I was able to use my sewing machine to sew the edges down. 

I just added some ric-rac on the top... 

And really did love how they all turned out! 

I've found so many cute ones on Etsy, but I love a sweet homemade gift and the meaning behind it, so I was so glad to be able to bless them with these! 

Thank you Elizabeth and your sweet mom for such a fun and creative idea and including us in your family tradition!! Hope it becomes one of ours as well!! 

Hope this is a fun idea for you if you ever need a little baby gift, and hopefully maybe even inspires you to do a little something creative today 💕

Thanks for reading and following along!!! Also, a HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the recipients of this gift today!!! Four years ago we were celebrating the end of long distance and the start to all the family fun and memories! Hope it's the best day celebrating!!

I'll see you all back here tomorrow!! Enjoy your Thursday!!!
