Baby: Cheap and Trendy Burp Cloths

If you have a sewing machine and can at least sew a straight line, you can make your own burp cloths and recieving blankets for a percentage of what you'd pay at the store. Plus, you can follow whatever theme your heart desires!
At Walmart, they are bringing back their vast fabric selection with prices that can't be beat. I bought flannel fabric that followed my cowboy theme for only two dollars a yard! With two yards of flannel I was able to sew 8 burp cloths. With another two yards, I made a recieving blanket.
