Simple Burp Cloth
When I was pregnant, I did what most people do, nest. And for a crafty person, that means making whatever you can think of, sweaters, pants, stuffies, and, of course the staple, burp cloths.
What I didn’t expect was the burp cloth I made becoming my favorite one. It was heavy enough that it didn’t move around on my shoulder, larger coverage than other burp cloths, made from cotton (so it’s ok for sensitive skin), and best of all, machine washable.
This is a super simple burp cloth making it great for gifts or if you are looking for something to complete quickly.
