I made a lot of flannel burp rags. 1 yd flannel split down fold. Serged around 1/2 open flat. The other half was folded in half then I serged around the 3 edges. Grandson threw up half of everything he ate. Went through a lot of these. Daughter requested flannel 4 layer nursing pads. She can wash them and reuse. Doesn't take much flannel and cheaper than disposable.
