Babies Rock!

What a fun weekend! First the baby shower and then a friend's first birthday! I couldn't resist making our friend a bowtie. I just know he will look so cute in this! I have to thank RufflesNStuff for her amazing tutorials. She is truly inspiring. Here is a link to the bowtie tutorial on her website.

I used the bowtie as the bow on top of the gift. Inside was an applique'd shirt and bib in the same guitar themed fabric I used for my nephew's gift (as seen below).

Soooo, how much fun did I have making this gift for my nephew? TONS! I got this awesome designer fabric on etsy.com- it's called, "Groovy Guitars." Cute, right? And perfect, given that my bro has been playing since we were knee high to a leprechaun (??)

Anyways, once I started making things I couldn't stop! Thanks to all the wonderful tutorials on various websites I was able to come up with some pretty cool stuff.

Here is the complete gift (minus the cute applique shirt that I did last-minute and don't have a pic of!)

Going clockwise and starting in the back you can see the diaper wipes clutch with Velcro diaper strap and diapers, 2 burp cloths, bib, booties, and pacifier clip.

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Awesome diaper clutch tutorial found here.
I added a strap to the top to hold some diapers. I did this because my diapers and wipes are always all over the place in my diaper bag. I thought it would be nice to pull out the clutch and have the diapers right there, too. There is a lot of velcro to hold a little or a lot of diapers.

Pacifier clip



Awesome kimono booties made with a great tutorial found here. What an amazing and easy-to-follow tutorial! So nice of her to give the pattern away for free. Love it!

Once again, here it all is together. I hope they like it...I certainly had fun making it for little Dean.

All this from one yard of fabric. And I have a lot left, too. I am planning on making something for Brandon out of it next... :)
