Baby Girl Burpcloths

Good friends of ours who live on the East Coast just found out they will be grandparents for the first time. I made burp cloths of course for the baby-to-be, expected in May. Can you guess the gender from my fabric selections? The following photos show the four complementary pairs. Each is folded in thirds. 





The flannel is a fairly recent design so it probably is still available. Here are the selvages for the source information. Top and bottom flannels had no info on them. Other selvages read Bunnies by the Bay from Timeless Treasures. Note the cute carrots for the color registration "dots". The freeform polka dots are by designer Ann Kelle for Robert Kaufman fabrics. I wrote a tutorial on how to make these burp cloths in my blog post for June 18, 2014 for those interested.


Perhaps these flannel burp cloths will have a home at Grandma and Grandpa's house for those dainty little upchucks when their precious granddaughter is visiting. Instead Grandma and Grandpa may pass them on for daily use by mom and dad. They are fun to make, super absorbent with the triple thick center, and so soft to cuddle I had to give each an extra squeeze before tucking it in the box to mail.

  1. Your Burp cloths are the best. I am sure the new parents will be very pleased to have them, and that the new grandparents will be pleased they provided the necessary connection to make it happen!
