More Baby Burp Cloths!

Yes I am a quilter, but I also sew!  

Two years ago, I made baby burp cloths for my daughter for her new baby.  She loved them then and still loves them now, as they still use them. They are soft for wiping a little face. They take them in their travel bag for a quick clean up.



I have a blueberry burp cloth on my shoulder in this photo. These were the ones I made 2 years ago.  I love being a Grandmama!

I did not really use baby fabric, but it was what I had in my fabric stash and I loved the fabrics!

Sorry these are not available for sale
I did have vintage looking baby carriage fabric and I made these for my daughter.  I wish I had more of this fabric!

Sorry not available --- I don't have any more of the carriage fabric.

I used quilting cotton on one side and flannel or brushed cotton on the other side. I wrote a tutorial and shared it on Craftsy.com.  It is a PDF Downloadable pattern and it is only $1.00. Click Here for the pattern

It is loaded with tons of photos with easy to follow instructions.  You can make some too!

Recently, I have been making them again for special orders and for gifts.

I just sent these six baby burp cloths out for a special order.

The pink flannel with bicycles have sold also, but I could make more, as I do have more fabric. Just ask me!

When I make them for special orders, I sew a few extra at the same time.  I have these baby burp cloths available for only $5.50 each, plus shipping.


2 X $5.50 = $11.00

SOLD, but I can make more --- Just ask me!

If you are interested in purchasing any of the baby burp cloths that I have available, you can leave a comment here or send me a direct email at Marcia@craftysewing.com

I will update this post as soon as they sell.

You do not have to buy them in twos, I just took photos in groups.

Most of the fabrics are one of a kind and I don't usually have more of the fabric.

I have more Teddy Bears, but no mint green flannel left, but I have blue.  I have more pink and blue bicycles and jump ropes fabric and can be made with flannel in blue, cream, or pink.

Here are a few photos of some fabrics I have available currently for making special orders.






I really enjoy sewing almost as much as I enjoy quilting!

Enjoying May, one day at time...

Another Quilt for My "Grand Baby to Be"!


Choosing the thread colors for the thread painting.










Instead of stitching straight lines, I stitch wiggle lines for the details and the outlining of each applique. Gives them all a nice texture.





I stitched/thread painted on each applique piece.


You can see the stitching on the backside where I stitched/thread painted.






It's a wall hanging for the baby's room, so I made a sleeve for hanging it.



 I pieced the binding with three blue fabrics. That way I am using up the scraps!




I stitched on the binding with an embroidery stitch.








This is the backside, so you can't read it. I stitched across the bottom "Made with Love by Grandma Marcia 2013" with a lavender thread.




I rolled it up, so it is ready to pack in my bag when we go to see the new baby.  I have sent the other three quilts already.

These are the other two quilts I sent for the "Baby to Be". They both have the blue minkee backing fabric.

Click Here for the post about the one on the bottom. I will share about the top one sometime soon.



I ordered the applique blocks pre made from Marsye's Quilt Blocks.  They are already ironed on to the blocks.



 I requested an assortment of different cream backgrounds and light/soft colors to go with my vintage look fabrics.  I love them!
