How To Make Burp Cloths

<p>When you feed a baby there’s often puree or soup all over the place. Stains from food are quite hard to wash out from clothes. But you can sew a burp cloth to avoid them. It is really easy to do.</p> <p><strong>You will need the following:</strong></p> <ul><li> 2 pieces of cloth about 30x30 cm.;</li><li>80 cm. of Bias binding (you can either buy it or sew it yourself);</li><li>some waterproof material;</li><li>3 appliques that you can make yourself.</li></ul> <p><strong>Then:</strong></p> <p>1. Draw the pattern on paper.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/9aqKX1ZIQ58yBcUbcslkFtVzy00=/f13e96edd018458795c55f3e2a8d6b27"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/9aqKX1ZIQ58yBcUbcslkFtVzy00=/f13e96edd018458795c55f3e2a8d6b27" data-image="26257"></a></figure> <p>2. Fold each piece of cloth in halves with their faces inside, put the pattern on top of it and pin it.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/Ul0cf-RPHT3sa_Tr3uXFQrgiCOU=/d6a4edb970d84843862b5d383eaaf5f0"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/Ul0cf-RPHT3sa_Tr3uXFQrgiCOU=/d6a4edb970d84843862b5d383eaaf5f0" data-image="26258"></a></figure> <p>3. Circle the pattern with a pencil or a piece of chalk and copy the contour at 1-1.5 cm., so that you will have the allowance for stitches.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AQL9q_NXXRsu-sZuhHR86tYFLwk=/37b8cf033fb3406596c74113245f5429"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AQL9q_NXXRsu-sZuhHR86tYFLwk=/37b8cf033fb3406596c74113245f5429" data-image="26259"></a></figure> <p>4. Draw a line on one of the pieces along which you will sew the halves of the burp cloth together.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/ws_mtFgeKQ2o_rsZqQ-itxCvlxI=/4c6031e7af74495a8fa005fc866beca4"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/ws_mtFgeKQ2o_rsZqQ-itxCvlxI=/4c6031e7af74495a8fa005fc866beca4" data-image="26260"></a></figure> <p>5. Cut out both parts.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/ApYUSAu2-pApCc3oIkPFRGvO1fo=/b051c153633840ada40a8354ad553409"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/ApYUSAu2-pApCc3oIkPFRGvO1fo=/b051c153633840ada40a8354ad553409" data-image="26261"></a></figure> <p>6. Put them with their faces inside and stitch it along the contour with a sewing machine. Do not stitch the gorge!</p> <p>7. Cut the allowance leaving only 0.5 cm. and make incisions in the corners as close to the stitch as possible.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/rM84Mfnh0-WLIndVUuqnr86fRp8=/cb2746cd55044455a8c46dc32979caff"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/rM84Mfnh0-WLIndVUuqnr86fRp8=/cb2746cd55044455a8c46dc32979caff" data-image="26263"></a></figure> <p>8. Evert the burp cloth to the face side and draw out the cloth in the corners using a needle.</p> <p>9. Iron it.</p> <p>10. Stitch the edges at 0.3-0.5 cm., so that the shape will hold on.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/-onKzvsQBhTpgewTzBH3Bm1n-Rc=/68b1046fce3b46e3a0cff6e9f4fa1752"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/-onKzvsQBhTpgewTzBH3Bm1n-Rc=/68b1046fce3b46e3a0cff6e9f4fa1752" data-image="26264"></a></figure> <p>11.

Take a buckram or some other waterproof material, cut a smaller shape and insert it inside the burp cloth. Now it will not get wet!</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/Q7gWnrOa1_Scoipxu32bHeZBZTM=/d9d50da971354385a409af655fab3b3d"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/Q7gWnrOa1_Scoipxu32bHeZBZTM=/d9d50da971354385a409af655fab3b3d" data-image="26266"></a></figure> <p>13. Buy some bias binding or make it yourself. Cut a strip 4 cm. wide and 80 cm. long. Fold it in halves and iron. Then fold the corners inside and iron it again.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AhzK2T9djyYQTXbHbI5df3vbfSE=/44fe843fbd9c42c6a3ae0c86e15cda16"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/AhzK2T9djyYQTXbHbI5df3vbfSE=/44fe843fbd9c42c6a3ae0c86e15cda16" data-image="26267"></a></figure> <p>14. Sew the Bias binding to the gorge.</p> <p>Decorate the burp cloth. Pin the applique to it and stitch it using the sewing machine.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/DOQ49fiTXZbC0XY0GOEf50FAmQc=/d1738736439b46ee8c19263a0c17f9a3"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/DOQ49fiTXZbC0XY0GOEf50FAmQc=/d1738736439b46ee8c19263a0c17f9a3" data-image="26268"></a></figure> <p>The burp cloth is ready!</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/mtSrVJuPcs3hZySOkfoTfCTkBOA=/c71ed0ba02824be4aa1d4125659ae9a9"><img src="https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.ru/thumbs/mtSrVJuPcs3hZySOkfoTfCTkBOA=/c71ed0ba02824be4aa1d4125659ae9a9" data-image="26270"></a></figure>
