Burp Rags

The next Idea I got off of Pintrest was Burp Rags. (I pinned from SewinSanity) I did not use the chenille that was recommended. I went ahead and used the Gerber Cloth Diapers. I bought a half yard of three different flannels. With a half yard, I could make 3 from each print with a cloth Diaper. Since I only bought a 5 pack, I then used the left over flannel from the baprons and made a few burp rags that are back to back flannel. Easy Peasy! I put the fabric face down on the cloth diaper, sewed close to the edges, leaving a space to turn them inside out. Then I sewed two lines where the cloth diapers were sewn to keep the two fabrics together, then went around the outer edges. This keeps them sturdy. 


I found this idea at See Kate Sew that I will be using to package the burp rags in:


Camera Strap

I really hate the strap on my camera. So I decided to make a new one. The Cwafty Blog had a tutorial that looked simple enough and pretty much was. I opted to use Duck Canvas for my backing and ends instead of leather. Since I don’t wear my camera around my neck, I’m not worried about the canvas backing. My next one I will be using a micro suede fabric and leather for the ends. I also used Darice Big Clasps to attach the strap to the camera. They give me more security that the strap will stay on my camera.
