40+ Free Baby Burp Cloth Patterns

A set of colorful 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. 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.

And 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 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!

Since you'll probably be making your burp cloths from cotton fabrics (and of
course, you'll want your recipient to be able to launder them) remember to
preshrink your fabric (and any trims too). And since cotton fabrics don't always
shrink their maximum amount with the first washing, you may want to preshrink
your fabrics more than once.

perfect.
