Baby Burp Cloths

Baby Burp Cloths

I bought the materials to make these ages ago, because I knew I had a baby shower coming up and I wanted to make these as part of the gift. Here I am late on Friday night, with the shower tomorrow. Nothing like waiting until the last minute.

Regardless of your timeline, this project is too easy with too cute results. These materials will make two sets of three cloths. (Or one set of six. Three of two?) All you need is:
3 coordinating fat quarters
1 1/2 yards solid color flannel
thread
scissors
sewing machine

1. Pre wash and dry your fabric. Because you’re using cotton and flannel together, it’s important to pre-shrink the fabric.

2. Cut your fat quarters and flannel to 9″ x 21″ (You should have six flannel pieces and fat quarter pieces)

3. Place a fat quarter piece and a flannel piece right sides facing each other. Sew around the edges with a straight stitch, leaving a 4″ gap on a short end to allow for turning.

4. Cut off any excess fabric around the edges

5. Turn the cloth right-side out, making sure to push out the corners.

6. Sew the opening closed, making sure to keep the seems turned under.

7. Using a zig-zag stitch, sew around the edge again, about 1/4″ in for reinforcement.

8. Fold neatly, stack, and package using ribbon and a gift tag.

Project difficult: Easy does it.
Time Required: 45 minutes
