One of the families I nanny for has another one on the way! If you know me or have been reading this blog for some time, you know I love to make baby gifts (onesies, more onesies and that quilt)! This time I opted for something simple - burp cloths. There are tons of tutorials out there, but I settled on this one because it didn't involve anything too complicated and turning things inside/right-side out was not in the instructions. :-)
I wish I would have taken some pictures of the process, but I did all my work at night and lighting sucked. I decided to go with more "boy" pattens rather than "baby boy" patterns. I used flannel if you're wondering.
Besideds looking like giant pads (without wings), I think they turned out pretty good. The edges are frayed, here is a closer look...
The only thing I did different than the tutorial was quilting the cloth rather than just sewing one line across the middle. They seem pretty absorbent and I think they will do a perfect job of catching baby spit-up!


I think they turned out great!
ReplyDeleteLove them!! Even if the baby doesn't spit up that much you can use them for so much.
ReplyDeleteA friend made me some for Alexis from reusable diapers and just sewed like appliques on them.
