I've done a few burp cloths as gifts (see here) by adding fabric to cloth diapers to add personality so this time I wanted to try something different. So as a gift to my nephew-on-the-way, I decided to add a fabric animal silhouette applique.
6-ply prefold cloth diapers (mine are from Target)
fabric scraps
heat n bond lite (the purple one)
iron
scissors
sewing machine/thread
animal patterns - This link is a great resource to find simple animal patterns.*
*I used these patterns to make this project, but I printed them at 40% and that seemed about the right scale.
Step 1: Cut to size a piece of fabric and heat n bond and iron the textured side of the heat n bond to the wrong side of the fabric.
Step 2: Cut out your animal pattern and then use that as a pattern to cut out the shape out of the fabric.
Step 3: You may want to iron your cloth diaper.
Step 4: Follow the instructions to iron the animals onto the burp cloths.
Step 5: Sew around the edge of the animal, as close to the edge as possible.
I think they turned out great!!
All ready to welcome my new nephew into the world!!
