Handmade Baby Clothes

I found a new blog! Handmade Baby Clothes. It's so cool!

I've briefly browsed it and found some neat things already!
The cuff skirt.

Yes, it's made out of the cuff of a men's dress shirt! So cute!

And then a whole round up of easy things to do to onesies. So easy and fun to dress them up a bit!

Child Apron

I'm excited for this one! There are so many apron tutorials out there, but I like this one best. Reversible, velcro, elastic neck, easy.
YES!

Drawstring Backpacks

I reeeeaaalllly want to make Jay one of these! And soon! Jay is so into carrying things around with him right now and feeling like an independent big boy. So here are some tutorials

This one from Mama Urchin

And these from Noodlehead

And this from Momtastic and my sister-in-law Julie

*******Added later*******
I made one!

And I was so excited about it, and really wanted to finish it before we went on a family outing last saturday, that I didnt stop to work out the kinks on my often frustrating machine.
Hence the bad stitching on the J...

Oh well. That's how I work: just get it done; I'm not one for perfection.
I will do better next time, cuz I know there will be a next time!
Thanks for the idea and tutorial Julie!

Baby Mary Jan Moccasins

These are adorable but I really just love the flower on them. Gotta figure out how to do it; it can't be that hard!
