Baby Burp Cloths - the tutorial

I don't believe I ever published this here:

I was at a friend's house recently and she had some really cute burp clothes someone had given her. Her cloths were a cloth diaper on one side and a piece of fabric on the other. In the past I have just used pieces of fabric on the end or as accents when making a burp cloth. I thought hers looked great and would be even easier to make! Here is what I did:

I placed a cloth diaper right sides together with a piece of my flannel. I did embroider my fabric first on this one, so I made sure that was centered. I made my pink fabric larger all around because the diaper is such a loose weave it is hard to keep it straight. The extra room gave me room to maneuver a bit.

Top stitch around the edge of the diaper, trying your best to keep the diaper from shifting much.

Leave an opening along one side a few inches wide to pull the burp cloth right side out.

Trim your excess from around the edge leaving a good half an inch outside the opening you left. Pull your burp cloth right side out.

Press your cloth. If you embroidered yours be mindful not to press your threads. Press the extra fabric you left for your opening into the diaper and make sure it is even with the sides of your cloth.

Top stitch around the edges of the diaper. The middle can be thick, so I slowed down on the ends when sewing through there. I chose to stitch in the ditch along the lines on either side of the middle portion of the diaper. My friend had hers stitched across the diaper so it folded in thirds. I think as long as you stitch it to keep it from shifting it is fine.

I made three cloths, one out of each of my three coordinating fabrics. I only embroidered the solid pink one.

 Here is how the baby gifts look all together. So cute!
