Easy Kid's Apron

My friend let me borrow an apron she got at a church activity. It is so cute and really easy to make. You just need one long dish towel and some ribbon. Then you just need to sew two straight lines, as you can see in the last picture. I would recommend measuring how much ribbon you want for the part that goes around the child's head, then sewing the ribbon down because it kept sliding out.

Taggies burp cloth

My cousin Tiffany made this cute little burp cloth for my son. It's an awesome idea if you want to make a taggie type thing for a baby. It doesn't even necessarily have to be a burp cloth. My son loves to just play with the little ribbons (or tags) coming out from the sides. Hope if gives you all some good ideas1

Homemade Fanny Pack

Here is the really cute fanny pack my mom made for my little guy. She kept making little purses and girly things for my daughter, and tried to think of something she could make that was boyish, and she came up with the Mickey Mouse fanny pack.

the back

First she sewed a long rectangle shape, then folded it up to create the fanny pack and sewed the sides. She made a little pocket thing for the strap to go through and then sewed the straps on, but you could make it without the little pocket, just sew the straps on before you fold it together. Then sew on little pieces of velcro to hold the straps onto your child.

Burlap Purse

I think this is SO cute. My mom made it for my daughter. Then added some ribbon, rickrack, and buttons (don't forget the handle). Really simple to make, and since there is a BIG burlap craze going on now, you could probably make this purse with some leftovers.

Fabric Baby Blocks

So I got this idea from Ashley at Make it and Love it, which is awesome. I am a very beginning sewer, like I mean my mom gave me her old sewing machine and I had to write down instructions on how to thread the needle and the bobbin so I could do it by myself. Anyway, I made these for my baby boy for Christmas, and they were pretty easy to do. I tried doing a plush fabric (with the pokey out dots) and that one was very hard to do but an experienced sewer could do it. Anyway, here is my work and here is the tutorial from 'Make it and Love it'.

*After I stuffed the blocks, but before I did the final sew up, I put little bells in. I got a pack of 9 bells at the dollar store. You could also put crinkly paper, or rattles or anything else that would make a cool sound.
