It's been slow and steady on the sewing front. I guess I just haven't felt that 'need' to make like I usually do. But you know what, there are babies arriving in these parts, and if anything gets me sewing -- it's babies!
I saw this pin on pinterest and really thought it would be a super nice idea for a new baby gift filled with goodies. So I messed around and came up with this lovely little divided handled basket. I really like the way it turned out. Filled it with some diapers, lotion, a treat for mom, a sleeper, and a handful of these pre-fold diaper burp cloths that I added some trim to (totally copied Gail on the whole burp cloth idea).
I'm excited to gift this one away!
The zig zag is a Premier Prints home dec weight and the lining is Habitat by Jay McCarrol. Perfect combo for a baby boy!
I really like this! Will you be doing a tutorial for it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet gift! The basket is especially adorable, love that it's divided! :)

ReplyDeleteThat is totally adorable. I would have loved to receive a gift like that as a new mama. What a great idea!

ReplyDeleteJust bought a tote pattern of yours at Pink Chalk Fabrics. Can't wait to get started on it as soon as all my December bee blocks are out of the way.
Omigosh so awesome!! Yes please on the pattern/tutorial for a divided basket! Soooo useful in a kid room and definitely a great gift. You're the bag/basket/tote genius of blogland, I swear. Love Gail's idea for the contrast trim on burp rags too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Love the divided basket too and Gail's trim on the burp rags.
ReplyDeletetutorial please :) my babe is due in february and i see to have forgotten how to sew. all of her things will be store bought and in disorganized piles. it's shameful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! How did you sew in the divider? Like, at what step? That's what has always baffled me about divided projects. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I'd love a tutorial! It's probably really simple, but I can't figure out that divider in my brain spaces. Love the fabric combo too!
ReplyDeleteLovely, and what a practical gift! I would love a tutorial too! :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Such a great gift for baby showers :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I can think of so many uses for it. The fabrics you used are perfect... and I'm trying to figure out just how you made that awesome divider...
ReplyDeleteWould love to win this for a friend who is pregnant!
ReplyDeleteDarling...and yes, I would love to see how you made the divider, too.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE this!!
ReplyDeleteTutu please! I have a shower coming up and would love this for storing my sons train tracks, cars, and everything else!

ReplyDeleteVeronica
So stellar inside and out
ReplyDeleteI just popped by to say how much I love that Habitat print, but OMG!!!!! Jay McCarroll beat me to it!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic gift idea...it's fun, bright, and beautiful but also incredibly useful? Those are all my favorite things!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an awesome gift idea! I would have loved to receive something like this when I was pregnant. It's practical and gorgeous. Would love a tutorial... this would make a great knitting basket.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great gift! Would be super useful right now for me!
ReplyDeleteThe basket is absolutely adorable! Though there will be no more newborns in this house, my daughter would love this for her baby dolls. And a larger basket would do great hiding all the toys in the evening :-)
