Crafty - Baby Gifts

Hello my fellow book worms,

I hope you all had a great long weekend. I did my best to get out and enjoy it!

One of my dearest friends and my cousin got married and they had a little baby boy. I was so excited for them, and I couldn't wait to meet the sweet little lad. However, this meant that I could also shower them with gifts that I got to sew! I love to sew, and combined with my love of Pinterest I had SO MANY baby things to make. I went a little bit overboard and made so many gifts. I would like to say that none of these patterns are my own. I merely sewed them. I found the ideas on Pinterest, many of them came with Tutorials and patterns that you can print out. I do not claim these ideas as my own. I am only showing that I made these for the newest baby addition. If you want to make them get on Pinterest and search!

Above are most of the items I made. A football blanket, a swaddle blanket, a wet bag, a nursing cover, a portable change table, and a portable high chair. They made his room nautical themed so I carried that theme through with the presents.

I also made these (above) Diaper wipes container to match his room. And a little carry all bag that holds the small diaper wipes container and diapers. One of my other dearest friends is a graphic designer and she helped me make the personal labels for the projects. They are so cute, and I highly recommend that you make some for yourself. It gives your project a professional feel.

Above is the portable high chair. Not having any children, and the fact that the cat wouldn't cooperate I had to use this teddy bear as a model. I asked my sister in law what the one thing that she wasn't given but found the most helpful and she said this fabric seat. You put the baby in and tie them into the chair when it is time to eat (obviously for when the child is older). This way they don't need a high chair, but can use whatever chair you have. Great at restaurants or a friend's house who doesn't have any little ones. This is what my dear friend asked me to make. I used my sister in laws as a template and made this one.

Hopefully you too have found some inspiration from this post. I have no idea what to sew now.  I can hear my husband groaning from here. Chat to you next week.

Love
Elyse
