Make Your Own Baby Bath Mitt

May 14, 2017 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 3 Comments

Make a baby bath mitt using our easy sewing tutorial www.aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com

Make bath time fun with this cute aeroplane baby bath mitt. Easily constructed from a white face washer, it features an appliqued aeroplane in bright colours and has a striped hanging tag. A vapour trail has been sewn across both sides of the bath mitt. This is a fun project that can be easily made in around an hour. Perfect for a baby shower gift or to sell at a craft stall.

The simple applique has been sewn using a machine buttonhole stitch. This is a great project to use small brightly coloured scraps featuring a small print. I have used scraps of Minny Muu fabric from Lecien Fabrics in this project.

Ribbon accents are the perfect finishing touch.

Using a ready made face washer gives the bath mitt a nice finish around the top and sides. They can be purchased in bulk from discount stores.

    Great idea for more than just babies-I used a Christmas appliqué added a rosemary bath bomb, peppermint foot cream and spiced ginger soap for a great gift for my sister.
