Burp Cloths!

I made these after seeing many examples on the web, and a few in person. Last weekend, a dad at synagogue was pointing out the un-ergnomic shape of rectangular cloths, so I made sure to follow the hourglass shapes I saw on various craft blogs. Here's how I did it: I bought cheap "bird's eye" diapers at Target ($10 or so for a dozen), washed them, and then folded them into thirds (warning: this required a lot of ironing). Then I cut them into the hourglass shape and serged the long sides. Next I added my fabric/ribbon embellishments (what a satisying use of all the leftovers from my previous projects - plus they match the existing outfits for Petit Loup, which I know is obscenely precious, but still...). Last I serged the short sides, often including the raw edge of whatever embellishment I'd used.
