Sewing Quick Tip:
Always test fusible interfacing by applying it to a scrap of your fabric first before applying it to your garment piece. This is to make sure you like the look and feel of the interfacing with your fabric and to help you time the bonding process.

A set of colorful baby burp cloths can
make a great baby shower gift. And the
simplest designs are not only quick and
easy to make, but can be quite
inexpensive too. And many of these
tutorials present fun and creative ideas
for dressing up your birth cloths with
fringe, trim, or ruffles. You may even want
to ask the mother to be about her nursery
decor and choose coordinating fabrics.
Since you'll probably be making your burp

Because of their simple shapes, burp cloths can be a great first project for someone who's just

If you'll be giving your burp cloths as a gift, have fun with your presentation! You can roll up
several burp cloths and place them into a basket or gift bag or you can simply tie a ribbon
around them. And you may want to check out Whipperberry and Cute as a Fox for two adorable
tutorials for making your burp cloths look like cupcakes!
