I went to a baby shower a few weeks ago and the new mom received a pack of decorative wash cloths for baby. What? How easy is that? And the person who gave them to her purchased them from some sort of baby boutique. I loved that idea and thought my kids {and new baby} might like a set too!
The next time I was at Target, I picked up a pack of plain white wash cloths. You can get a pack of 8 for around $3.50.
I used one cloth as a pattern and cut out a piece of flannel for each cloth. This is a great project for using up scraps. Each cloth costs about $.50 to make!
With right sides facing, I stitched around, using a 3/8″ seam and left a small opening to turn the cloth right side out. After I turned the cloth right side out, I folded down the opening and pinned it. Then top stitched around the entire cloth using a 1/4″ seam. That was it!
I made a few darling blue ones for my boys.
And some powder pink ones for my girls.
Add a bottle of baby wash and it is the perfect gift for a new mother!
Most excellent! Love it.
Oh, that’s cute.
Soooooo nice.
I love it.

i just made some of these earlier this week – but i used a minky type fabric for the washing surface! I love the idea of flannel on the back – they came out great! I’ll be blogging them in a couple of days – here is a link to today’s post with the matching baby blanket i made too!

I love anything that makes bath time more fun for the little ones. ;o)
Did you use baby washcloths or the regular size ones?
Hi Maile, I use regular sized ones 🙂
These are so cute.
