My first sewing project was burp cloths. My friend Aliya makes the most adorable burp cloths and as she helped me get going on my sewing machine (taught me how to thread my bobbin, I am so thankful) she suggested burp cloths would be an easy project.
However, I didn't have the patience to cut and sew rectangle burp cloths, so I decided to spice it up and make my own animal shapes.
The elephant turned out pretty cute, the lion was a good effort, and I even had a whale, but I sewed it inside out and decided by that time I was burnt out on burp cloths and ready for a new project.
Materials: Regular Cotton Fabric, Thread, and the back side was Chenille. Note to self, Don't use Chenille again at about 12 bux a yard for burp cloths, and on your first project where there are many mistakes! If I ever get back into the burp cloth business I will make the swap to much more practical and affordable terry cloth.
