How to make a contour burp cloth
I've been looking around on etsy.com and I noticed that burp cloths are selling like crazy, and then I had a thought, "hey I could make those". So I looked around at other blogs and had no luck looking for what I wanted. So I made myself a pattern and I decided that I can share the process of making one. (There really easy to make) If you can't sew and want one you can see them in my store real soon.
Materials
- Flannel fabric, or terry cloth and cotton fabric. You won't need much
- Dosew (tracing paper for fabric) or you can use easel paper like I did (this is for your pattern)
- Batting (Optional)
- Sewing essentials (sewing machine, scissors, thread, etc.)
Once you gather your supplies your going to have to make a pattern for your burp cloth. I free handed mine
|
This is my pattern, it's 18" long and it's 8 1/2" at the widest and 6 1/2" the thinnest. | | |
|
|
|
Once you get your pattern the way that you want it too, trace the pattern onto dusew or keep it on paper. Pin pattern and cut |
|
Once you get 2 pieces cut out, pin wrong sides together(if using batting it goes fabric fabric batting) |
|

Once pinned use a 1/4" seam alowence don't forget to leave an opening |
|
Clip corners before you turn over |
|
|
once flipped press. |
|
Open up the burp cloth using the opening that you have |
|
|
To top stitch I used a pink that matches. |
|
Once you've top stitched this is how it will look. | |
