BURP CLOTH AND BIB AT PRUDENT BABY

DIY BURP CLOTH HOW-TO

Photobucket
Yesterday we made a Pocket Bib and today we are making a matching terry burp cloth so we have a DIY bib & burp cloth gift set.  This burp cloth is wildly simple.
I used a terry hand towel but you could use any fabric you prefer.  Get the full burp cloth tutorialafter the jump
And thanks for the post Craft Gossip!

1. Wash, iron and cut your fabric.  I used the same Alexander Henry Canyon flutter in pink that i used for the pocket bib and a terry hand towel.  You can make it any size you like, just add 1/2″ for the seam allowance.  I cut my fabric 18″ X 8″.

2. Pin your fabrics together right sides facing:
3.  Sew them together with 1/4″ seam allowance, leaving a hole for turning and back stitching at the beginning and end:
4.  Trim the edges, clip the corners and turn it right side out, then iron it nice and flat:
5.  Top stitch around the edge, closing the turning hole as you go:
Voila!
Package it up with a matching bib and you’ve got an adorable gift set in under an hour for under $5!
