How to sew a Burp Cloth - easy for beginners!

[@texasmimi1954]

Thanks for another great video! I've actually made a few burp cloths and had a couple of tips that I use. I use slightly rounded corners on both fabrics-makes turning right side out a little easier, no points to fuss with and stack multiple layers of both backing fabric and top fabric so you can use your cutting mat and rotary cutter to make the process a little quicker. I would cut backing fabric in one stack and cute front fabric in another. Happy stitching!

I watched a "worst baby shower gift" video I was so sad to see that "homemade" "handmade" baby items were really put down and viewed in a negative way. These are absolutely beautiful!!!! I made my friend a custom diaper bag and it was the hit of the shower! Thank you for these videos they are so inspiring :)

[@lavadaallen4047]

stephanie beth I have always found that people who know how to sew are the folks who appreciate the gift more than those who can't sew

I have seen that video also. I think they were trying to be funny and missed the mark. The examples they gave were poorly made/beginner projects that weren't useful, not beautiful heirloom items or useful well made gifts, or at least that is how I interpreted it.

[@jenblunt3604]

I say there is a difference between homemade and handmade. The last being nicer. I, too, make all of my gifts. Hey...we could have got them NOTHING! LOL

[@AnnaSimmons-uj1ib]

Ive made for my nieces babies years ago and now for my granddaughters. The mommies absolutely love them. Thanks to you for this awsome idea. Love your channel.

[@Bdot95]

The sound of your scissors cutting is so satisfying!

[@MADEEveryday]

Hahaha. Thanks Brooklyn! :) Dana

[@starbrown1219]

I stopped sewing for nearly a year, but have started up again , and feeling inspired by you with your positive and happy vibe. I hope you make more videos again.

[@MADEEveryday]

That makes me happy to hear! I'm glad you're excited to sew again :) Have fun! - Dana

[@lindajohnson6423]

I just made these last night. My daughter and her husband had twin baby boys Dec. 11, 2017. This was an excellent video and I have not sewn anything since 1981! I love all your videos and will be trying more of them soon! Thank you for posting this video! Best wishes from Jacksonville, Florida!

[@emilymiller1787]

I have ordered burp cloths boy on Amazon DEFONO store, it is very soft and absorbent.

[@hollylivingston4576]

I love these too and thank you so much for explaining how to make them and sharing your idea . They really do make great gifts . I had a lot of fun making them ! Thanks again ❤

[@romanaraihan1614]

Hi I am new to your channel! I am only 10 and I have a great interest in sewing! I enjoy your videos really much as they are very useful and easy to learn from. I just subscribed btw!😻👌

[@brothertn708]

Romana Raihan nice... it’s been 2 years... are you still into sewing? 🧵

[@E.McK-Crib]

Good job keep it up. Sewing is a wonderful skill to have. I started sewing when I was around your age and now I’m 40 and can create my own patterns. I have also taught my children to sew.

[@charliemansfield664]

For burp cloths, I like 100% cotton absorbent cloth, I often order burp cloths at Amazon DEFONO store, 6 layers muslin cloth can absorb any mess in seconds, protects from sniffles, drips, drools, and water. I hope it helps you. amzn.to/2Plg3YX

[@user-qx7vc3jk2c]

One of my friends is having a baby girl in August. I'm making her this, as well as the bib and blanket you posted. Thanks for uploading.

[@scrappygirl100]

Thanks for this easy tutorial! I whipped up 4 in a very short time. Your tutorial was easy to follow, and I appreciate it.

[@MADEEveryday]

Fantastic! yay! I'm so happy to hear that Gayle. Have fun sewing more! :) Dana

[@Helloitsme027]

First time mom here and I’m trying to cut down cost on items that I need a lot of. These will be great help as I have left over material and I can get a lot from the cotton chenille fabric. Very good tutorial 💖👍

[@mistyhuneycutt9275]

I followed this tutorial and made a dozen burp cloths for my grand baby due in February. ...so easy and cute! I used flannel and diaper cloth.

[@jenndino518]

misty huneycutt did you use the single ply cloth diaper? I have two packs of brand new flannel receiving blankets that I have no use for and I’d love to make more burp cloths so they don’t go to waste

[@mistyhuneycutt9275]

jenndino518 I bought a fabric called diaper cloth at the Walmart fabric counter. It's soft and less than $3 a yard.

[@singmysong1167]

I have another great idea to use them for! If anyone gets irritated with the sharp edges of an attached car seat belt, place one of these cloths between your body and the seat belt, it really helps! I lined mine with a soft thick fleece.

[@nicolettelawlor9178]

I've made these so many times now - thank you. People always love them. Thank you!!

[@amistosa212]

wow...I am in love with your sewing machine. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@marciachin4505]

Thanks for a great idea. I was able to make a set of 3 last night. I have been watching your videos for many years and you are a great teacher. I was a beginner and now I have lots of confidence to make almost anything. Your quilts might be next. :)

[@cynthiagriggs4314]

New to sewing and this looks so easy! Can't wait to try some of these!!

[@sumaiyaabdi8610]

Please show us how to make a diaper bag. Also I'd appreciate if you always mention the specific names of the fabrics so that your international subscribers can go looking for it. Makes it easier I love you & your videos im glad I found you here 😍😍😍

[@SuzetteG316]

Fabric lines come and go so quickly, it wouldn't be helpful for long to know exactly what fabric line she used. Plus this fabric might have been in her stash for months and the line is no longer available. Just use whatever 100% cotton quilting fabric looks good to you and you can't go wrong. :)

[@extortiongates5609]

Going to make some burp cloths for my baby and this has been the easiest video on sewing so far lol THANK YOU

[@kendrawillis1970]

I am new to sewing and love watching your videos. I had no reason to make Burp Clothes but watched the video and decided to make some. I just found out I can do them to the NICU at UK where I work! They are so cute, easy to make, and great practice for the novice .

