Hospital Gown

My daughter, Desi, is expecting her baby at the end of October.  Each week this summer we have spent a day sewing in preparation for Jacob's arrival.  Of course he needs to arrive her with his mama dressed in style!  She found a pattern online for a hospital gown - who would have thought?  Anyway, the fabric is so cute and it turned out much more classy than the gowns provided at the hospital - and it was so easy!  The link for the pattern is here.

      SHE is not preggars! - Amy just had to model it.

    Desi IS!

And yep - the back has ties just like the hospital ones do!

Babies!!!

My hubby and I have the privilege of associating with MANY newlyweds in our church.  We all know what newlyweds like to do - YOU know!  So I wanted to make a small gift for each baby, and since they come at a rapid pace, I needed something easy and fast - and not too expensive.  This is what I came up with:

I used my little grandbaby's bib as a pattern and put a piece of chenille on back and flannel on top.  I liked the look of shabbyness around the edges so I just clipped about 1/4" cuts around the bib and washed them a couple of times to get the fray. The closure at the top is velcro with a button sewn on top.  I have done eight so far - only about 42 more to go!
