Crafty mamas

Is anyone sewing or knitting things for their baby and/or nursery?  Or doing other crafty projects?  I'll be sewing curtains, diaper bags, bibs, blankies and burpies. Also going to make some artwork for the nursery walls. 

I'd love to hear or see what other people are creating!

If anyone is interested in learning how to sew curtains, changing pad covers, seat cushions, etc, Craftsy.com has a nursery sewing class on sale for $9.99! Sew Little: Nursery Design

Here are the free patterns for the blankies and burpies I want to make: Receiving Blanket and Burpies

This is the diaper bag I will be making: Butterick B4560. I made 2 for my sister and it's not too complicated but there are a ton of separate pieces to cut out! I've seen a bunch of free patterns online too...

    I am a newbie at sewing, but I'd like to try to make some things for this LO. I did a lot of DIY for DS's nursery.

    Yes! I've made little sleeping gowns, knitted a few adorable hats and a sweater vest (for next winter) so far.

    I also have all the sweaters I knitted for my first daughter (2 years old) along with all the dresses I sewed and even her bedding was handmade!

    I'm looking to quilt a new blanket for this baby, and possibly make her a mobile of her own!

    I am refinishing an old wooden high chair super excited about this project! I will be sewing all of the crib bedding, curtains, changing pad covers etc.... I am a seamstress for a living so I just can't see spending money on something that I could make myself. And I will probably be doing some artwork and decorations when I finally decide what I want the nursery to look like. I can't wait to know the sex so I can make up my mind and get started:)

    I have NO idea how to sew, but I am very crafty. I haven't started anything yet because I kind of want to wait and see what the sex is before I start. Also, I am still nervous something will go wrong and I will have all these half finished projects around to make me feel worse. I know that is just my PGAL brain talking, but it is honest. I think after the 27th when we have our anatomy scan I might feel better...who knows though, haha. Pregnancy is making me a little crazy.

    Yes, hopefully.
    For DD I made a quilt, altered some curtains and made a bunch of clothing items. I love to sew and design but making the time for it has been challenging.

    Yes and I'm really super excited! I find out Saturday the babies' sexes (please cooperate babies!) and I am so ready to get going. I'd like to do the curtains, crib skirt, bumpers, sheets, etc.

    I made this blanket for my mom for Christmas. I love to crochet.