[@MADEEveryday]

Oh awesome! That's a great idea to give them to the NICU! Love that idea :)

[@jennawilliams9633]

Biiiingggeeee watching. I just found your channel and I'm in love!!!!

[@hollylivingston4576]

Love these and thank you so much for sharing . I’ve been making for my grandkids and just love them !!! 😊

[@UltraFlashlight]

Thanks so much for this video! I bought a pack of muslin swaddles and was unsure if I would get good use out of them once the baby is here. Now I know I can repurpose them and get my money's worth.

[@joyceyager9940]

I make these for every baby shower that I attend. Get lots of compliments from Mom’s that they love them!

[@MADEEveryday]

Oh that's awesome! Fantastic! :)

[@ElizabethMartinez-ee4hv]

Awesome! Thanks Heather! Have fun with your sewing adventures :) Dana

[@normacmckay-morris3268]

Hello l love your tutorial on your burp cloth’s , very easy and simple. I will be making some for my Granddaughter . Thank you

[@DH-qz2so]

Homemade has come a long way. There are so many great products out there now to use to make gifts, and tons of videos of 'how to's'...tips and tricks etc.....The key is to use good quality products, make gifts people can actually use, and take your time making it.

[@haeldonor-alvarez4696]

Hi Dana! I love your tutorials! I hope you can also do a tutorial on hooded receiving blankets :) thanks so much

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks Hael! That's a fun idea - I'll keep it in mind. 😊

[@BerlyK29]

I made your crib sheet a couple weeks ago and made these burp cloths tonight. Your videos are easy and shockingly even I can make them. Can’t wait to see more 😉

[@MADEEveryday]

That's great to hear, Kimberly! I'm glad the tutorials are helpful. ❤️

[@marjoriemcintyre6945]

Saw Billy in concert last year. He was wonderful, still rocking it out. Best concert I've ever been to.

[@militantmama2649]

Great class! So jazzed to start this project! Do you recommend washing fabrics first? Maybe, first do a quick stitch around the chenille to prevent fraying first. I’m worried about the cotton and chenille shrinking differently .

[@shirleycarver7308]

Dana, I like your videos. They are easy to follow & not complicated.

[@MADEEveryday]

Thank you Shirley! Have fun sewing. ❤️

[@sammirenee5309]

okay, i just found your channel today. i knew nothin about sewing but i want to sew. i’m starting my own shop and i’ll be making baby products. i only watched 2 of your videos and i already think i’m a pro at sewing. i’m now on a 4th one. thank you💛💛💛

[@cutechickiewaffles7476]

Yes! The Chenille is everything for burp cloths!

[@sewfab7805]

Lauren Poling Is Chenille easier to work with than terry cloth? Thx.

[@lydiaevans7019]

Your videos are always the best! I look forward to watching them so much. Thanks for another easy and cute tutorial!

[@baisleytabatha]

Dana I made these this evening! I feel like I can’t cut a straight line to save my life, but they turned out good, considering I don’t ever get to sew and I don’t know a lot about sewing. I like doing it, after I get passed all the cutting. 😂 I love your tutorials. Their great, thank you! Oh and I also used terry fabric because that’s all we have in our town unless I order online or drive 1.5 hours to Reno. I’m going to try using the chenille next go around.

[@songtangchen4438]

I love your orange(fruit）fabric.

[@margarethanson50]

gonna make for my neice baby shower coming up next months. thank for share.. Happy Sewing. :)

[@bcsingnteach1630]

Great! This will be my return to sewing project for my first newborn granddaughter : ) Should I launder the fabric first to prevent shrinkage?

[@stampbee913]

I'd love to know this too, if one needs to wash both fabrics before sewing?

[@lisareed5669]

Ditto! Same here!!!!

[@SL-gz3dy]

I always wash fabric before using, not everything shrinks, but you never really know. It would be a shame if you put hours into making something pretty and it comes out of the washer shrunken and deformed.

[@sj6919]

Yes and also wash the chenille or terry. You wouldn’t want one fabric to shrink and not the other.

[@catcar8212]

Wow Dana!!! You have over 500k viewers. That’s awesome. I love your videos and have for years, like I’ve watched your kids grow. I love your clarity and ease with the camera running. I’m glad you are doing so well. Hi from Connecticut ;)

[@charmingd.6725]

Hey! This video is awesome! Just love your tutorials! Did you wash the fabric before sewing? The channel?

[@MADEEveryday]

Hi there, thanks so much :) Typically I pre-wash fabrics so they shrink before I sew them into something...but in this instance, I don't like to do that, because I like how the two layers of the burp cloth look when they "shrink up" together the first time....kind of like making a quilt. :) Hope that helps! Dana

[@YenieD13]

[@rosschandler8035]

Hi Dana, love your videos. I'm still pretty new to sewing. I was wondering can you sew with knit and terry chenille. I have a lot of knit fabric and I just order chenille. Also, do I need to prewash these fabrics first. Thank you for your time. Pam

[@MADEEveryday]

Hi Pam, Yes, you can use knits or terry chenille for the backing, or terry cloth! Just keep in mind that knit fabrics have a tendency to stretch, so you'll want to be very careful not to stretch the fabric as you sew. If you've never sewn with knits before I have a great video you might watch first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqsanR9bNWCiMU As for pre-washing.....Typically I pre-wash fabrics so they shrink before I sew them into something. BUT in this instance, I don't like to do that, because I like how the two layers of the burp cloth look when they "shrink up" together the first time....kind of like making a quilt. :) Hope that helps!

Would soft flannel be good for these burp cloths, vs quilting cotton?
