I made sets of bibs and burpers for several years for craft fairs. I used flannel on one side, cotton fabric on the other and a thin batting in between ... for both the bib and burper. Top stitched when done to anchor the batting. I sold them by the hundreds!

I use themo line plus interfacing. It is a thicker interfacing and softer. It's thick enough that it soaks stuff up better. I also use it in bibs.

Hi Bonnie, I have made literally dozens of burp cloths. I use 2 layers of flannel....I like nice heavier weight of soft flannel. I make mine pillowcase style and add a border of a cute baby print to the bottom for some style and color.
Mom's seem to love them as they always request additional burps!

A burpcloth for a little boy, done in applique style. I try to match the print to the applque.

Obviously for a little girl with a cute flirty ruffle attached!

More embroidered burps with 2 soft flannel washcloths added to the package.

I make burb clothes with two different coordinated flannels and a thin layer of cotton batting. Everyone I have given them to rave about them.

Sheriann - your burp cloths are adorable. I had already planned to spend today making a bunch for my daughter to give to several friends who have recently become parents. The envelope method, and ruffles - love those ideas. Thanks!!!!!

I made some with the polar fleece but just on the backing with flannel on top.....they seem to keep spit up from coming through. Just a thought......Jan

I make burp cloths using bought diapers. Add fabric trim to each end and you have a great burp cloth. If you have an embroidery machine, embroider something to match the fabric trim. My nieces love them.
