Let’s make a thoughtful baby shower gift for $2.50!

[@barbaralowry6669]

I think replacing the fabric with a long tea towel would make an awesome addition to my kitchen. My husband is always looking for something to wipe his hands on when cooking or cutting up veggies. This he could throw over his shoulder like the chefs on TV. 😀 Thanks for the great idea.

[@shesewsseams]

Great idea!!

[@betsyweaver-oo2ef]

Try looking up a tutorial for a kitchen boa. It’s a long towel you drape around your neck like a dress-up feather boa but it’s to wipe your hands on or use as a mitt when removing hot dishes from the oven. Bet your husband would love it!

[@barbaralowry6669]

@@betsyweaver-oo2ef Thanks Betsy, I have a tutorial for a boa saved in my videos and had forgotten about it.

[@betsyweaver-oo2ef]

@@barbaralowry6669 I saved a tutorial for a 10 minute boa that looked pretty simple. Guess what everyone’s getting for Christmas this year!!!😂

[@glendagarcia6745]

​@betsyweaver-oo2ef I made a few kitchen towel boas for my sister and 2 sister in laws for Christmas a couple of years ago. They were really easy. The only thing I forgot to do was make one for myself! 😅

I love how you encourage people to do what they do best. I sew, quilt and do all kinds of arts and crafts. I am addicted to you tube tutorials. I have so many subscriptions but it is because I enjoy them and learn so much, even at my age of 70. I believe you never stop learning or coming up with interesting new ideas. God Bless and keep being you. You are a light on a hill and a sunshine in some one's heart.

[@shesewsseams]

Thank you so much!

[@carolynmills513]

I made these years ago with baby elephant flannel on one side and cloth diapers on the other. More expensive, but I love the way diapers get so soft and crinkly after a couple of washes, and we know they are absorbing. The mother told me later, they were her favorite because of the cloth, and how big I made them.

[@cathyshearer5410]

You amaze me! You talk, instruct and sew all at the same time. LOL, I can’t walk and talk at the same time. LOL. It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and talents and your eyes are beautiful.

[@shesewsseams]

Oh thank you!

[@mollyshaw9679]

I love watching your videos. I have learned so much

[@alissagonzales735]

I enjoy sewing. So I made some oversize bibs with a stretch tee shirt style hole for the head for some kids in kindergarten so when they finger paint they don't get it all over themselves. The teacher's aide saw them and asked if I could make a couple for and adult. Which I did. She said they worked perfect for her mother who must be fed that also has dementia. It helps keep her clean. So she ordered five more. So I made them for her and told her no charge. You just keep enjoying having your Mother here and sharing the little things.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Cheat thought from an "old gal"... do the stitching on the "drawn line" and trim AFTER... so much easier than trying to stitch on a curve! Love your helping the younger generation get going with sewing and saving! Hugs, GrammaBabs

[@debrayakel2447]

I used that white “ micro fiber “( maybe it’s not 🤷‍♀️) to make a “ fur” jacket for my granddaughter’s American Girl Doll. She loved it!

[@lyndarandall211]

I'm not a sewer for craft, but for repairs. 😂 I recently researched how to make a fidget mat for my sister, she has dementia, and I found a whole new world. Your videos started coming up yesterday and I subscribed to you and a couple of other people. I don't know if I'll make anything to sell. I'm into several different crafts, but it sure doesn't hurt to learn more. Thank you.😊

[@Sunshine-fy4fz]

To make sure I leave an opening on my projects, I double pin at the beginning and the end - when I get to the spot that has two pins next to each other, I know I'm done sewing. I find this to be better than using a marking pencil, since sometimes you're working with a darker fabric or one with a busy pattern and you could miss seeing the marking, but you can't miss two pins next to each other (or if you do, you'll be sewing over that double bump!)

[@lorettaheadrick8288]

I do the same with different color pins. I can't tell you how many times I stitched past a mark before I started to double pin.

[@flnurse]

I love watching your tutorials. Always learning something new. And those mistakes you talk about….some of them I’ve made over and over. There are days when I just have to step OUT of my sewing room.

[@carolynthomas4527]

I made all of my great grand children several of these and the Moms loved them😊

I wish I had found you when I started sewing. You make it look so easy. I'm no pro at all. But I try things, and sometimes I laugh, so idont cry at my sewing. Lolol. Some days my sewing machine and I get along swell..... and other days, we do not click. 😂

Chelsea, that’s a great idea using the micro fabric. I got some of those awhile back and had the same idea but never did it. I think after seeing your video, I will try it the next time I need a baby shower gift. Thank you again

I did a Google search for "easy to make baby shower gift" and was pleasantly surprised when your tutorial popped up first. Burp cloths are such a great gift and always needed. My baby is 9 years old and I'm still using his burp clothes around the house and still remember who gave them to me. Thank you so much for the fantastic idea and step by step instructions.

[@shesewsseams]

You are so welcome!

[@PattyMoor3]

Those look nice and soft. I have made a lot of burp cloths, usually with a cloth diaper ( the pre floded type) and flannel together. Yours is definitely a nice and economical idea!

[@lisagilbert8472]

This is perfect baby gift! Yes you can never have too many burping clothes!!!

Oh my. Chelsea. You have inspired me to finally use a zipper. Welllll I made cosmetic bags for my granddaughters for Christmas. An easy pattern. I just cut the size and I stitched all round and added a zipper. Cheated and made opening as large as the zippers I had. But the did come out cute. Just need to embellish them. If I knew how to send you a picture I would. But I’m not that savvy. Love watching you. You’re so inspiring. Wish I had you when I was younger. At 83 still learning. Thank you 💕
