Baby Boy {Burp} Cloths!

Taking a little break from the Ice Cream, Cupcakes, & Pie of the 4th of July preparations to bring you the exciting new that my sister-in-law had a baby boy a couple weeks ago! That brings the cousin count up to 8 and my older daughter is just thrilled beyond belief! We got the chance to iChat with baby Bailey a couple times last week and he is just the cutest little guy. So with his cuteness in mind I went to work on my sewing machine and whipped him up 3 special burp cloths. It always pains me to cut into a fresh yard of coveted fabric, but he is definitely worthy of my Ann Kelle and Gator fabrics! I hope he enjoys spitting up on them as much as I enjoyed making them for him!

Using pre-folded organic cotton burp cloths you can pick up in almost any baby section, these colorful burp cloths are easy to make.

Cut a piece of fabric the width of the middle panel plus 1.5" inches and as long as the burp cloth plus another 1.5" for seams, along with 2 pieces of jumbo ric rac the length of your cloth.

Fold the raw edges 1/4" and iron and then another 1/2" and iron - all the way around.

Pin the ric rac half way under the folded edged and top sew all the way around using a tight seam allowance.

Bam, you're done, let the spitting up commence.
