Burp Cloth Tutorial

I have had so much fun experimenting and playing with my new sewing machine. There are so many fun things that you can create. With so many friends having little ones in a few months, burp cloths are a must. Here is a simple tutorial to get you started. Remember, you can change dimensions, fabrics and thread... that's the great part about doing it yourself!

to make:
   1 yard of fabric
   1 terrycloth bath towel
   thread
   sewing machine
   pins
   fabric scissors

Start off by laying out and cutting your fabric. You can make your dimensions anything you want. I made mine a little bigger for more coverage! (22inch x 15inch). Next pin your fabric and terrycloth together right side facing inward.


Sew along 3 of the side of the pinned fabric and terry cloth. 


Turn right side out and sew the final side together. (You can also do a top stitch along all sides of the cloth to make it a more uniform look all the way through)


Congratulations! You're done. Now all you have to do it wrap it up in a cute little package. New parents will LOVE this gift... they can never have enough burp cloths!
