Baby Wrap

A muslin baby wrap and co-ordinating muslin baby wash cloths, make a sweet gift for a summer baby. The muslin is so soft, and the loose weave makes it cool, when swaddling a baby. Muslin is now available in a lovely range of colours and prints. Double guaze would also work well.

I founds some sweet printed muslin and finished it off with a gingham trim, for a more traditional look.

Pretty and practical!

Muslin Wrap measures 120 cm x 120 cm (47 x 47 inches)

Materials:

1.2 m ( 1 1/3 yards)  Printed Muslin 

5 m  ( 6 yards) Gingham Bias Trim (25 mm/1 inch wide)

White cotton thread

Trim the muslin so that it measures 1.2 m (47 inches) on each side. Use a drinking glass as a template to draw rounded corners and cut to shape. Attach the bias binding around the perimeter of the muslin according to manufacturer’s directions. 

I also made some Muslin Washcloths to match.

Washcloth measures 30 cm x 30 cm(12 x 12 inches)

Materials:

0.3 m  (1/3 yard) Muslin, plain or printed

1.2 m (1 1/2 yards) gingham bias trim (10 mm/ 3/8 inch wide)

White cotton thread

Cut the muslin into a square measuring 0.3 m (12 inches) on each side. Cut the corners so they are rounded, using a drinking glass as a template. Attach the bias binding.

You can find pretty bias tape at The Haby Goddess.

Edit: In Australia you can find plain and printed muslin at Spotlight. It is a loose weave fabric similar to guaze. You can also find it on Etsy and Ebay - search for printed muslin or guaze.
