Today I thought I’d share a round up of some of my favorite things to give as baby shower gifts. I love babies and baby showers and I love making something special and personalized for my friends when they have new babies.
Burp Cloth Bouquet |
A burp cloth bouquet is a useful gift as well as a decoration. And a new mom can never have too many burp cloths.
Baby Beanie with Interchangeable Flowers |
Want to try your hand at crochet? This pattern whips up pretty quickly and can be done by beginners. And you can make a bunch of different flowers to go with it so they can match different outfits.
Fabric Baby Shoes |
Although these fabric shoes are pretty girly, you could easily make sporty boyish ones using the same pattern. Baby shoes are a weakness…there’s something irresistible about them!
Baby Headband with Interchangeable Bows |
I guess I really do love interchangeable things…all the hair bows were so fun to make.
Easy Flannel Blanket |
Self-Bound Flannel Blanket |
Rag Quilt |
Felt Name Book |

I have a sister in law who's an awesome seamstress. She just had a yummy little boy, and she loves to make him shoes. I think she would love to see how you made those cute lil shoes in this post, but all I see when I click on the link is the picture. Do you have a link where she can see a post or instructions or patterns? Thanks!

Bummer… the site that I got the original shoe pattern from must have removed the page. I can't find it anymore! Here is a good replacement pattern:

I have found that the shoes are too fat, so I always skinny them up along the sides. The only thing I did differently from the pattern was adding the ruffle across the front.
Good luck!
