Sewing Cloth Baby Wipes

I wish I had a serger. Not that I know how to use one. But it probably would have made my finished product a little nicer.

But this is about being thrifty... This was proabably my thriftiest project yet. One that my husband would question whether it was worth my time - as in could I have earned the money to purchase these new in less time than it took me to make them? Maybe, but I actually had the time (for once!) to try making these, so I did.

Last Sunday afternoon I set up shop at the kitchen table.


A newly cut stack of 7x7 inch flannel remnants from my stash.


An hour and a half later, the same stack, each piece now zig-zag stitched around the edge to discourage fraying. Time will tell.

If you are interested: my favorite baby wipes solution recipe that has been in use for nearly a year now with our daughter.

I am currently doing this with old towels for burp rags and wash cloths. I will be using the zig-zag stitch also. I figure that I am just repurposing some old towels, so they don't really need to look very pretty. They will just be covered in spit-up in a few months anyways!
