any ideas???

so im surfing the web for things to sew,etc for the baby. i have a few ideas already but is there anything you guys know of i can make at home or in spare time at work?

i have:
blankets, burp cloths, booties,beanies, mobile.... i think thats it??

any of the ones above if you have ideas still let me know! i love making stuff.

how about bibs & crib sheets? and what ever you do DON'T get a crib with drop down sides! they recall those all the time.
and you might as well make enough to leave some at your relatives houses, spares for the car etc. less stuff to haul around each time!

ooo good idea for extras!!! as for the crib...we already bought one and its a 4-in-1. it doesnt drop down but it does transform into rails BUT they are separate parts.

oooooo hats and booties like you said!!!

Then you can sell me your extras!! I would like to place an order of burp clothes and bibs please

awwww too cute! on my days off im gonna make some more. ill take for ya!

also I'm loving these hand covered wipes cases and diaper pouches.

Love It!!!

you might as well think of anything else you would like to do while you have the time - after the baby.... well it will be about 18 years or so before you get "me" time again!

eeeeeee dont remind me!

Are you only making stuff you are knitting ??? Or can you sew like pillowcases for the baby pillow? I made those for my daughter by hand out of all kinds of cute baby fabrics. They are the ones that you put the pillow in the middle half of the case. Instead of the end. So the pillow won't fall out and it's safer for a baby. They worked out great for the baby pillow. And you can go crazy with buying fabrics of all kinds of different ones since the pillow is little and you don't need too much to make just one. So therefore you can have different fabric patterns. That is what I did and my daughter still uses hers.....she loves her baby pillow. Of course we have had to throw hers out throughout the years now...but we still use the baby pillow covers for them.

yes, i sew a lot.

You should make car seat strap covers. The ones at the store are WAY to long for babies but are needed. The straps just go right into the sides of their little faces.

ooo good idea!!! you just made me think of something for when its oilder too! shopping cart covers!

How about a baby quilt? It would be a cherished keepsake especially if friends and relatives were able to contibute a "square".

I love your idea, germany. I'm not a very "crafty" person, but know Laura is, and can do this. What a wonderful suggestion!

Of course, baby clothes should be fun to make.

THANKS WICKED!

GERMANY.... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MAKING LITTLE QUILTS, PROBLEM IS.......ONLY MY MOM AND I ARE CRAFTY IN ALL OF THE FAMILY! HAHAHA

I MADE MY VERY FIRST QUILT WITH MY MOM AND THAT WILL BE THE BABY'S #1 BLANKIE.

What about a cute little hat ....you know for when he comes out of the hospital? Instead of those beige ones they give you at the hospital he can be styling his own that his mother made him!

HE might be a SHE...but here's hoping you are right.

i already am gonna make some beanies and they are sooooo cute!

Wow! You've got talent...all of you. I can't knit or crochet but I know what I like. And I can only sew things like hems, rips, etc.
Flame, those pictures you showed are great...and Laura, when you got a chance, post some .

Thanks Kathleen!! Yeah Laura , !!

welllllll i took one pic and batteries died!!!!! need to get me some batteries then POOF their up.

Laura have you seen or hear of "Baby Legs" They are little leg warmers for babies. They make them for arms too. Sooooo cute!!
