“A person's a person, no matter how small.” ― Dr. Seuss

Being a military wife, I see a LOT of expecting Moms on a daily basis. Did that ever trigger anything in my mind? Why, yes! Diaper cakes. I made them as gifts for my my friends, my co-workers and even my husband's soldiers. It wasn't until my craftiness took off in the form of sewing that I realized I could branch out. (That, and the help of Pinterest!) I have started creating other gifts.

Project 1: Gift for my expecting hair stylist.

(Bird and Elephant Onesie)

Project 2: Gift for a new friend and fellow Army spouse.

(Necktie Onesie)

Project 3: Gifts for a best friend from High School. 

(Stroller Blanket)

(Diaper Bag and Changing Mat)

I even had a family member of the recipient order matching burp cloths and a nursing cover!

Project 4: Gifts for a great friend, former co-worker and fellow Army spouse that I have been separated from due to both our PCS moves.

(Stroller Blanket)

(Soft Blocks-Front)

(Soft Blocks-Back)

I truly enjoyed each project and learned the following:

•To appliqué...takes patience, attention to detail and double sided fusible interfacing.

•To add pockets for bottles inside a baby bag...use elastic.

•A decorative flower can look adorable on almost anything and even hide any errors.

•And most important-diaper cakes and homemade gifts are both awesome gifts that take time and love to complete!


Giving credit where credit is due! The diaper bag I made my friend as a gift is adapted from a tutorial I found online at:

Have a wonderful day!
