Itty Bitty Baby Dress and Baby Shoes
I have some friends that are pregnant right now. It always seems to come in waves doesn’t it? Like most women, I love all things baby and I don’t pass up a valid excuse to buy or sew something tiny and adorable. So I’ve spent a decent amount of time scouring the web for ideas and patterns and I have found so many wonderful, FREE patterns and ideas for baby gifts. So here it is, my round-up of …

Why I do what I do ~ Chloe is still at the age where she’s just a sponge for information. Lately she’s been eager to learn words that she thinks are difficult or tricky. She recently learned the meaning for “identical” and uses it constantly – being sure to properly enunciate every syllable. It’s so adorable to hear her saying, “Hey Mom! Those two trees are I-Den-Ti-Cal.” It’s not uncommon for Chloe to interrupt Dave and I in conversation and interject, “I don’t know what ________ means.” Most recently we had to explain what it means to “brace yourself.” You can see the wheels in her head turning as she thinks hard for a way to use her new words. It’s not always the proper use but it’s always cute – “I like red and cardinals are red. That’s identical.”

I am going to give out this gift to my friend who is getting pregnant
I’ve been searching for ideas lately, since I have *four* neices and/or nephews on the way! I am planning on making that dress, and maybe a bonnet to go with it (though not Rae’s bonnet pattern because I don’t want to spend $10 for the pattern!)
I saw these burp cloths and thought they were adorable: http://icandyhandmade.blogspot.com/2011/04/mini-tut-burp-cloths.html
and I am hoping that my brother in law will be able to send me some of his older t-shirts so I can make these for his son: http://thismamamakesstuff.com/2008/08/tutorial-t-shirt-to-newborn-gown/

I love hearing big words from small mouths.
It’s great Chloe is thinking of ways to use the cool new words she’s learning.

I’m amazed just how many free patterns and gifts are available. I looked at a few of the sites referred to an was particularly impressed with the nursing cover which I plan to make when I get some spare time.
Thank you for linking to my nursing cover tutorial!
