Another Diapers to Go Baby Gift

Here’s yet another version of this go-to-baby-gift pattern.  I’ve reviewed it a number of times, so I won’t bore you with another review, but I did want to share photos of this most recent version.  It is a gift for my daughter’s friend.  She had a little boy several months ago, yes, several moths ago.  Okay, better late than never.  LOL

If the fabric looks familiar, it is because I used leftover’s from this post.

Revised closure

The only thing I changed on the pattern was the closure, which I revised with the version that I made last June.

On my cutting table now is a clothing item for myself.  Stay tuned for pics to come.  What are you starting off sewing this new year?

Crochet Chevron Blanket

~ Pamela Klingensmith ~ 4 Comments

My first review of this chevron crochet afghan was back in March of this year.  I made that one for myself, but this one was a Christmas gift for my daughter.  I must admit that I rather selfishly considered keeping this one, as I am so pleased with the color combination.  But no, I did not keep it lest I wouldn’t have a handmade gift for DD.  I always try to include at least one handmade item in her gifts.

The pattern is a free one from here.  I used a size I crochet hook, and the following Red Heart brand worsted weight yarn colors: 

  • Grey Heather (3 skeins)
  • Lemon (2 skeins)
  • Cherry Red (1 skein)

Now doesn’t that look warm and comfy amidst all that cold snow!?

Quick & Easy Scrappy Christmas Trees

Here’s a great way to use up those Christmas print scraps.  It is a free pattern download from the Baby Lock Web site.  This is such a quick and easy scrappy Christmas tree.  I sewed up two of these in a matter of minutes, and I plan to sew at least eight more this afternoon.  I am using them on Christmas packages such as this:

So there ya’ go.  A very quick last-minute sewing project that adds a great handmade touch to your Christmas presents or even to your tree.  Have fun!
