Absolutely Adorable!!! 🍼🧸Thanks for a wonderful video and awesome tips!!!🤗 I love the nostalgia of the tag line “Mama/ Momma Knows Best!”, the house phone, your beautiful sweater, the wig stand and floral arrangement. It’s everything I grew up seeing as a child! And I LOOOVE IT!!! Thanks for sharing!😘❤️🥰
I made this burp cloth today. It was so very easy. I had no trouble with the dye bleeding. I did make sure to rinse and hand wash and rinse again real well. It turned out adorable and was so very easy to make. Thank you so much for sharing this idea. :)
I love your Featherweight ! I think it is adorable 💞 I learned on a singer 100 anniversary machine, no bells no whistles! Great Machines!!!!!! Cute burp cloths!!! Love the video 🎞
Thank you so much for your tutorials! I am a total sewing newbie (even though in my 40's) and I'm loving learning so much and being able to make gifts for our grandkids! Thanks for making it seem so simple!
This is a fantastic video and looks so easy. I love the part about dying the diapers. I haven't dyed things since back in the 70's. Thought it was a lost art.
You are delightful to watch. I have watched OH SO MANY tutorials...but you are great. Informative and it shows how much you love/care about your projects.
From 2017 - Thank you so much for this tutorial. I haven't sewn in 20 + years and wasn't that great at it, then! LOL Your explanation and GREAT up-close, in focus photography is so very helpful. I am definitely a new subscriber.
Why did it take me so long to find you? Great idea, and they look so cute! Will be a Great grandma soon, so I'll be busy sewing these. Thank you for sharing.
I loved this because I think what I have are the same as you have in this video. They came from Walmart, 10 to a pack and they are so very thin I didn't know what to do with them until now. Thank you so much!
So cute…. We’ve got lots of great nieces and nephews coming into the family this year and into the next. Will have to give this a go.. And that sewing machine!! 😍😍😍😍
Laura, Use Therm O Web Heat N Bond on the back of the fabric (it has a paper backing, so you can draw on it or trace your image), then cut it out. Following manufacturer's instructions, heat set it to the burp cloth. I like to use a zig zag stitch around the edge of the applique for an nice finished look. Happy Sewing- Ana
You on that cute little featherweight! Was half watching til I heard your machine and had to look. I have 7 bigger vintage machines, but my featherweight is out there somewhere!
I will try these but add a bit of batting for extra absorbency, which I have done before, but I like your instructions and have never dyed anything before
WOW thank you so much for this tutorial it's so cool! I just love how clear is this video the best one I have seen for sewing I just love High Definition videos. I will be making a few of this for sure
Thanks for your easy to follow instruction, Would you please let me know where to get the gauge from? This is what I was looking for in my entire life!
Thanks! First grandchild in June! However, since I have been making bibs, I am fitting in friends and family! Do you ever cut the diaper to make a smaller cloth? I have been putting flannel on back of bibs.
Nice little project, but I would love to know where you got that sewing machine and how old is it? Man, I'd love to have one like that that worked that well.
Your tutorial is great - I think you could buy diaper fabric and just double it when making these or do you think it is cheaper to buy the pre folded diapers. I saw diaper fabric for 2.98 a meter today
Thank You Janelle! You may want to check out my blog project on making flannel receiving blankets. They make great gifts, too!

I would hate to have anything home dyed on something that a baby will be putting his or her face and mouth on... white is fine.. and best for baby... sorry if this bursts anyones bubble.. but the baby is the concern here.. and yes.. it will potentially bleed every time you put it in the wash..
Would never make again. I was so excited to make these burp clothes but even though I dyed the diapers according to directions and used salt to set, I had to wash and dry the diapers 5-6 times to get rid of the extra color. I even purchased the Color Grabber sheets in the dryer sheet section at store to catch any bleeding. I didn't want the dye to get on the other fabric I was using and certainly not on other clothes my daughter would be washing with the burp clothes. The burp clothes may look great and she liked them but I certainly would not try again.
Yes, I have used the pre-folded diapers! All you have to do is dye them and add a cuff on one end of the diaper. Note they will be a littler shorter than the non-folded diapers.
When Creativity Knocks thanks, sounds like the diapers you use may be the better way. I think i would prefer the longer ones. Thanks, i'm going to be Great Grandma for the first time and want to make special things.

