I got this outfit at the consignment sale for $3. It was blank, so I added a monogram. Can't beat that!
Next, I appliqued a blank onesie that I had on hand. I love this applique, but I'm not sure...it may have turned out looking more like a popcorn bucket than a beach pail - ha!
Who could resist making a matching seersucker diaper cover!?!? I found the free pattern and tutorial on how to do this at THIS SITE. So easy - so cute!
Here's the set:
After that, I decided that I must resist making any more clothes for Miles, because I am reminded by THIS POST, and by the boxes I pulled out of the attic the other day, that I DO NOT NEED any more baby clothes! However, the previously mentioned post also reminded me that I DID, in fact, need more of burp cloths, so I got to work! I use THIS TUTORIAL to help me get started when making my burp cloths.
On this one, I figured out how to use my serger to cut off the raggedy edge of the burp cloth and make a nice, clean, finished edge. I like the way it turned out, and it's WAY easier than adding fabric!
We are fully prepared for a war against spit up now :-) I can't wait to hold Miles in my arms - although there is still much to do before he comes. More on that later.

You're good girl!
So how do you do the fabric on the bottom of the burp cloth? The ones I get are already finished at the bottom, but I like the look of the fabric on some of them.
I've done different things, but for these I just folded the edges of a piece of fabric under and topstitched it. Here's a tutorial I found to get me started - http://www.crapivemade.com/2009/05/boutique-style-burp-cloth-tutorial.html
