For Baby

I couldn't resist sewing up some baby goodies for my friend, Marci, who is due any day!

Daughter dear suggested a bapron. A what? New to me, but the tutorial for this baby apron was fun and easy to follow. {here} Love Jess' blog name - Craftiness is not Optional - so true!

Wouldn't you know that the day I started on these burp cloths, Marci posted a similar project. {eek!} Considering I  had already purchased the supplies, I forged a head. Can't have too many, I'm sure. I used this tutorial {here} by Cluck Cluck Sew. I liked how nicely the bound edges finished them off.

And lastly, I made a travel changing pad, based on an Amy Butler pattern in this book. I used this pattern to make a couple for grandbaby a year ago, and they have worked and washed really well. But the book has since gone missing, so I just used one of grandbaby's as a template, and that worked just fine.

All in all I had great fun trying the new tutorials and doing something a little different than my norm. The fabric line, btw, is Backyard Baby by Patty Sloneger for Michael Miller Fabrics. I thought it was really cute without being too babyish. And now that Marci has received the box of goodies, I can show them off and publicly say to Marci, "Wishing you the best!"
