Hmmm, I'm reallly thinking about doing this. I'm sitting here comparing prices for burp clothes at WM, Target and BRU... Fabric costs aren't that high, and I could make several from a good piece!

Input? Would you do it too?

    And if you make things for your baby (or other babies), advice is welcome!

    Go for it!! I would if I had a sewing machine but there's no way im going to hand stitch them all, I have no patience for that kinda thing.

    Yeah, a burp cloth would be super super easy to make. Just cut out a square or rectangle in some cotton or soft flannel and stitch up the ends so it doesn't fray. You could embroider some cute stuff on it too :) I'm going crazy making baby stuff. I've made a fleece squid hat, a teddy bear, and right now I'm working on a panda hat with matching paw print gloves. I'm thinking of making a mobile and some stroller toys and I'm going to start making some mittens.

    I always had to use cloth diapers for burp cloths for my girls since they spit up a lot. The really pretty ones just aren't absorbent enough for me. I'm having a hard time finding ones that aren't plain white, but I just came up with an idea of doing a little embroidery on the plain cloth diapers. I've seen a lot of stitch books with super cute stuff. I'm going to look into doing that.

    I was thinking about doing something like this. and I'm a bit of a geek and was thinking about making a play mat periodic table. I love the idea of adding extra learning in a fun way. I say go for it girlie! I'm going to find a family member that isn't friends with their sewing machine anymore and will let me use it lol.

    Yea, I saw that the flannel juat aren't as absorbent as cloth. So I'm deff going to do cloth.

    Too bad I left my sewing maching in my mom's shed in tx, so hand stitch it is for me! I have plenty of time on my hands anyway, lol.
  • rckprincess2rckprincess2
    Lol hey I'm n tx...n I could use a sewing machine jkjk =) why not get her to mail it to u? I mean until then u could hand sew.
  • caroline8_pcaroline8_p
    Cause I still have 2 boxes of stuff to mail that i couldnt when we moved (still cant) Both for sure going to cost a nice penny over $50 each. I'd rather be able to buy baby things than spend money shipping stuff. Lol.
