Baby Car Seat Cover and More Burp Cloths from Cloth Diapers

 
I have been busy grandma sewing!  I made a baby car seat cover to shield my grandson from the sun, cold, and unwanted strangers..  I found the pattern free online here


I originally made ten burp cloths but discovered they were not enough; they quickly became multi-purpose cloths instead of just burp cloths.  So I made ten more of them.  This time, I didn't make any with the fabric going down the center because we want the absorbency that the thicker center of the cloth diaper provides.  I found ideas here and here.


It takes just a bit of fabric to dress up ordinary cloth diapers.  I had fun going through my stash to find fabrics.  And I visited my local quilt shop to get a bit of this wheel fabric.   

 
My son is a photographer, so I had fun using this camera fabric for one of the burp cloths.

 
The yellow fabric below reminds me of jacks!

 



It's wonderful
being a
grandma!

  3. My son never spit up but I used the cloth diapers just in case for burp clothes and for things like drool..baby drool. Nothing like a cloth diaper to wipe things up. That car seat cover is adorable too and such a great idea..love how it attaches to the handle.
