Blackrocksrock Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 My daughter made a diaper bag - actually a carry all bag instead of buying one - loads of free patterns if you google diaper bag patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Those fabrics are gorgeous, hope you can get them. What about cot bumpers http://lilmunchkinz10.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/tutorial-how-to-make-cot-bumper.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 What about something that can be used as a keepsake and will not be out grown? My step mum made my boys a stunning fabric book - the pages were all fabric and each one had an animal with different things to do on each page - their were laces, buttons, zips, hooks and eyes, velcro pockets etc, all made from s"Ooops, word censored!"s. I can't get a picture as she has it back with her at the moment as she wants to use it as a template to make another. But if you google fabric books, there are some lovely images for inspiration.

Plum Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 and one of those fleece blankets with twiddle ribbons on the edges some of you made on here a few years ago. Busy Cathy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 How about some neckerchief type bibs? A handmade mobile, a beanbag ( the baby ones are so expensive ), line a moses basket in fabric of your choice. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
