How to Sew Burp Cloths

These are super easy to sew and make a really cute baby shower gift.

1/3 yard decorative fabric. 1/3 yard terrycloth, chenille or other absorbent material of your choice. Thread. Sewing machine. Rotary cutter, mat and ruler. Pins. Iron.

Wash and dry your fabric and terrycloth or chenille. Iron your decorative fabric.

Cut your fabric into two 11x21" pieces. Cut your terrycloth a little larger than your fabric.

(When I sew I like to use 1/2" hems, so your finished piece will be 10x20".)

Pin fabric and terrycloth right sides together.

Sew fabric and terrycloth together. Make sure to leave a 4" opening so that you can turn your piece right side out.

Trim any excess terrycloth so that it is even with your decorative fabric.

Clip corners at a 45 degree angle.

Turn right sides out, pushing the corners out with your fingers.

Iron the entire piece. Then fold in the edges of your 4" opening, press and pin.

Topstitch around the perimeter of your burp cloth.
