Steps on How to make a cloth baby book

Once you have chosen the cloth for your baby book, it is time to start sewing!

Step 1. First, cut two pieces of fabric that are each twice as wide as the desired finished width of your baby book and four times as long. For example, if you want a 12” wide baby book, cut two pieces of fabric that are 24” wide by 48” long.

Step 2. Fold each piece of fabric in half lengthwise so that the wrong sides are together. Sew along the edge using a ½” seam allowance. Leave one end open so that you can turn the fabric right-side out later. Iron the seams flat.

Step 3. Now fold each piece of fabric in half again (wrong sides together) and sew the open edge closed using a ½” seam allowance. Iron the seams flat.

Step 4. Turn each piece of fabric right-side out through the end you left open when sewing along the edge earlier. Insert cardboard or plastic canvas inside to make it stiffer, if desired (this step is optional).

Step 5. Sew up ¼” from both edges as shown below to close in any gaps so that your book will look nice on both sides. Optional: You can also add decorative stitching along one side of each page, for example with a zig-zag stitch, if you are using a sewing machine – or even by hand!

Step 6. Now insert pages into your cloth baby book cover and you are done! I hope that you have enjoyed this tutorial on how to make a cloth baby book for your baby. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments. We would also love to see pictures of your finished work!

 

Should I make a baby book?

There are many ways to keep a record of your child. In this article, we will discuss three methods: pictures/videos, paper notes and a baby book. The rest of the article will explain what each method is, how you can do it, and the pros and cons for each one.

Pictures/Videos – This is probably one of the easiest ways to record your babies first few years. It does not take much effort on your part besides snapping a pic or video here and there!

And then once you have done that all you need to do is share them with family members (if desired) by emailing them or posting them on social media sites like Facebook or Instagram.

A pro would be that it is a very easy way to record your child’s life and you do not have to take much time out of your day. However, there are some cons in that people might not always be able to attend physical events (like a birthday party) so they would not be able to see your child in person.

Paper Notes – This can be done in many ways but the most popular one seems to be journaling. You can either keep it all in one big journal or make several mini-journals throughout your child’s first few years. A pro for this method is that it allows you to go back and read everything from when your child was born until they reach kindergarten.

Another pro would be that you can hand the journals down to your child when they reach a certain age. However, there are some cons in that it does take more effort than just taking pictures/videos and you have to be careful about what you write down because it will be permanent!

Baby Book – This is probably one of the most popular ways to record your child’s first few years. A baby book usually has spaces for pictures, videos, paper notes and also milestones (like first words and steps). There are many different versions of baby books so you can find one that fits your needs.

A pro would be that everything is organized in one place and all you need to do is add new information as time goes on. Another pro would be that others can easily see everything by just looking at your baby book.

However, there are some cons in that it does take more effort than just taking pictures/videos and you have to be careful about what you write down because it will be permanent!

Is a Baby Book right for me? As mentioned above, this is usually the most popular choice but not everyone likes the idea of having everything recorded in one place so if that sounds like something you would enjoy then yes! If not I would suggest either journaling or taking pictures/videos now and then instead since they don’t require much work on your part.

What should I consider when making my decision? You should consider how much time you want to put into recording things about your child and also what type of things you want to record. If it’s just taking pictures/videos then maybe a baby book isn’t for you but if there are other types of information that need to be recorded then this might work better!

What is the best option? I think it depends on who you ask because everyone has their own opinion about this topic. One person may say journaling while another says taking photos and videos or even making scrapbooks (which we didn’t mention in our article).

The point is there isn’t anything wrong with any method as long as they serve their purpose – which means being able to look back at all those memories years down the line when they come flooding back!

Are baby books worth it? I think they’re worth considering because they can provide a way to look back on those memories years down the line when they come flooding back.

However, if you don’t want to spend any money or put much effort into recording things about your child then maybe journaling would work better for you since there are no additional costs involved with using this method and it doesn’t take up much time either!

If neither option sounds appealing then perhaps taking photos/videos every-now-and-then could suffice as well – which we didn’t mention in our article but still seems like an excellent choice if someone wants something that doesn’t involve spending too much money or putting a lot of effort into recording things about their child.
