So this week I skipped pin it and do it Friday because my sister just came for a visit and we have been a little busy busy busy. But, I have been working on stuff an here is what I have to share....
I finally got my act together and moved all of my crafty things out of Cindy's room. It should have been a no brainer that I couldn't work while she was napping. Since then, I have actually started one of them being her onsie quilt.
Most of the items I have saved are her really nice outfits and my favorites of her dresses [and all of the shoes of course]. I gave away most of her onesies but did keep some with the thought that one day I would make her a baby quilt with her baby clothes. It's always been a dream of mine.

Here are some of the baby clothes quilts that have inspired me. I absolutely love this one from Wee Wonderfuls I will probably use this pattern for the big one in the future. [I love the white but I don't want to use it because it would get so dirty]:
I also love this one from Why Diss and this design is probably what I am going to attempt because this is my very first quilt.
This one is from Lucy Locket:
Because we might have another little girl in the future, I am not yet ready to chop up those dresses or cute outfits just yet so I decided I am only going to make a baby sized onesie quilt first [for pracitice] and later on in the future I will make a big twin sized one for her. I figure when she gets older she will have one for her and her little baby doll. Going through the onsies and dresses already brings back so many memories! I finished cutting and have started sewing. WISH ME LUCK! I hope it turns out okay...
want to have a quilt made from baby clothes but you don't know how to sew? Be sure to check out etsy for a seamstress who can make it happen for you!
I was just talking to my MIL about making a quilt...regret not starting with the first born...could've been put to good use!
ReplyDeleteGood luck
such a cute idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, the coverlet is just so bracing to the sight! Look at Cindy… she seemed to be so happy to introduce her quilt. Hihi! I have done this idea once – revamping old children’s garments. It’s not a quilt though; it’s a pillow cover and a bandana. :]
ReplyDeleteExcellent website you have here, so much cool information!..
