Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Seems like everyone I know is having a baby these days. Made this set for my cousin: swaddle blanket, travel changing pad, and three burp cloths (Check credits). Now I only have to make 3 more sets…
I used an inch thick elastic for the travel changing pad, but I would definitely use a smaller width elastic for it. The elastic is nice because you can wrap up some extra diapers with the pad and just take it to go! In my photos, I wrapped up the three burp cloths in the changing pad. Honestly, I think it’s a pretty cute set! I guess all baby stuff ends up really cute.
By the way, is pre-wash a MUST? I used cotton flannel for this set and I don’t like how it doesn’t look and feel nice and new anymore. Debating what to do with the remaining 3 sets…
Material Notes
Cotton flannel, diaper cloth for the burp cloths, and terry cloth for the changing pad.

Thanks for the tip! I think I’ll just prewash the dark fabrics that I am pairing with white for the burp cloth
