Burp Cloths

I'm hoping for a couple more non-spit-uppy babies like my first born but I think I will hope for the best and prepare for the worst since there won't be any free time to prepare for anything after the babies arrive.

A set of these easy-to-make burp cloths make a lovely gift for an expectant mother too.  If you are expecting twins, you just keep the whole batch for yourself ;o)

  To Make:

1. Buy a pack of cloth diapers.  I bought my 12-pack at Babies R Us for $15.
2. Wash and dry the diapers and fabric scraps.
3. After you pre-shrink the diapers, measure the rectangular panel in the center of the diaper.  Mine was 17.5" x 4".  
4. Add 1/2" seam allowance to your measurement.  Mine would then be 18.5" x 5".
5. Cut panels (18.5 x 5) from scrap fabric.
6. Press 1/2" seam allowance toward the wrong side of the fabric on all 4 sides.
7. Pin the panel onto the diaper and top stitch it into place.
