Burp cloths and neighbors.

I have a sweet neighbor that gave our daughter-in-law a present

when she had her baby nearly 11 months ago.

She adds some material to cloth diapers in the cutest way

and gives these personalized burp cloths as gifts for new babies.

I have been wanting to know how she does it ever since.

Yesterday, she graciously had me over to her house to show me.

I brought along some cloth diapers I bought from K-mart

and some material I gathered from my house

that I bought from a darling near-by fabric shop, months ago.

My neighbor is a beautiful, multi-talented and young mom of four adorable boys

(the youngest being about 10 weeks old).

She showed me how to cut the pieces of material, just so 

and fold the edges and pin them, just so

and sew along the edges, just so

and iron and fold them, just so.

I gratefully brought four finished burp cloths home

and found a big brown silky ribbon

(from a purchased blanket long time ago)

and tied a sweet bow, just so.
