Sew Easy Gifts for Baby -#3 Shoulder Burp Cloths

5/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Burp cloths are a necessity when the baby is on the scene! I know years ago we used towels, flannels diapers, old rags and anything we can get our hands on to burp baby.   As they say "necessity was the mother of invention".  OMG I think I just aged myself but be assured I am one active, happening Grammie!!

 Why not use beautiful fabric now?   As most sewists' and quilters know, there is so much beautiful cotton fabric out there.  Also, if you are giving someone a baby gift, why not make it pretty with gorgeous fabric and make it so it suits it's purpose? These shoulder burp cloths do just that as they have a cut out contour designed for the shoulder so that it sits nicely while holding baby.  My oldest daughter Katie and new mommy to Eli is the model for my shoulder burp cloths  below:
