Handmade Baby Gift

I'm in the stage of life where I go to showers.  Baby showers. Wedding showers.  Lingerie Showers.  And I love me a good shower.  One of my favorite things about the showers are the gifts.  I like to take something fun and cute, but I also know how important it is for the recipient to get those not-so-cute-but-oh-so-needed necessities.  



For baby showers, I found the perfect combo.  I buy an industrial box of diapers and/or wipes and I make a little somethin' somethin' to go with it.

A changing pad.
A cute burp cloth.
And an embellished onesie.


Julie made me a changing pad (along with some homemade burp clothes) for my shower for Burl.  I loved it.  I used it all the time.  I'm a stay at home mom that doesn't stay at home much, so I'm always changing a diaper on the go.

Then, there is the embellished burp cloth.  It's a cloth diaper with cute fabric on the bottom.  These are everywhere!  One local shop sells them in pairs for over $20.  Ridonculous.  

Then, there's that onesie.  Oh so precious.  



If everything goes right, then I will be posting little tutorials for each.  Or you can just call me and I'll make them for you.

  1. I love this idea, I think it could easily be adapted with Little Ts for birthdays too.
