If you've had a baby in the last 3 or 4 years you have gotten my standard gift! Burp Cloths. I enjoy making them and they are a much needed item for little mommies. They are made from a prefolded Birdseye 3-ply cloth diaper that I embellished with pom pom's or lace and matching ribbon on top. I also iron an applique' to some of them. I've also had a few monogrammed with the new babies initials. These two sets of boy burp cloths are for Juanita Richardson. She's having a little boy in a few weeks and I'm going to a baby shower for her tonight.
Here is a sample of a couple of girl burp cloths.
None of you have seen this design except for Jennifer. I made this one for her friend in Arkansas. It's just a bunch of 4 inch pieces of ribbon bent in half and sewed along the edge and then the top ribbon covers the raw edges. I really love this one. It was so bright and pretty, just right for a new baby girl. It's the only one like this that I have made. They are not hard to make and you can whip up a few in no time. If you are crafty and sew you can do this. Try it and let me know how you did. Let me know when you are expecting a little one and I'll make you some too.

I LOVE the new one. You outdo yourself everytime with these burpcloths. I guess I should run out and get something. I was going to try to make her something, but that's life.
yeah i love the new one it's my favorite....my friend's shower is this afternoon so I will have to get back to you and tell you how she liked them!!!
Love the new one too...I loved the burpcloths you sent me.
They are so cute. I slopped up many a spit up with them (among other creative messes infants can produce). That is hilarious about the tractor store and even funnier that Reagen eats the cat food. When I went home to visit I had to hold Gracie down and scoop out dog food many a time. She likes to bite when you do that so sometimes I just let her eat it. I can only prevent so much yucky stuff consumption without injury to myself.
Cool!
Soooooo cute, Gigi! I took your idea and mom and I made some for a woman in our branch who had a little girl. We did the wide grosgrain ribbon, then made a bow with a big brightly colored button in the middle. They turned out cute. I didn't get any when Kacey was born so I think that must have been before you were making them. I will let you know if I ever have another baby!
That story about Sue made me laugh so hard. Leave it to Sue to take matters into her own hands! Hilarious!
I would just like to say the Noah turned 4 today I I didn't recieve the burp cloths as a gift. I think I just missed it by a few months. However, whenever I see them I always think Oh those are so cute. Then I think hey I didn't get those from Gigi.
So, I think because of this Gigi you should invite me over for a private craft lesson on how to make baby socks, baby burp cloths, and baby sheets. LOL
love ya
I use the burp clothes you made me all the time!! Oh wait.....I didn't get any either!!!! LOL I still love you!
They are WAY CUTE!!!!
they were a big hit at the shower...might have some more orders when a couple of my other friends finally have babies...everyone loved them thanks!!
Hi Gigi,
the burpcloths look great. Oh by the way I'm friends with your Sandy and Sheri and my daughter Deborah is Amelia best friend. Anyway, do you sell the burpcloths?
If so, I have a lady at my church expecting a girl, and I thought the burpcloths would make a wonderful gift.
Let me know or let Sandy know
Lisa
you really do have a great talent!
