Baby Gifts

Once again I've been playing with my embroidery arm of my sewing machine.  This time I made a couple of baby shower gifts.  One of my many cousins is expecting her first and her shower is at the end of the month.  I wanted to make her a little something.  I found these great gift ideas on DigiStitches.

Baby Wipes holder and Paci Pod
The baby wipe holder holds one of those 40 count "travel" packages of baby wipes.  The Paci Pod seems to hold 2-3 extra pacifiers and can be clipped to the diaper bag or purse for easy access to the extras.

See the travel pack in there?
I only found one lone pacifier in the house from Amelia's baby days but you get the picture.
I hope the Mom to Be will like my gifts.  I bought her a few other little things to add to my gift.  With me not working right now, money is a bit tight.  She better appreciate my thoughtfulness.  LOL!

The projects are REALLY easy to do and the sewing machine does all the work for you.  Even the stippling!  I wish I could just throw a quilt on my machine and have it do all the stippling for me.  Like magic!  So if you have an embroidery arm attachment for your sewing machine and need some quick baby gifts, I highly recommend these.

Sorry my blog has been so quiet the last week or so.  Amelia hasn't been giving me much free time to sew.  We are also gearing up for her birthday party next month and have been gathering supplies to make a favor for all her little guests.  I'll show you what we (I) came up with once we get things together.  I've also been working on getting my Postage Stamp blocks together.  It's high time that came off my list.  I have 10 more to go.  I'm planning on finishing those today.

It's a hot one out there today.  Stay cool wherever you are!
Enjoy your day!
Jen
