I'm sure that most of you have seen cloth diaper burp rags. I made some for my daughter with the strip of fabric down the center, but for my son I wanted to do it a little different. Here's what I did.
I bought a pack of cloth diapers at Walmart for a few dollars and used Rit Dye to dye the rags the colors I wanted. If your new to dying things Dana has a great and easy tutorial for doing so.
I had a bunch of random fabric scraps so I just appliquéd them on the rags.
Don't you just love that star fabric?
I really liked the trees on this scrap so I just cut it using pinking shears and sewed it right on.
I had this fabric leftover from a project and sewed it all the way down the middle. I LOVE how it looks against the navy blue. Don't you?
I really like how they turned out. It's very satisfying taking something that was originally white and dying it a different color. I didn't dye all of the burp rags and I still have a few solid colors. I think I might just leave those the way they are. What do you think?
These are so cute! Great job! :)

ReplyDeleteI have that fabric with the alligator! I have so many friends with babies that I was thinking of making the burp cloths with the strip of fabric down the center, but this is such a great alternative! I might do this instead! Thanks to the link to the tutorial on dyeing too! It's great and has me wanting to dye all kinds of things now!
