When an order comes in through my shop or through a friend and I hear it's for a baby, I get excited!
Today a friend mentioned that she's got a shower to go to on Sunday and the mama-to-be is having a boy.
All sorts of fun things came to mind - onesies, burp cloths, blankets, booties, and pacifier clips to match!
But I've never made a pacifier clip - my boys never really took pacifiers.
Of course, on Pinterest I had already pinned some tutorials for making cute clips!
I had two inspirations, and sort of mixed and matched the parts of both tutorials that I needed for the supplies I had. Sew, Mama, Sew! featured a great tutorial from Dana at Made. Ruffles & Stuff did a great tutorial, too - her version costs less than $1! Woo hoo!
Pacifier Clip
You will need:
Ribbon (14 inches)
Fray Check
Clip (suspender clips work great!)
Velcro
Pacifier
Sewing machine (or you can hand-sew)
Cut your ribbon to a 14" length and Fray Check the ends (not shown).
Slip the end of your ribbon through the loop on your clip.
Fold over and sew down. (I found a tight-ish zig-zag stitch worked best.)
Cut your velcro to the right size.
Sew one square at the end of the ribbon -
I chose the softer side because this is the piece you'll touch more.
Next, sew the stiffer velcro square about three inches down.
Just loop the velcro end through the ring on the pacifier and you're done!
This time around I used ribbon because it was something I thought most people would have on hand.
Next time I may make a few different clips using fabric that coordinates with the onesie or gift set I've made.
