Conscious sewing for babies: This is how it works step by step

There are many ways to sew a sniffer towel. However, the first two steps are the same in any case.

  1. Select material: Jersey, Nicki, terry or another soft cotton fabric are ideal. In any case, the material should be free of harmful substances and of course non -toxic. In addition, imprints and colors should be abrasion -resistant. It is also cheap if the fabric is absorbent, since the cloth will hike into your mouth even more often when cuddling. A remnant of fabric is usually sufficient, so that remnants of handicrafts, trimmers that no longer fit can be used.
  2. Using utensils: fabric, scissors, thread and needle or a sewing machine are necessary. A ruler, tailoring chalk and an iron should be available for this.

The simplest variant to make a baby cloth requires only a few, further work steps and can be easily implemented without sewing machine:

  1. The fabric is tailored to the desired shape and size. Oval, square or angular, circular or as a variety - the sniffing towel is allowed what likes. The simpler the shape, the easier it is to make.
  2. The edge of the fabric is turned over one centimeter far twice and ironed in this position and/or fixed with pins. The double envelope ensures a thicker edge and prevents the fabric edges from fray.
  3. In this position, the edge is now sewn. The cuddly cloth is ready!

Second variant

This second version is particularly useful for fabrics that are already relatively thick and cozy. In the case of thin fabrics, two layers should be put together and sewn. Additional filling cotton or crackling film can also be given between this. Another and somewhat more complex alternative is to provide the cuddly cloth with a set edge. Another fabric can also be used for this, which differs not only in the pattern, but also in the nature of the main part of the cloth.

It is proceeded as follows:

  1. The peripheral fabric is folded into a triangle. The folding line is ironed to make it more stable.
  2. At a distance of about 4 to 5 centimeters, lines are recorded in parallel to the ironing folding line on the back of the fabric lines.
  3. Stripes are now cut along these lines.
  4. The stripes are folded in the middle lengthways and the folding line in turn ironed. Each side edge is now folded again in the middle of the middle. The folding edges are in turn ironed. This creates a kind of envelope.
  5. This envelope is now tailored to the side lengths of the cloth and sewn on it. It is also advisable to use a separate strip on each side. This saves the change and aligning at the corners and in angles.
  6. Finally, the corners of the individual strips are sewn together. The cuddly cloth is ready!

Tip: If you don't dare to make the Schnuffeltuch yourself, you can of course also buy it. With embroidered names or maybe a few applied elements, it can be designed as personally and individually.
