Burp Cloths

51 Comment

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

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

These are great, I cleaned out my linen cupboard and cut up excess flannelette sheets and towels, one for each side and it made alot! Perfect for baby!

I used to use a hand towel, you can wash it a much as you need to. Or just a piece of white towelling.

Burp cloths are so useful, and you can use them to wipe up spills once you introduce solids.
