I make burp cloths out of two layers of cute flannel, in an hourglass shape. I sew the two layers wrong sides together, sew a line across the "waist" of the hourglass to keep the layers from shifting. Then, I clip the seam allowance every 1/4 to 1/2", and that is all there is. Very cute and absorbent, and the babies love the soft feel of the flannel. Carolyn
