There are lots of babies joining by extended family soon, so I’ve been awash in little projects for the little people.
I had bought some extra flannel when making the Infant Flannel Sheets last week, and used them to make custom burp cloths.
Materials
1/2-yard fabric for six burp cloths
Coordinating thread
pins
iron
cardboard cereal box
Steps
- Measure the center third of the cloth diapers you purchased, you should see stitch marks. Mine diapers had a center of about 4 inches by 19 inches. Cut your cereal box to that size.
- Use the cardboard as a template to the cut the fabric about 1/2-inch to 1-inch larger on each side.
- Fold the excess fabric over the sides of the template and iron to hold the folds.
- Pin the fabric over the center section of the diaper.
- Top stitch around the fabric, 1/4 inch from the edge. Try out some of your machine’s decorative stitches.
That’s it!
