sewing for babies
Babies seem to be popping up all over this year (what joy!). It seems that every week I hear of someone else who is having a baby. :)
Our family circle is adding two – John’s brothers are each having a boy. Emma and Ian are getting their first cousins this Spring! Of course, I have been itching to do some sewing for our new little nephews. :)
One of the things that was on my “Ideas” page was this tutorial for embellished burp cloths on Diary of a Quilter. I (kind of) followed it to make a set for each new nephew:
Each baby is also getting some of Ikea’s wooden child size hangers. I bought some when we were expecting Emma Grace and have loved them ever since! They are really classic feeling – and they never break (a huge plus!). One of the last things I did before we left Cincinnati was to stop by Ikea and buy some for each baby (and their mommies). :)
There are a few days left to enter to win the CSN Stores gift card. If you haven’t yet I highly recommend it!
And you’ll be seeing this (and a ton of other people’s crafty Spring ideas) linked at a few of these blogs (click here) – you might enjoy checking them out!

What a great idea! I love handmade gifts. I think they are so much more special than something bought at the store.
So sweet!

Arent’ babies a good reason to celebrate…and a good reason to sew a sweet welcoming gift? I’m sure the families will love these! (And thanks for the heads up…the next time I go to Ikea, I’m going to snag a few wooden hangers for baby gifts!)
