Hi guys! I have another really simple DIY baby shower gift tutorial! The pacifier clip is simple yet so functional for any mom. You know that when babies need a pacifier, they will inevitably drop said pacifier. This contraption helps save time (from washing the thing every five seconds) and your ears from an unhappy baby wanting their paci, because it not only hooks to the pacifier but also the child's clothing.
What You'll Need:
(1) Fat Quarter, minimum 18" wide
(1) Suspender Clip
(1) Ouchless Hair tie
Pins
Sewing Machine
Directions:
1. Cut your fabric 18"x3" If its directional (striped) you might want to choose a pattern or direction first to cut in.
2. Fold your strip of fabric length wise with right sides facing together. Pin the long open end and sew a 1/4" seam along the entire length.
3. Using a safety pin....turn your project right side out.
4. Press flat and turn your open ends in 1/4" and pin.
5. Sew an 1/8" seam along both long sides. Leaving your short ends open.
6. Take your suspender clip, and place face down. Insert your strip into the open end along the bottom and pull through about 1". Sew 1/4" seam along the edge to close your strip around the suspender clip. Make sure to back-stitch to lock it in place.
7. Cut your hair-tie along the seam. Insert your cut end into the opening of the other end. Push the hair-tie in about 1/4" or so, and sew a 1/4" seam to close the opening and seal the hair-tie into place. Back stitch a couple of times to ensure that the hair-tie will stay put. Clip all threads and admire your work!
The total time it took me to create two was about 30 minutes. This is so simple and a cute/functional craft to add to any baby shower gift! Want more simple and easy baby shower gifts?

I had way too much fun with this!
Happy Wednesday!
