[QUOTE=osewme;7759550]I like to make burp cloths for new moms. I take a cloth diaper (the pre-folded) ones & sew flannel on one side. I sew the flannel on (wrong side out) all along the edges & leave about a 6" open area so I can turn it right side out. Then I sew down the center seams on the diaper to hold the flannel to the diaper. They are easy & so useful. I can still find cloth diapers at some Walmart stores.
Here's a good tutorial:

since you mentioned cloth diapers: do you know they make the absolute best glass/window cleaning rags? I was hoarding the last two from my kids (they're in their high 40's) and I found a shoe box full of them at a church rummage sale. Man, was I excited! I gave one to son in law, cuz he's the window washer in their house. He went to Walmart and bought a dozen.

I live on Long island, and the teachers here make 100,000 after 3-4 years.
their retirement is excellent too. Maybe those teachers should move here.
their salaries are fantastic, and when they complain, I just don't get it.

a couple years at Geo. Washington and didn't make even half that amount!
She has been teaching for 17 years here in California and makes less than 50K.
She works a second job teaching a class at a nearby university at night to make a bit more.
