This pattern is perfect for terry cloth. Just follow the pattern. The most important part of working with terry cloth is finishing the edge properly so it doesn’t fray or unravel.

Absorbent, washable fabrics are best. Terry cloth is wonderful for catching messes and wiping up spills. Flannel is another good choice as it absorbs moisture easily.

The best burp cloths absorb messes, can be washed many times over ans provide adequate coverage on the shoulder to keep the care giver’s clothes tidy. All things that this free sewing pattern provides.

How many burp clothes do you need?

As a mother of four I found that having 7 to 10 burp cloths sufficient. I keep two in the diaper bag and have and others to rotate through. With this amount I find I have enough to keep things tidy without too much laundry.
