I use cloth diapers and add flannel to the one side. Layer the flannel and diaper together, sew around all sides leaving a section open to turn inside out and slip stich the opening. My friends love them. The flannel helps to keep them from slipping off the shoulder.

I like these too.. My daughter in-law recieved a set of these and we used them hard ! The prefolder diaper was thick enough to keep it all on the cloth ! hah!

Beautiful examples here ! Thanks for posting.

I don't make the burp cloths but order them from a friend in SC and she uses diapers and embroiders on top and makes blankets to match and people love them that I have given them to.They are so cute.

Mom's seem to love them as they always request additional burps!

Your stuff is sooo cute and I know a bunch of people, including my BFF, that are pregnant. Can you share what you mean by pillow case style?

thanks

I use flannel on each side - so it can be used more than once if need be - and also used a very thin batting - made it a bit more absorbent; my neice loved those with the batting moreso than just two layers of flannel... and I also did a little "quilting" to make it stay in place plus it gave it a bit of stability when put over your shoulder.
