Baby Makes

Last weekend we heard the exciting news that our daughter Victoria's best friend was expecting her first baby.  She has become a great friend of the family so it was a honour to make some bits and pieces in preparation for the new arrival.  Although not due until the Spring I thought I would make a start and then just got carried away.

Burp clothes and bibs are a must for any new arrival.  The woodland creatures is a fabric that is a long time favourite and can be used for either a girl or boy.

 

They were backed with footprint flannel for a soft feel.

 

 

I then made a tag blankie,  every baby needs something to pull and suck on.

 

 

A fleece blanket was made, using a really soft fleece for warmth and comfort.

 

 

A storage bag was made using some white fabric embellished with the green and finished with a heart shaped hedgehog.  Always a useful addition to any nursery. 

 

 

 

Finally a crochet blanket ready for the pushchair next Autumn embellished with a hedgehog.  A fun make that grew very quickly.

 

 

All ready to be packaged up for when my daughter visits so that she can take them to her.  News of a new baby is always wonderful news, I got a real thrill making the things for a precious new arrival for such a lovely couple.  They will all look a little better once I have put the iron over them but I am in the middle of making Christmas sacks so want to finish them before I set the ironing board up.

 

See you soon.
