Baby Gifts

Theresa had her baby the other day so Grandma Pierina will be leaving town soon to be with her.  My little gifts will be tucked inside her suitcase. 

A receiving blanket

and 2 bibs.

This little blanket has 2 pieces of flannelette

of different sizes, sewn together.

The pattern is found HERE.

 

I also made a little bag for babies

toys and things.

 

Right now the bag contains the blanket

and bibs.

Congratulations to the new parents Theresa and Brad.

 

 

Making Baby Bibs

I started making Baby Bibs and it is not an easy thing to do.  I have made 2 and I think that this may be the end of my bib making.  I did some applique on them but I am not completely happy with the bias binding on them.

Care Bears are so cute !!

With appliqued stars.

I put the bias binding on the front on this one first and then turned

it over to the back and machine sewed it on the back.

Alphabet Letters and Hearts.

I sewed the bias tape onto the back of this one and

then turned it to the front and sewed it onto the front.

I figured that they would be washed many times

so they should be totally machine sewn

and not hand sewn.

I fussy cut the little bee on the blue heart,

the orange fabric was plain so I

thought the little bumble bee

would add a sweet touch.
