Best Fabric for DIY Burp Cloths

If you are looking to make burp cloth patterns for your own baby or as a DIY baby shower gift, make sure that you use the best fabric types for DIY burp cloths! Burp cloth DIY projects should be made out of fabric that is thick and absorbent as well as durable. Unlike cute baby blankets or adorable little baby clothing pieces, DIY burp cloths are going to get to be used a lot which also means they are going to be in the wash a lot. This means they need to be able to be beat up.
The best fabrics to use for DIY burp cloths are thicker and able to absorb. This means you want to avoid lightweight cottons and anything too thin to allow the spit up to soak through. Generally, flannels are a great choice for this since they are cuddly and absorb while not staying soaked for too long. Extra fuzzy fabrics, like cuddle fabric or fleece, will stay soaked for far too long, making them a poor choice for this. If you are looking to be earth-friendly, consider making burp cloth patterns and DIY burp cloth ideas out of old flannel shirts and towels.

I like the idea that this is such a different idea for a baby gift then a blanket or onsie and it is so creative. What mom does not need burp pads and many of them. This is so easy to make that it is a shame not to make some. I know I will be making quite a few for last minute gifts.Great tutorial that tells about the right fabric to use after being tried by moms themselves. Thanks for the great information.Anyone making any?

This would be a great use of ratty old towels that still have some life in them, just make sure you wash and dry the pretty cotton fabrics before sewing it together with the towel. Nice project for a baby shower. Thanks for sharing.

A thick material is definitely needed for burp cloths. My oldest used to spit up all the time and not just a tiny a mount, either. Absorbency is also a must!

Thanks for the tip!
