A quick sew which makes a great baby shower gift, especially when combined with matching bibs.


Material

  • 2 types of Flannelette Fabric
  • Thread
  • Existing burp cloth

Method

  1. Trace around you existing burp cloth onto the 2 fabrics so they mirror each other, leaving a 3/8 inch extra seam allowance.
  2. Place your fabric pieces right sides together and pin.
  3. Stitch together using a 3/8 inch seam allowance and leave a 2 inch gap for turning.
  4. Trim edges and clip corners. Snip any curved edges.
  5. Turn right way out and iron. Fold the edges of the turning hole in and press.
  6. Top stitch around the outside using a complimentary thread and beginning with the turning hole to close it.

Notes

If you don’t have a burp bib handy to trace you can find plenty of free patters online. Or you can just cut rectangles - 30cm wide and 50cm high gives me a size I’m happy with but do what works for you.

  • The size of a hand towel is about right – that’s the guide I use.

  • I had never heard of burp cloths before. Thanks for showing us how to make them. They would come in handy for more than just burps, I feel.

  • I’ve made so many burb/dribble cloths and they have really come in handy. The difference I made was to use toweling fabric on one side, then the fabric side I matched to whatever bandana bib I was making. Super cute, and a great idea for baby showers or a mum and bub dignity bag.

  • I have been using these burp cloths for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with their quality and performance. They are soft, absorbent, and easy to wash. They come in a variety of cute patterns and colors that match my baby’s outfits. They are also large enough to cover my shoulder and chest when I burp my baby, preventing any spit-up from staining my clothes. I would highly recommend these burp cloths to any new parent who is looking for a practical and stylish product
