This idea is great for using up those little bits of soap that are left over when you’ve come to the end of a bar of soap.
Buy three washcloths. I go to the dollar stores for these.
Sew the three washcloths together around three sides and turn inside out so that one washcloth is to the right of the seam and the other two are to the left.
Take a small piece of elastic about 3” long and sew it to the single washcloth that you turned to the right side of the seam.
Now, put the chips of left over soap into the pouch formed by the other two washcloths. Whip stitch the two washcloths closed.
When you get the mitt wet it will subs up making a wonderfully sudsy cloth for bathing. For new mothers this makes bathing your infant so much easier as you don’t have to juggle a washcloth, soap and a slippery infant.
Use your imagination to decorate!
