Baby shower gifts

Mr. Aitch’s niece is expecting a baby boy in July and the baby shower was last Saturday.  I already posted about the quilt I made so here are the rest of the gifts.

Included are one dozen burp cloths that coördinate with the quilt.  Because ALL babies want to be coördinated.  =)

Three pieces of grey and white flannel: stars, diamonds, and buffalo check.

Mixed and matched for variety.

A baby sized dopp bag (box bag) for pacifiers, ointments, cotton swabs, or any other item that needs to be corralled inside a diaper bag made with leftover fabric from the quilt.

And a larger box bag for, well, larger things, also from leftover quilt fabric.

I love those bears!

Both bags together.

Everything goes well together!

My friend commissioned a box bag.  I emailed her some fabric choices and she told me what she liked but to surprise her with the final selection.

So I experimented with a two-tone bag.

Bag-9

Bag-010

Bag-014

I like to coordinate the lining with the outer prints and didn’t want to run to the fabric store (only to be disappointed).

Bag-012

So I printed my own.

Bag-6

With a star rubber stamp and Sharpie “Stained” fabric marker.

Bag-4

Random stars on plain fabric.

Bag-1

I love how it turned out.

The box bags I talked about yesterday will be with hand sanitizer, purse-sized tissue pack, a bottle of water, a package of peanut butter cookies, and Tastykakes.***  If you’ve never had a Tastykake, you’re missing out on some fabulous goodness.  My favorites are the Butterscotch Krimpets and the Cream Filled Buttercream Cup Cakes.

***I did not receive any compensation nor am I a paid spokesperson for TastyKake.  I just wish I was.
