Last week she had a baby shower, and I wanted to give her something special and home-made. So I got my trusty Singer out, yet again (I have always had this strange habit of naming inanimate objects...I am feeling compelled to do the same for my Singer. Please, leave a comment with a name suggestion and I will consider it!)
I gathered my supplies (got some cute trim, a hot glue gun, diaper cloths, and cute, soft flannel fabric)
And labored in love (no pun intended :) for every evening that week, cutting, measuring, pinning, trimming, ironing, hemming, folding, and sewing...
For a finished product that looked like this:
Then I packaged it nicely with some of the cutest little shoes (not that she doesn't already have enough shoes in this size to last an eternity), some of my favorite childrens' books, some little pink socks and mini hangers and wrapped it all up:
I'll admit, I was quite proud of it - definitely the most time and creative energy I've put into a baby gift - so this little miss what's-her-name better appreciate it!...it might be hard though, since it turns out, FOUR other people made her home-made burp cloths!! Ha! Oh well...if this child has reflux, she is well-prepared!

Lydia, those are SO beautiful! I am impressed with anyone who manages to master a sewing machine. I wish I could get the hang of them but so far it's easier to do things by hand. And your sewing machine is very handsome.
Anyway, that looks like best baby gift ever. You're so talented!
You threw some awesome books in there! I grew up on Babar.
Adorable!!
