Uber cute idea!!! I am definitely working on breathing life back into my sewing skills and this would be cake!

Cheers~

These are adorable, I remember getting a couple similar to these as a gift, in cowboy prints (for Max) and I loved them so much I actually have saved them. Great tip and tutorial!! Janell

Well, I’m past the burp cloth stage. Could you do this for kitchen towels or do you have any tutorials on those?

i love it! My son is a spitter as well and I just decided to add fabric to the cloth diapers I use for burp clothes but i absolute love the idea of using terry cloth and linen! Thanks for the tip! By the way…when did your children stop spitting up? My son is 8 months old and spits like crazy and has been doing so since he was like a month old! So far we just always have a burp cloth around and follow him around the house with oxy clean spray! =-)

I love this! My bf made burp cloths for me for a recent shower. The possibilities are endless!! I will definitely bring out my sewing machine and make more!!

Love this idea even though Landon is not much of a spitter-upper {lucky me}. I am going to try to make these for a friend of mine who is expecting a baby girl.

Be sure to enter my Halloween giveaway.

Have a wonderful day!

Oh mine both had reflux. it was awful and we lived in burp cloths! I think yours are quite possibly the prettiest ones I’ve seen! If I had any sort of skill I certainly would attempt to make one! Have a wonderful day!

Love this! You make it so easy, I’m going to try it out.

This is a wonderful alternative! We always use cloth diapers and add a strip of funky fabric. I will have to try this if I ever decide to have #2. Where do you find your fabulous linen colors?

ADORABLE EMILY

Burpies are my favorite gift to make for baby showers. So easy, but so cute and practical too! I usually use the cloth diapers, but this is an even easier way to make them.

Such a great idea. When we have another baby I am for sure going to make my own burp cloths. Thanks for sharing!

I too just doctored up some burp cloths with cute fabric. And I really like your idea of using terry cloth or chenille. I will have to try those out as I continue to nest. =)

you make me wish I could sew!

You make everything look so easy! Now, all I need is a sewing machine . . .

How adorable! We love functional and fashionably made bibs & burpies too…our very own!
Meander over to our Etsy shop and let us know what you think!

Thanks for sharing your tips!

Very cute! How did you make your labels!?

baby “tyler” is really going to love these!

I can’t wait to make these! Also, I know this if a little off topic but CONGRATS on being featurd on Ohdeedoh today!!!

SUPER CUTE! What a great project to ease myself back into sewing (instead of jumping into the deep end by attempting a slipcover!). My sister is having a boy in Dec and my mind is flooded with possibilities…off to find fabric!

Super cute!!! I think I need to purchase a sewing machine so I can make these…. I have so many friends who are expecting and these would make a great gift! Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Burp cloths was my request for the “5 Days” series, so I was thrilled to see it this morning! They are adorable and you do make it look so simple!

So adorable! No more babies for me but I love this idea!

You always choose the yummiest fabrics…love the stack, especially the linen. Too bad I’m done with the burp cloth stage. I’ll have to find another use!

This is a great gift idea! My brother and sister-in-law are having their 5th (finally a boy) child in November. Can’t wait to pick out fabrics.

Thanks!

You are my burp cloth angel! I have a spitter little boy. I have tons of burp cloths but I (believe it or not) could use some more. I really wanted to make some but (as silly as it sounds) didn’t dare. I think I can handle what you’ve so clearly shown hear. THANK YOU!

Functional /and/ beautiful ;D Another neat tutorial – thanks Emily! You should add it to the tutorial list on your sidebar!

I’m wondering where you got the professional-looking labels you use? I’d love to have some for my projects.

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

these are great and so cute! if you dont mind me asking what kind of sewing machine do you use?

So I have been addicted to your website over the last month and have been trying many of the things on here. I did my daughter’s room in the wallpaper pattern and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Thanks for the inspiration. Where did you order your labels? I looked up printed ribbon and fabric labels but everything was very expensive. Any suggestions?

I made these last week for a double baby shower. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. Here’s a link to my finished product! (Perfected with your flower pin.) http://brynnabegins.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/homemade-burp-cloths/

I’m literally in the middle of Nebraska and don’t have access to much linen that isn’t plain white. Where do you get your linen fabric?? Is there any other fabric that’s worked well for you?
LOVE your site. You are incredibly talented and creative.

love this tutorial. i am bookmarking for my next little one

I was wondering where you get your fabric?

I work at JoAnn’s and felt so proud to see their name in your website! I have used lots of your tutorials when we had SNOW here in TN and I needed to be crafty in order not to get cabin fever:) I love your different ideas:)

Thanks for the tutorial. My baby boy is super spitty so these are so helpful and cute. I also made some for a friend that I gave to her at the baby shower I threw her.

I have been looking for clothing tags similar to yours but can’t seem to find a good company inside the states. Mind me asking where you order yours from?

I love these! My husband and I just found out we are pregnant and my girlfriend is about to have her second. I am so excited to get going on a set for us both!

I am just now getting to make these for myself and our 4th baby. I am so excited at how easy they are to make and how many different fabrics that can be used! Yippee! SO much better than just a plan ol’ cloth diaper. I am even going to make a few to put under his little head in the bed so that if he spits, I can just throw the cloth in the wash instead of the whole sheet (at least that is my goal!)

I (and apparently a few others of us) would like to know how you make your lables. Do you have special fabric that can go through your printer, or do you do iron-on transfers, or some other method? I would really like to know your tips for getting graphics and pretty lettering strait to fabric so nicely.
Thanks very much & Happy Week!

I am going to make some of these for my grand daughter that is expecting a baby girl in July.

I have never been able to sew, even though my mother gave me a sewing maching a few years ago. I think I’m going to try it. I like these. They seem like a good jumping off point for me to learn how to sew!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I’ve been looking back at it since you posted it last year. Now that I’m 38 weeks pregnant, my Mom and I are making these for our new one on the way. Such a sweet – and fashionable – idea.

Great Ideas!

Just made these as a baby shower gift, and adapted the idea and made bibs too! They turned out great – thanks for the inspiration!

I just made some of these for one of my best friends who’s baby is due in 5 weeks!!! I love the design and think the terry cloth towel part will work great!!!! THANKS!!!
