I make a lot of burp cloths from the remnant bins. I watch for pieces at least 12". Usually the plain colors are heavier and more absorbant so I use that for the back and a cute print for the top. Cut the wof in half and can get 2 cloths if you use two coordinating fabrics. Don't need to cut out anything--just wof so it will hang over the shoulder and arm. Usually when they spit up it ends up on your sleeve so it's good to have the cloth covering that, too! Sew around, turn right side out and top stitch.
Another little gift --covers for the straps on car seats. Cut 2 pieces 6 1/4 x at least 4". Put a bit of batt inside and then velcro on the 4" side so the 6 1/4" part wraps around the strap. This protects the baby's neck from irritation from the straps and also gives a bit of support to a sleepy head. These work well for any age as long as they are in the seats. Might even work with bigger people who complain about seat belts rubbing on their necks!
