I whipped up these really simple and fast Hiccup Hankies the other night for a baby gift...
Materials:
9 inch x 14inch piece of Chenille Fabric (preshrunk)
9 inch x 14 inch piece of cotton fabric (preshrunk)
I pinned the right sides of the fabric together facing each other. I sewed them together on all four edges with a 1/2 inch seam leaving a 2 inch hole open on the last edge I sewed. This is so I could turn them right side out. (Hint: when sewing these put the heavier fabric on the bottom so the feed dogs on your sewing machine will push that fabric through easier). After I turned them right side out I pushed out the corners by inserting a pencil in the opening and pushing it into the corners. I then made sure that the edges of the opening were turned inside and I sewed around all four edges again to create a finished look. here are a couple of pictures

These are beautiful! I was planning on making something like this for a friend who just found out was pregnant. We also have a TON of unused burp cloths from my son that I need to revamp. Adore the name: hiccup hankie. So clever.
I just cleaned my fabric closet and found some chenille! Your idea is timely, and ooooh! Soooo cute!
They look great!!
