How to Make Baby Burp Cloths

If you have a baby like Abigail, you can never have too many burp cloths. Abigail had GERD, so spitting up was a very regular event. We literally kept two burp cloths in every room and constantly had cloths over our shoulders.
A lot of the burp cloths that you’ll find in stores are so thin and ineffective for a baby like Abigail. So, what I found worked best were cloth diapers. But they’re kinda plain, so here’s how you can dress them up.
And I am definitely a novice sewer, so know that these are so easy to make!
Items Needed
- Sewing machine
- Cloth Diapers. Make sure they’re pre folded and 3-ply
- Ribbon
- Matching Thread and White Thread
Directions
Wash the cloth diapers and iron them before you begin sewing, so that sewing the ribbon won’t cause shrinkage.
Measure your ribbon for the an inch or so wider than the width of the cloth bottom and cut.- Then, fold the ends of the ribbon and iron so you can sew more easily.
Sew the ends of the ribbon.
Sew the edges of the ribbon onto the bottom of the cloth. 
Fold the burp rag like this, and you’re all done.
