Burp Cloths

I have had these burp cloths half finished for a while now and decided that I should finish them. I think they are so cute. I made girl ones and boy ones. Chandler doesn't really need anymore so I think I will just keep them all and use them as part of baby gifts if I have to give any. I had some really cute green sports fabric that I used to make Chandler and Colin some burp cloths earlier this year. I couldn't resist the girl fabric so that is why I made some of each.

I'm sorry I don't really have a pattern for you. I just traced a burp cloth that I already had and used that. I love the rickrack but it is more time consuming so that is why only a few of them got it.

UPDATE:


So I guess I can tell you how to make them. I was thinking I don't really have measurements so I don't have a pattern but I can describe how. A 1/2 yard of fabric will make 2 burp cloths. I just keep the fabric folded the way I buy it. (You know how it is fold on the cardboard thing the fabric is on) I trace the burp cloth on it and cut them out. Then I decide if I want to mix up two fabrics or keep it them the same on both sides. I put rights sides facing each other and sew around it and leave a tiny hole. Then I flip it the right way and flatten out and tuck in the hole and top stitch around the whole thing to close the hole. I use zig zag when I can figure out the settings for it or some of them I just did a straight stitch. It looks good both ways.

If you put in the rickrack, you just pin it in between the two pieces and sew around, then flip and I just top stitch the little hole closed. It doesn't look the greatest but I don't know how to hand stitch so I call it good.

JoAnn's has a big variety of flannel and it goes on sale for $2/yard sometimes and that is when I buy it because it only cost me a dollar to make two. Not bad!
