Homemade Burp Cloths
These are a few burp cloths that I made for my sister's yet-to-born baby. They are so easy to make - the original idea came from Mrs. Wilt at www.thesparrowsnest.typepad.com. Here are the instructions:
You will need terrycloth fabric, your choice of cotton fabric, and thread. The amount of fabric you need will be based on how many burp cloths you want to make. I bought 1 1/2 yards of terrycloth and had way more than enough for 5 burp cloths. The fabric was different lengths that I had on hand.
Wash and press your material first. Then cut out your material, trimming your fabric and terrycloth the same size. I made mine 10" x 16". Place the fabric and terrycloth with the good sides facing each other and pin. Run a stitch down each side of the rectangle, leaving a 2" or 3" hole on one side. Through this hole, turn your fabrics right side out and hand-stitch closed.
