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!!! |
