Cloth wipes tutorial

You don't need a serger to have attractive and sturdy cloth wipes.

Cut two pieces of fabric into squares or rectangles, put them wrong side out and pin three of the four sides together.  (We like big wipes!)
The top is not pinned, I am not going to sew it.

Using a straight stitch, sew around the three sides that you pinned.

You should end up with this:

Turn the whole thing out and get those corners good, too.  You should now have this:

To close it, tuck the edge in all the way around - about an inch.

Get it nice and even and pin it shut.


Finally, sew all the way around to finish up :)

  1. Looks like I could handle this! What kinds of fabric do you recommend?

  2. Soft and absorbent is my only criteria. The fabric I used here is cotton but it's slightly stretchy. Flannel is my all-time favorite for wipes, though :)
