I have plans for some burp cloths today: <a href="http://buttercreamsewingmachine.blogspot.com/2012/03/tutorial-quick-easy-burp-cloths.html" rel="nofollow">http://buttercreamsewingmachine.blogspot.com/2012/03/tutorial-quick-easy-burp-cloths.html</a></p> <p>I wish I hadn't made my husband get rid of old t-shirts before we moved! So many cute upcycled outfits.</p> <p>Does anyone have a pattern for a cute/easy gender neutral going home outfit? Like maybe an infant gown?</p> <p>Or also, those stuffed animals that are popular now that are just kind of two dimensional? They look really old fashioned? Do you know what I'm talking about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-projects-for-baby-or-mom#post-270699 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 07:56:44 +0000 JerricaBenton 270699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute ideas!

I've done quilts for both the girls. Toys. Stuff. I like sewing :)</p> <p>[attach=2238/12/m9ajmh.400x600.043004.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2238/12/m9ajmj.600x400.121601.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-projects-for-baby-or-mom#post-270400 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:20:50 +0000 JerricaBenton 270400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Ooh that sounds like a good project. </p> <p>I was also thinking of doing a jersey knit nursing poncho. That's be super easy without a pattern too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-projects-for-baby-or-mom#post-270361 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:47:52 +0000 cvbee 270361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend just made a nursing cover....and she's not even a sewer! It's an item people will see a lot, so having a unique one is pretty cool. Do a pattern that has the wire thingy in it. She said her pattern called for 'boning' like for corsets, but she just used a dog leash lead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-projects-for-baby-or-mom#post-270358 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 19:36:37 +0000 immabeetoo 270358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I "hacked" a lot of maternity clothes instead of sewing from scratch - I figured it would be cheaper and quicker so I altered stuff to be more maternity friendly.</p> <p>I just sewed an ottoman for the nursery and have a few "softie" patterns similar to the Simplicity one you shared. I plan on making fabric play food but I think I'd rather wing it.. cutting out those small pieces would drive me nuts, I'd rather fiddle with it and draft my own :)</p> <p>Post pictures once you're done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sewing-projects-for-baby-or-mom#post-270326 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:43:36 +0000 JerricaBenton 270326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anybody made anything for baby or maternity? I'm trying to find a few projects to get started on.</p> <p>Here are a few patterns I am thinking about:</p> <p>Maternity wear: <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=6977&#038;SEName=burda-style-dress-tunic" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=6977&#038;SEName=burda-style-dress-tunic</a></p> <p>Baby toy: <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=1568&#038;SEName=crafts" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=1568&#038;SEName=crafts</a></p> <p>Toy (these are not really for a baby but so cute!): <a href="http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=4464&#038;SEName=craft" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplicity.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=4464&#038;SEName=craft</a></p> <p>Anybody have any other fun ideas? </p>
