15 Minute Burp Cloths

I am in love with these burp cloths.

They are so quick and easy to make, and can we just say, adorable?!

If you remember, a few weeks ago, I did a post for DIY Reversible Bibs.

Check out that post for a free template for the bibs. Once you are done with that, you use the same fat quarter and make a matching burp cloth!

These make great gifts for a new mom or mom-to-be.

The burp cloth is long enough to cover the front and back of the shoulder area, which keeps all of the spit-up from getting on her cute outfit...or heaven forbid, in her hair.

Yes. Those have both happened to me because the burp cloths I was using weren't big enough.

Alright, let's see how easy it is to whip these up!

Just like with the bibs, I just used a fat quarter and a towel. I picked up a plain white towel on clearance for $1.97.

Cut the towel and fabric 6" x 13 1/2"

Turn the fabric over and pin it right side down onto the towel.

 Next, I just sewed a straight-stitch all around the burp cloth.
Make sure to leave a 2-3" opening.

Pulling itself through the opening, turn the burp cloth right side out.

 Fold the edges in where you have the opening, and pin it closed.

 Close up the opening with a zig-zag stitch, and continue the stitch around the entire burp cloth to give it a nice finish.

And that's it!!
Here are 3 that I've made for an upcoming baby shower.

 I just need to wrap a bow around these and add it to the bag of goodies for the mom-to-be :)

*Update: I have recorded a step-by-step video as another way to show you how to whip these burpcloths, check it out and let me know what you think!
