Burp pads?
Hi all
I have the fabric in the wash for most of the baby quilts planned. I head out early Friday for my treat-to-me quilt retreat in Buellton [CA]. There are 4 to do, one for niece's first [girl], one for an officer's first [son], one for friend's first grandson, and one for a co-worker [don't know yet!]. I have decided I will do Yellow Brick Road from now on, since FQ and half yards are plentiful in my stash. Doing Warm wishes for my niece, though. Does anyone use burp pads anymore, or is just a clean diaper used? I thought about making a few, in a kinda doggie-bone shape to fit over the shoulder. Any thoughts on this? Ginger in CA [got some cool law enforcement fabric for the officer's son, pairing up with firetrucks, baseball bats, camoflage, etc.] and told my niece she should be careful she isn't having twins - her mom is a twin |

Burp pads?
I don't think disposable diapers work very well for burp cloths. G So,
yes on flannel burp cloths either shaped or rectangles. -- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/m...host=community "Ginger in CA" wrote in message ...

Burp pads?
I think burp pads are a wonderful idea. Terry cloth is good too. I really
like having one especially when cuddling a new baby. They really don't need whatever's on my shoulder like hairspray, fabric softener or eau d' hushpuppy.

Burp pads?
My burp pad report. This seen in the OC relatives so take it
with a grain of salt. They are a little special you know. LOL A cloth pre-folded diaper is the starting point. Take a maybe 3" or 4" square of cute baby fabric. Cut that in half. Stitch one to each of two opposite corners of the diaper. Now, if you can add a fancy little label you could probably sell them for big bucks. They were pretty cute but I shutter to think what was paid for them. I used to make burp pads in sort of a long hour glass kind of shape. (or doggie bone shape) They got a lot of use. Mostly depends on whether the baby is a spitter or not. I'd rather have a burp pad and not need it than need it and not have it. Have fun on your retreat.

Burp pads?
I still like burp pads. Especially if you have a pukey baby. When I ran
out I would just use a small receiving blanket. But I think every mom should have a few. Joanna Ginger in CA wrote: Hi all I have the fabric in the wash for most of the baby quilts planned.

Burp pads?
Disposable diapers don't work for that......sewing them would be way cool.
I found when I was tending grandbabies I'd just end up using dishtowels, which is probably the closest thing to a cloth diaper in most houses these days...... --pig On 9/7/09 20:53, in article , "Ginger in CA" wrote: Does anyone use burp pads anymore, or is just a clean diaper used?

Burp pads?
Burp pads are the most popular things I make for babies. All leftover
flannel goes into them. I make alot of receiving blankets, two sided, and square, and the leftovers into matching burp pads. You only use burp pads until you quit burping them, but if you make them in a rectangle, they are also useful for other things, like laying under the baby when you are changing him or her on Grandma's bedspread, wiping cloths, etc. My daughter carried some in her diaper bag until she didn't need a diaper bag any more.

I was going to make some with leftovers from the quilts. I thought, one side of fabric, one side of flannel. I like the doggie-bone style too. There are some instructions out on the net (though you probably dont need instructions, they're easy.) IIRC, the main purpose of the burp cloth is to protect mom's shirt. Sherry |

Burp pads?
Doggie-bone shaped is spot on -I saw a similar pattern for one
(included in a set of baby stuff patterns). May have been a Butterick. Classier than a cloth diaper, and probably more effective if made from maybe 2 layers of flannel.

Burp pads?
Thanks all!
I remember a token male in my 12-step support group years ago who made a burp pad for a gal's baby shower. I think i will have leftover flannel from the backings! If they are a rectangle, any comments on the optimum size? Hi Connie in ND - we miss you!! Ginger in CA dang, two days of work this week, Gotta go in!
