Baby Onesie and Burp Cloth Sets



I have so many friends who are having babies right now I just can't believe it! Luckily I found this cute idea to make for a baby gift that is somewhat easy (depending on how fancy you get) and low cost as well. If you don't want to worry about heming, just sew around the design leaving a 1/4 of an inch of fabric, snip the edges, wash and you have a cute freyed edge. All of these are freyed except of the boy one because I'm lazy like that. :)

This is just a baby cloth diaper and then you sew fabric on it making a hem all the way around. Just pin, press with warm iron and sew around twice.
On the corners you basically just fold it like you would when you're wrapping a gift, press and pin. So simple. I've done some in the past that I've tie-dyed, or have just sewn ribbons on the onesies across the chest or on the arms,etc. People always seem to like them because they're one of a kind. In the future I'd like to add baby booties or matching stretch hair bands.
