I saw these at the Baby Expo the other day and just had to make some of my own just because they were so funny! Apparently the Tee-Pees serve as a little shield to keep you from getting sprayed when you change your baby boy's diaper. :)
You Will Need:
- Fabric strips (I have seen flannel and terrycloth used) at least 7" wide and length depending on how many you plan on making.
- Thread
- Sewing Machine
- Paper and scissors for making pattern
- Cup or small bowl for making pattern (circle should probably be at least 4" across)
Making the Tee Pees
- On my pattern, I have the diameter as 4 1/2" across, but another blogger found that a 6" diameter worked better, so you might want to find a cup or bowl about that diameter.
- Use the cup or small bowl to draw a circle on your paper and cut it out.
- Fold circle in half and then in half again to make an "x" marking the center of your circle
- Draw a line from the center down the middle of one of the quarters of your circle.
- Now cut out half the circle plus the little half-quarter piece, and this is your pattern.
- Use your pattern to cut out two semi-circles.
- Sew the two pieces right-sides together leaving one straight edge open for turning.
- Turn right-side out, tuck in the open seam (so raw edges are inside) and press.
- Sew the two straight edges together, and you're done!
