These days lots of my friends are pregnant…it must come with passing that mid-twenties-age-group thing…anyway, one of my friends had her baby girl last week! So, Saturday night I got busy making her baby gift, she requested a nursing cover that wasn’t too girly, and was kind of subdued. So, I went with Vintage Modern Houndstooth and used my Not Your Average Nursing Cover tutorial.
But then, I couldn’t leave it at that for this new baby girl…so I made a few little burp cloth/face wipes out of some Vintage Modern Layer Cake and some Shannon Cuddle/Minky:
I trimmed the layer cake pieces to 9″ x 10″ {note: you could also make four out of a single fat quarter!}, then sewed some minky, leftover from baby bibs, right sides together, turned, and top stitched! They whipped up super fast, and are the size I always carry in my diaper bag {my originals are made from fat quarters and have terrycloth on the back…but I’ll be making some more of these if I ever have another!}.
Of course, we can’t forget the boys amidst all this girliness…so, when Chrissy at Sew Lux Fabric asked if I’d be interested in putting together a bundle for their new Curated Collections, of course I was, and I decided to go with a boy bundle {since my last choice was very girly!}, so I present For the Boys:
Some trucks, lime, gray, navy, and a touch of aqua…really, this is little boy heaven {at least it will be to Silas, though, I’ll have to hide that truck fabric until I make something with it, or he will expect to play with it, remember the truck pillow?}. And, even better, the bundle is on a special sale, $17 for 8 fat quarters, that’s just over $2 each!
I’m guessing you may have noticed I am often linking to Sew Lux, and we do get rewards when our readers shop through our affiliate links {which help us fund giveaways and make fun things!}, but really, the service is unbeatable, the shipping is quick, and Chrissy and her mom Linda are just the sweetest ladies, running a small business together {kind of like us!}. So, I’m super happy to support them and their shop. And have another excuse to buy lots of fabric. Happy shopping!

I just cut into my Vintage Modern charm pack last night, so it was fun to see your projects in my reader this morning.
I love how those little burp cloths turned out!

Your friends are very lucky! I love your bundle too! Sometimes it can be hard to find boy themed fabrics, but this is the perfect collection!

Thank you so much for the link to the shop. That is a fabulous bundle of fabric. I am really on a “boy kick” these days and love creating for my little grandson.
Your little burp clothes are so cute and super soft.
Have a wonderful day. Trish xo
