Cutie Burp Clothes

Cutie Burp Clothes

First of I have to share that my wonderful hubby and Emma's Daddy to be came into the room and asked me what I was doing. I said that I was making cute burp clothes. He asked what is a burp cloth does it make them burp? No it is to catch what comes out with they burp. Oh ... So its a Fancy Spit Rag! 

Well here is to my Cutie Spit Rags then!!

I wanted to make these so that they would match the other items I have been making and the patterns and colors that I am using in all Emma's Stuff. 

Here is how I did it and what you will need. 

Need: 

- Ruler or rotary mat to measure with.

- Something to cut with.

- Fabrics of your choice(I used 5 fabrics).

-  Gerber 5 pack of cloth diapers (I used two packs).

- Iron.

- Thread and Sewing Machine.

I started by ironing out the diapers so that they would be easier to sew on .... & yes I am watching Bones on  my computer!

I then cut out the center strips of fabric. For my diapers I measured that I needed a 5'' by 20'' piece (but make sure you measure your diapers). Then I ironed the strips out as well.

Then to make it easier on me and the sewing machine I ironed down a half inch seam on each side and the tops I ironed, folded and ironed again.

I then sewed around the whole strip with a 1/8 '' seam to help me keep the edges in place when applying them to the diapers.

Pin the strips to the center of the diaper so that it will fold into thirds still.

I then made a 1/4'' seam around the whole Strip. I noticed that the fabric on the edges was too lose so I added another 1/8'' seam and to be honest I love the effect that it gave and I know that the Strip is not going to move or shift in the laundry.

& the beautiful finished projects!!!
