Getting my craft on 2

While making these awesome bibs for Taylor a friend forwarded me this awesome site - Make it and Love it.  I saw this super cute tutorial on these Cloth Baby Rings.  Well, mine took me way longer to make than I thought they would, but they turned out and I may just make some for some friends if I can get my butt in gear!  Here's how mine turned out!

Start out with some tubes of fabric (notice in this picture

there are four, but by the end there are only three!  That blue

one just didn't want to turn inside out!).

You stuff them with  batting and sew them up...

Totally machine washable so he can chew on them all

he wants!

Getting my craft on

So, for some reason I was totally inspired to start sewing and crafting.  Where did this come from?  I don't know.  All I know is that Taylor drools non stop from morning till night.  He goes through a few bibs a day and they get really smelly.  I saw a girl on Facebook who sews these cute little handkerchiefs for boys.  So, I thought to myself, "self, you can sew and you have scraps of fabric, why not make some of your own".  So out came them sewing supplies and I got to work.

Here are some photos of that work.

Start off with a square (my first attempt was an 11x11) 

and then you cut it in half so you have two triangles.

Hem up the edges all pretty like.

Et voila a handkerchief!

The first time around I was a little lazy and thought I would use Velcro.  All I had was sticky Velcro so I attached it and it worked until I washed it and it came off in the wash!  So I thought I'll put snaps on.  I found a package of snaps at the 99 cent store here.  Sadly they did not work either.  So then I thought why not make it a little bigger and then tie it in the back.  I made this one 15x15 and it works!

Since I have all kinds of fabric scraps, I will make a few more as they are pretty easy to do!  Yeah for a success!
