More baby gifts are made.

Today I had a nice quiet day finishing off some baby gifts.

I used up all the leftover towel to make 4 pairs of nursing pads. I just put flannelette on one side and towelling on the other. These are washable and I'm sure will help the new mum..

I did another 2 receiving blankets in blue, for the boys. It was much easier making them with flannelette rather than Minky.

Then with the left over towelling, minky, flannelette and adding 6" pieces of mixed ribbons I got 4 little TAGGIES..... I'm sure these will be well used by baby...

All I need to do now is knit some little baby jackets then I will have 4 complete sets of gifts. 

My busy day of sewing.....

I had a great day sewing at a sit n sew at Kilmore Quilters on Friday. 10am - 10pm... Including a Pizza tea.
This is how I spent my FNSI.
I started lots of projects.. Then I spent my weekend slow stitching my crazy patchwork item.
Monday I was at my Gisborne group and finished off some of these projects.
Then today at the Kilmore Quilters group I finished off more.....
Here they are...
PROJECT 1
8 x baby Bibs with 50" of bindings on each one.

GO BINDING BLITZ
I bought a lovely towelling bath towel/sheet for $5 and got the 8 bibs out of. I have been making these for years. They are great because the Velcro ones get filled with fluff and the Velcro doesn't stick. With the left over circle I will be making some nursing pads.

PROJECT 2
2 x receiving blankets.

I used Minky for the first time. As cute as it looks I think I will just do flannelette in the future. I think it will lay flatter.
I followed a tutorial from here

PROJECT 3
4 x Teddy Bear Pin Cushions. These are so cute.

I am making some gifts for Xmas and some trade table items. These are so cute and I got the idea from here
