Sewing Gifts

So, I have been kind of busy sewing. People are having babies, and that means gifts!! WooHoo!

I love these fabrics, and sewing with pretty fabric makes it so much more fun.

I made a couple of burp rags for a lady at church.

I have changed the way I make them & do a open seam, instead of turning them inward. I need to clean up the strays still. Overall, I like the look better. What do you think?

Also, I have added a ribbon ring.

This way you can loop them to the links that all baby's toys seem to have these days.

Next, I made something new... but I can't show it completely, because again, it's a gift!! Instead of telling you what it is, I'm curious to see if anyone can figure it out. Comment with your guess.

I *love* this fabric!! Hopefully the recipient loves it just as much!

This is my first time sewing on a "D" ring. I could have done better, but not bad for a first try.

Sewn in baby washcloth... or pocket, or both?

Folds for easy diaper bag storage.

Next I am making a pouch sling, again as a gift. I'll admit, I'm nervous about this one. So, I have of course waited until the absolute LAST minute... ugh, why do I do this to myself??
