“B” is for Burp Cloths #3

September 26, 2012

Sew: personalized baby boy burp cloths

A friend requested two sets of burp cloths for newborn baby gifts:

We went with classic navy and blue boy colored ribbons down the middle:
And my friend asked for a slightly different personalization on each burp cloth.
MONOGRAM:
FIRST NAME:
FIRST & MIDDLE NAME:
And my favorite just the FIRST INITIAL:
It’s hard to see in the picture above but the navy ribbon has a red stitch running down the edges:
All tied up and ready to gift:
Here’s how I made the burp cloths:

1. Choose grosgrain ribbons 5/8″ wide works best:
And use prewashed cloth baby diapers.
2. Straight stitch ribbon on inner panel seam:

3. Cut out fabric letters to fit and pin in place:
(Fabric letter tutorial here.)

4. Zig zag stitch bigger letters.
5. For smaller letters handstitch over fabric letters.
For the tiny letters I used heat-n-bond to hold the letter in place while stitching.
