Need an easy sewing project, try a Burp Cloths

easy sewing projectIf you don’t have kids, you might know someone who does and a burp cloth is an easy sewing project to manage.

Kids… I’m learning as a new dad, drool  and spit up everywhere and on everything. Rest assured, this project will be appreciated by you and everything the little one touches.

You can keep it simple or pick a fun pattern, in the end, it won’t be on the baby that long, especially if your little one drools like mine.

  1. I used two different receiving blanks that were different patterns.
  2. I ended up cutting them into two triangle pieces, about the size of a bandanna folded into a triangle.
  3. Then I made sure the sides I wanted on the outside were facing in towards each other. before I started sewing.
  4. Find the thread color that closely matches the patter of the two peaces of fabric that you are working with.
  5. I sewed around the edges using a straight stitch and left about two inches at the end of my sew to flip everything right side out.
  6. I finished sewing the ends and used velcro on the tips of the cloth to hold the end pieces together when I put the cloth on my son.

You don’t have to use receiving blankets, you can use any material you don’t mind getting dirty, but I would warn against any heavy weight material because it could get hot.

Here is another way you could do it make do this sewing project! Better than just me explaining it, watch!

I hate to admit it but sometimes we just don’t have time to sew everything we want.
