Need some affordable and easy gift ideas for upcoming baby shower or mom and baby to be?
We have lots of ideas and this series will focus on some ideas shown below ​and more. 
These easy sew gift ideas focus on useful,  quality, practical, affordable and sustainable gifts for baby along with some really cute fabric selections!

Today I would like to talk about how to make easy, sustainable and environmentally friendly bum wipes that can also double as spit up wipes and burp cloths with very few dollars involved!
I have to credit this idea to my sister-in-law Rosemary along with my niece Annette who gave me a great idea on how to use them.

Flannel Bum Wipes

The above wipes according to my niece and from my recent personal experience with my grandson, eliminate the need to purchase  as many store boughten diaper wipes. Diaper wipes end up in a landfill and do not break down easily.  These wipes work effectively to moisturize baby's bottom naturally with one to two spritz's of water and a slather of coconut oil and a soiled bottom is wiped away easily. 
*However, you may still want some disposable wipes for travelling, so you are not carrying around unnecessary laundry. 

You will need:  
Several 10 x 10" of Flannel Fabric (pre washed) -I made 48 for my daughter = 12 per meter (4 meters needed)
A serger to serge edges or hem all edges (the serger is easy and works great)
Neutral thread for Serger or sewing machine to match all fabric (cream, white or grey)
A sprayer bottle-filled with water
A large jar of coconut oil 

To make:
Cut out many 10 x 10" Squares of flannel- you determine the number (12 per yard or meter)
Serge all 4 edges of the squares or zigzag, turn under and top stitch. 
Press with an iron when they are completed
It's that simple!

Suggestion: Kit  up the wipes in a stack with a jar of coconut oil and a spritzer bottle with clear basket wrap and place a pretty ribbon around it for a lovely gift for those environmentally, all natural moms you know.  

My daughter has also found them very useful spit up and burp wipes, so even if they don't get used for baby's bottom, these are very useful!

I really am so thankful for sharing this to us. It is not only good for the budget but also for the environment. It is gentle for the baby's skin. It is not harmful because it doesn't have any chemicals in it that could irritate their skin. It's so easy to make and you can also make different cute design and by making this you also help in saving Mother Earth. You will not add up more non-biodegradable trash that harms the environment. I do appreciate your effort in sharing this to help us with our budget and for saving the environment.

As soon as the device is switched on, there are ultrasonic vibrations developed inside the reservoir filled with water and essential oils.
