Sewing & knitting for baby

Not much time left... just finishing up a few little baby items... A changing pad to coordinate with  the diaper bag I made - Thermal knit blankets with binding- Lovey- A few more embellished burp cloths- Teething doll Baby chalice blanket ( pattern )- Sweet little knit hats (patterns  here  &  here  )- And a little pair of no scratch mittens ( pattern )- If the baby doesn't come soon, I'm sure I'll find another baby project (or two) to pass the time.

Playing catch up - Cabrio Tote Sew-Along

I've spent so much time knitting lately that my sewing projects have been gathering dust.  So... yesterday I spent some much needed time at my cutting table & sewing machine.  I finished up 3 gift sets for my midwife and her assistants.  Now I'm working on finishing the Cabrio Tote Sew-Along . Finish outer shell and make pockets (Steps 7-8) Magnet Clasp and Finish Lining (Steps 9-10)   This piece looks better in real life - I forgot to straighten out the fabric & pocket before I took the photo.   ...and done! Finish the Tote (Steps 12-14)- - - - - - - - March 2- 8  

Gift sets

I have created 3 gift sets like this one, but all in different fabrics.  They are for my midwife & her assistants as a "thank you" for everything they've done/will be doing for me.  I know I won't have much sewing time after the baby is born so I'm glad to have them finished now. Lined tote bag, notepad holder, scrappy bookmark,  key fob , pocket tissue holder ,  zippy wallet (I used tutorials for some of the accessories - if so, I have linked to them in case you are interested in making them for yourself or as gifts!  )