Thank u for tutorial, used diapers for burp rags long ago then for kitchen towels, going to make for my great grandson.

Lol. You read my mind! I was picturing a wooden spoon just before you explained why to not use a wooden spoon!

P.S. I will watch more ! From Texas!
Do you have a pattern for the turtle pin cushion in your tutorial? I would love to make one. Great tutorial for the burp cloth.
I have to tell you.. you are great !! Thank you for sharing the the little details that a beginner needs to know ... :o)
So glad I found your channel :) my cousin and I are expecting soon and I'd love to make her some homemade gifts :) THANK YOU!!!
Nice little project, but I would love to know where you got that sewing machine and how old is it? Man, I'd love to have one like that that worked that well.
I LOVE that turtle pin cushion!! did you make it? Can you show us how to do it PLEASE, please, please :)?
Best one I've seen. Thanks.
very nice. I have a question were can i buy the diapers at? My husband n I are going to be grandparents and this would be a great gift
Love these!! Thanks so much for the video
Great video! Thank you. Where can I get the burp rags to make these without paying a fortune?
While embroidering the applique just catch the stitch though the top layer of the fabric.
I really like these! Thanks for sharing i hope a can make these!
Thank you! Good tutorial! I will make it soon.
Love your tutorial! May i ask where is a good place to buy the cloth diapers? Thank you :)
We are expecting our first Great Grandbaby, The burp cloth is a great idea. Thanks
You're welcome keep watching!
Thanks for your tips👍👏
These burp cloths are darling
love your tutorials!
I really enjoyed your video.. Thanks!
Your tutorial is great - I think you could buy diaper fabric and just double it when making these or do you think it is cheaper to buy the pre folded diapers. I saw diaper fabric for 2.98 a meter today
depending on the cost it may be cheaper there are quite a few different types of fabric for diapers. ie birdseye, gauze and the fuzzy fabrics
Thanks for sharing... Great idea
Because I used Terry nappies on my two children in the 80s, I could use them for everything. No need for separate burp clothes
On the heart applique, did the blanket stitch go all the way through to the back of the burp cloth?
Brilliant!!💕
This is a beautiful project thanks
Thanks!
Can you use cotton instead of flannel material?
Cute cute cute!! :)
Great tutorial.
Could u be able to recommend a sewing machine to make these kind of projects. I truly appreciate it ! Nothing to fancy
Thank You Janelle!

How do you stop the rit dye from bleeding?
that into music is totally very pink knits's music. Hahaha
very nice . I am going to do one .
@tialanii never mind I heared you say 30 min... Lol I love your vids
Where can you buy cloth diapers nowadays?
on the flannel you said to wash first .?
if you use fabric not flannel do you wash it first?
Thank you very much! 😎🌸
how do you make the dyed fabric soft? Mine is hard and stiff. Too much for a baby.
After you drop the diapers in the water do you let it boil or turn it off.
judy, keep it boiling and stir constantly for the 15-20 minutes!
how long lengthwise is the atrip
can someone tell me what size diapers are needed for this project?
How long do I leave it in the boiling water?
Does the dye bleed into the wash? I would hate to give something to someone that turns their laundry pink...
I would hate to have anything home dyed on something that a baby will be putting his or her face and mouth on... white is fine.. and best for baby... sorry if this bursts anyones bubble.. but the baby is the concern here.. and yes.. it will potentially bleed every time you put it in the wash..
what's the diaper material? they look like what we call baby nappies
that is what they are
How much water in the pot
where can i get cloth diapers.
Awesome thanks

where do you find the diaper cloth at?
the come in packs of 3 or 4 at walmart, target, etc. Gerbers brand.
Having a hard time in 2021 finding 100% cotton flat fold or otherwise fabric diapers.
nice thanks
I bought a dozen of them on Amazon for $12, so that's only $! each!
do they wash good.?
Ah! I didn't even get through the tutorial... I spotted your pin cushion. Where did you get it? LOL! I love turtles.
Have you ever used the pre-folded diapers to make a burp cloth?
Yes, I have used the pre-folded diapers! All you have to do is dye them and add a cuff on one end of the diaper. Note they will be a littler shorter than the non-folded diapers.
