Loving Sweetwater

I've told you how everyone around me is having a baby. Most of them are having baby boys so I went hunting for some cute baby boy fabric.  Even though this Hometown fabric by Sweetwater for Moda is from a couple seasons ago,  it is still fairly easy to find and I love it. 

I'm guess I'm not really one for pastel babyish fabrics for boys.  (I think that drives my mom crazy.)  I really loved making this bib.  Very rarely do I buy a charm pack that I love all the fabric in it.  This one, I loved them all.  I quilted the top with flannel so it would be a little absorbent.  I also used this dotted minky on the back.

I added a little strip of gray ric rac for a little something extra.

Also wanted to make a couple of burp cloths like I did when I made these.   I bought some gerber diapers at Walmart and really disliked them.  I ended up finding these diapers and they worked a lot better.  I still had to iron them to make them look nice after I washed them, but the fabric was so much nicer than Gerber's.

I'm really happy with the way everything turned out.  Hopefully my neighbor will like them.

 

I ended up making two of everything so I'm going to be putting a bib and a set of burp cloths in my etsy shop as soon as I can get it up and running again.  It's been too long since I've sold anything on etsy so it's taking me a while to get it all figured out.

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!
