Learn how to make flannel burp cloths with this quick DIY project.

With a few pieces of flannel, a sewing machine and some thread, you can make your own burp cloths.

They soft and absorbent burp cloths are perfect for a new baby!

My sister had her second baby during the summer.

With all the use that burp cloths get, they get kind of gross. I knew she would appreciate some new ones.

Baby burp cloths make the perfect handmade gift for new moms.

I have shared a super easy burp cloth before. The drawback of that tutorial is that you need a serger.

The average DIYer doesn't have a serger, so I set out to create some burp cloths using a regular sewing machine.

HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE BURP CLOTHS

One of the things I love about these burp rags is that they're rectangular in shape.

This not only makes them easier to use, but also a lot easier to make. I mean, who came up with the peanut shaped burp cloth anyway?

No need for a burp cloth pattern with this simple project. Just grab some cute fabric (scrap fabric works great!) And you'll have homemade burp cloths in no time.

Made with soft cotton flannel, these cloths are soft on baby's face.

Let's get started with this simple tutorial!

Keep reading for the picture tutorial. Or watch the video tutorial.

Begin with two pieces of fabric that are 20" X 12". Place them right sides together. In other words, lay one piece of fabric right side up. Place the other piece with the right side down.

Sew along the edge of the fabric on three sides, leaving one end open. Use a simple straight stitch and 1/4 to 1/2 inch seam allowance.

Clip the corners to remove excess bulk.

turn fabric right side out and press flat

Turn the fabric right side out and press flat.

Fold the edges inward and press flat.

Top stitch all the way around the burp cloth, starting with the open edge.

The top stitch should be close to the edge of the fabric. Try for about 1/8th inch from the edges of your burp cloth.

That's all there is to it! You could seriously make these in 10-15 minutes.

They are perfect for a last minute baby shower gift. They're so easy!
