Finally...

Now I can post the final product! I have been waiting just in case the recipient happened to look at my blog. I had so much fun working on this! I posted a few of the items already, but here is the final product.

I really wish I had been more diligent of keeping up with the costs, but I wasn't. So I have no idea how much it cost, but I definitely know that purchasing a gift set like this would be way more than I paid!

I ended up making another diaper case that matched the diaper clutch. I really meant to add a strap on the clutch to put your hand or arm through, but totally forgot until I was completely finished! Maybe next time I will remember. I used two tutorials for the clutch. You can go here and here to get the directions.

I made this tissue holder to match. Here is very simple tutorial. So quick and easy to make!

There is also a burp cloth in there. I don't know why, but I didn't take a picture of just the cloth. It is the pink fabric with big white dots. The reverse side is a dark brown microfiber material. Super cute!

And then there is this blanket! I am totally in love with. It is super soft and I wish I made one for myself!

I had so much fun making these gifts. I hope they come in handy and she likes them! I can't wait to make some more!

Nursing cover

I am still working on my to-do list for my friend's baby shower in two weeks. This is a nursing cover that was super easy to make. I found the tutorial here at Made by the Mama Monster. She did a great job of giving directions and adding photos to go along with it. I can't believe that some places sell these for $40!!! I can't wait to make some more of these.

I added a few extras like the pocket on the bottom. It was very easy and would be great to store a pacey.
I also made a fabric flower to add on the strap.

I think it is super cute! I just hope the mama-to-be will like it!

Baby Stuff

I have been having so much fun making baby stuff! I have some friends who are expecting soon. Luckily, both are having girls so I can use the same fabric for both! I have a HUGE folder in my favorites filled with baby ideas. Now I finally get to try some of them out!

While I was browsing through my favorite store (Hobby Lobby of course!) the other week I realized they have fat quarters! It wasn't a huge selection, but there were several cute fabrics including these:

I had to have them! I think my favorite is the one on the bottom. I was amazed at how much these squares could accomplish. I ended up buying two, but have not even put the scissors on the second one! Here are my creations:

The square blocks were super easy to make and lots of fun! I will say the little blanket tested my nerves a bit. I am a bit OCD about a few things and the squares not lining up exactly was a bit frustrating! But I resisted the urge to tear it apart and try again! There is a tutorial here that's very easy to follow.

I was able to makeover this wipe case out of what was leftover of the green fabric. I am not totally sold on the pink ribbon with green dots, but it will have to do. That was all I could find at Wal-Mart and I was not going to go back to Hobby Lobby for the third time this week! The fabric flower is by far my favorite part of this case. I will post another blog on this!

Then I raided my fabric scrapes for these next projects. I am falling in love with appliqueing! Once you get the hang of it, it becomes pretty quick and easy. I love, love the flower one. I just happened to find a template online that was the same shape as the flower on the fabric. So I had to use it!

And, because Christmas is right around the corner (I can't believe it!) I had to make a Christmas onesie! I think this is so cute! Its hard to see, but at the tip of the stocking is a little red crystal. They are also on the buttons. I don't know how long they will last, but it's cute while it lasts!

I have some more projects to do. I will be posting those soon! Happy Sewing!
