My mother-in-law bought me a sewing machine for Christmas because I voiced the need to be able to hem my own clothing (rockin 5'0 over here :)). The only minor hiccup is that I haven't sewn anything since my h.s. home economics class years and years ago...eek! Still, I took the bull by the horns (so to speak) and after a little practice I was ready to tackle my first project; burp cloths. I chose this project because the
tutorial on Pinterest seemed SUPER simple and I have 4 baby showers in the next 3 months. Perfect, right? Let's just say that sewing a rectangle was slightly more difficult than I thought it would be??? Feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong??
I started with this fabric that I purchased from Joanns. Flannel prints and chenille for my backing.
I followed all the steps on the
tutorial only to find that my fabrics like to slip about a 1/2inch or so regardless of how well I pin them? Is this just the nature of the two fabrics together? I dunno, I need to ask the experts I guess. The good thing is that this project is very forgiving and I think they turned out pretty darn good. Hope my mommy's-to-be like them. I know we do!
