My best friend from high school just had her first baby! I had to make her a little handmade goodness to celebrate and had the most beautiful fat quarters from
Oh My Crafts to use for them. My little gift set includes a plush burp cloth, first initial onesie, and fabric covered brag book for all the photos sure to be taken of the first grandchild in both of their families.
Check out the
Riley Blake fabric they sent me to work with, I love how they all work so well together! It was so exciting to get the package because
Riley Blake is my favorite fabric designer :)
You can mix and match the smaller packs to get exactly what you need or you get the
Dainty Blossoms Fat Quarter Bundle with all the patterns.
Here is a closer look at each of the items, the burp cloth shows more of the gorgeous colors. This was my favorite print and I was so excited to use lots of it! The reverse side is a thick textured dotted fabric I picked up locally to help make sure the burp cloth would be extra absorbent.
The onesie has an /e/ for their little one's first name, which I especially love since I have a great aunt with the same one. It's the first time I've tried using my machine to stitch on the monogram and let's just say that if effort equals love, then this was made with a lot of love! It's a little wonky but I know Melissa will appreciate it. I tried to give it a random crafty look by going around a couple of times, it kinda worked but you can still see the oops on it. Everything was ironed on nice and good so I had to work with what I had. Normally I hand stitch the monogram and I think I'll go back to that method.
I used an inexpensive 1Up photo album bought on clearance, it was soooo ugly before! To play it safe I used all iron on for the fabric covered brag book. This won't be sent through the wash so it should be fine, I used the heavy duty kind. I'm going to package up everything and send it off with a gift card to the new parents. I hope they love it!
We know of another baby girl coming soon and I also made a burp cloth with the
green floral fabric to have ready for the birth. I paired it cute wipes container, so easy and no sew! The flowers, centers, and leaves are all ironed on.
Thank you to
Oh My Crafts for sending me an awesome selection of their
fabric to create with! I have some more things planned and am excited to share them with you. Look for how I used up some fabric scraps this Wednesday and get ready for another giveaway I'll be hosting for them real soon!
I am linking this project up :) I will add individual links when the baby is asleep, for now see my
parties page for where!
So very pretty! I have got to pin this! Gorgeous fabric choice!
