Gifts for bambino

A cousin of mine recently had a gorgeous baby boy, and since I have been full of crafting motivation I decided to make her a couple special little things; a diaper clutch, one of my favorite items since it allows you to still carry a cute purse- no bulky diaper bag necessary, a customized onesie with a scrap of fabric cut into a tie shape, and a matching soother clip.

Folded Clutch

The Clutch unfolds into a change pad with storage for diapers and wipes.

Tie Onesie

The Nursery

I tend to take on projects, but pregnancy has encouraged a new lofty level of project drive. First, I found an amazing mobile on Spool sewing  and fell in love- After building it I had some fabric left over and thought... maybe I should take up quilting. I have a cousin who is a quilting ninja and she makes it look easy, so I figured- what the heck. Well... following Martha Stewart's patchwork instructions I went to work.
