Burp Cloth: Baby Shower Triology Part 2

Every new parent needs LOTS of burp cloths.  These are simple to enhance with scraps of fabric and/or ribbon.  You never know when you might see your burp cloth out in public.  Parents tend to use anything available at home to wipe little faces, but there are always a couple of "nice" cloths that make it to the diaper bag for special outings.  Lets make the new parents-to-be something they are proud to carry out.

Supplies:
Cloth diapers (you can purchase 12 for $11 at Walmart or Target- Gerber name brand)
*** there is diaper material at your fabric store if you want to take the time to cut, prefold, and sew down
1/8 yard of fabric
or
Roll of ribbon

Here is what the diaper looks like and the scrap of fabric that I am using.

Cut the fabric to the length plus one inch for turning it under.  Then make the piece 6 inches wide - this includes the extra for the folding under..



I went ahead and ironed the edges.  You need to turn the hem up 1/4-1/2" all the way around.  Then iron the piece in half, so the crease makes a nice envelope for the cloth diaper.  PIN in about four places.  You think that it won't move on you and it will.

See this is a quick, but cute fix to a plain cloth diaper.  NOW, since I have an embroidery machine would embroider the name or applique a design on it. You will add about $10 to the project if you have to take it to the embroidery store.
