They begin with ordinary pre-folded cloth diapers, which come in packs of a dozen. You embellish by stitching on a wide strip of flannel. Just be sure to pre-wash everything in hot water before you begin, because both diaper and flannel will shrink a bit. Barb's tutorial is great and very complete, so I won't repeat it here - check it out for everything you need.
I was using flannel left over from making some baby blankets, and my center strips were narrower than the Barb's -- but they will still be totally functional and easy to toss over the shoulder while awaiting baby's resounding performance. It just seems nice to be able to dress up the moment with a cheery little flannel print! Thanks, Barb, for a really great idea.

It could happen you know..in my spare time!
Oh my sweet goodness, Anne. Aren't they just the sweetest thing to make for a baby gift? Thank you so much for referencing back to my post, but oh my word, yours are so sweet, you didn't need me at all!
I love them. I just love it when I post something like this and someone like you comes along to tell me she tried it and loved it.
xoxoxo
These are so cute! I just saw some up close at a baby shower recently. The lady that made them used cotton quilt fabric, probably from a coordinated set of fat quarters. What a great idea!
Those are so cute. I saw that tutorial last week--such a great idea.
Thanks for visiting my place. I'd love to have you join me for Show-and-Tell Tuesday. I'm usually just hanging out there by myself. It would be fun to have company!
How cute! Thanks for sharing.
Very cute idea!
Cute burp cloths! I am in the middle of making some too and I love how easy they are. I wish i knew more people who were having babies!
Aren't these just darling? My baby granddaughter got some (not quite as fancy) last summer and they've been used and used (and washed and washed) and so so wonderful. It's a perfect little gift for baby!!

I love these! I won some last year at a MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) drawing. Although I didn't have a baby at the time, I had to accept them b/c they were so cute.
Those burp clothes are very, very cute! I am going to put them on my to do list (along with a lot of other stuff).
