Baby Boy Necktie Burp Cloths
For all of you who thought the Sweet Treat Towels from Monday would be the perfect birthday gift for a friend, I have another little project for you that would make the perfect gift for a boy baby shower. These little Necktie Burp Cloths use the same basic appliqué techniques as the towels, so even a beginner can easily do this project.
Start with some quality pre-folded cloth diapers, some fabric of your choice, and some Heat n Bond or other iron-on adhesive.
Next, make a 2-piece pattern of a tie, cutting on a fold to make it symmetrical.
Following the instructions on the package, iron the Heat n Bond to the back of your fabrics and use the pattern to cut out the tie.
Then, peel the backing off the adhesive and iron the tie onto the bottom half of a cloth diaper.
Lastly, just sew a zig-zag stitch around the border of the tie. You may want to use a contrasting thread color to get a nice outline for the tie.
Here’s a little online shopping list for the supplies you’ll need for this project:

How do these look after washing? I know these cloth prefolds bunch up and wrinkle A LOT after washing- does the tie stay straight and nice looking? I'd love to see a picture of how they look after being washed! Thanks!! 🙂

Well, the only ones I've made have been given as gifts, so I don't have any pics of the after. Sorry! You may just want to try them out!?

Andercal, great question. I have been making burp cloths. I used babies r us 12 pkg pre- fold, about $17.00. I pre wash before I make burp cloths. They have been horrible after I wash them. The become shredded and actually look very used not new. I did this so when I sew flannel down the middle they won't shrink later. I am anxious to try this tie version and see if the 6 pkg of babies r us is better made.
