Makin' For Baby - Pt 1

Muslin Wraps
An essential item for the summer baby, so I've been told.

All I'm going to say about this project is thank "someone" that baby's don't know what straight lines look like.   
Overlockers and Muslin really don't mix all that well :-)

 A rollover hem will fix a multitude of inexactitudes but the reality is when you've put the project off for over a month already, and one's life is still being counted in weeks, life can be just that bit to short to get perfectionist.   

Particularly when it's going to be lucky it stays the same colour until the end of it's serviceable life.


 Fabric End Burp Cloths

This little project came about when I had finished cutting out bib's.  I ended up with some consistent sized scraps that weren't to wide but were quite long.  Being flannel I figure they should have decent "sop" power and be a nice quick wash and dry.

They look wonderful :) Your post made me smile so much, getting ready for your first baby is such a magical and bewildering time.
