Any DIY girls out there?

Hi ladies!

Ever since I found out about the little peanut I have been DYING to make everything. I am a DIY girl... any others? I love to sew, craft. etc. but have been hesitant to make much just cause it's early on. So far just made some adorable blankets and bibs, and planning on a mobile as the months go on!

What have you made, what do you want to make, or what are your significant others excited about creating for your little one?

It would be fun to swap patterns and ideas!

XO!

I am a DIY'er as well! I crochet, so I plan to make a lot of cute hats and blankets and whatever else for the little one! I haven't made anything yet, but I am occupied making things for a couple of baby showers and a craft fair, but after that I'm sure I will go crazy! And I already have ideas for the nursery but they are gender specific so I will be waiting for that to do anything in that area.

I made tons my last pregnancy! Sewing was my nesting! I made a car seat canopy (pretty much a blanket with Velcro strips), blankets, burp rags, a banner bunting for the nursery and tons of cloth wipes because we use cloth diapers. I also made a diaper bag that I was pretty proud of. I've found cute patterns on etsy.
Haven't made anything yet this time but will at some point!

I love to DIY. I have a blog where I post all my projects ect (as I get to them, it's in the sig). Not sure what I'll be doing for this one, but I really have a ton of projects on the back burner I feel like I have to get to now that I want to do other things! All I know is if this is a girl I'm gonna go crazy, my other two children are boys!!

The app isn't allowing me to upload a picture but my DH and son love Star Wars so I've knit a baby Yoda hat. It's ADORABLE, but I'm biased

Love DIY! I'm a knitter. Can't wait to find out the sex and knit a baby blanket. I'm sure there will be many projects that's just the one I'm really looking forward to.

I do a TON of crafting for work, so I really want to make something. I'm bored. Maybe I'll learn to crochet? Make 500 blankets?

I love to DIY! Sewing is my strength. Anyone out there who can recommend a good cloth diaper pattern using velcro?

malgal85 · May 2015

@ejkoo Yes! A friend of mine makes them.... I'll try and snag the pattern from her, since thats a project I am totally interested in too!!

malgal85 · May 2015

I am a big seamstress, but not so much crochet and knitting.... which I am DYING to get into!! I'd love to make a blanket. Whenever I start crocheting, it gets seriously wonky

I'll have to youtube tutorial that again! Xo!

I love to crochet and picked up knitting a couple of years ago too. I can't wait to start making bibs and all kinds of things for our little bean

Hello - I'm a first time expectant mommy and I'm definitely a DIYer and want to make everything for baby too! I have made a few quilts in the past but sewing isn't my best - I love making wall decorations and refinishing/building furniture! I have a little etsy shop where I sell some of the stuff I make. I'd love to learn how to knit but don't know that I have the patience to teach myself!

My grandma taught me to knit when I was little and a few years ago I have a hell of a time trying to re-teach myself. As soon as I found this video on YouTube I was like ohhhhhh that's it, super easy -- hope this helps

We love the baby Yoda hat on ravelry! Although I had a pretty epic felting fail the first time I tried to make it.

Ps: I love to DIY with knitting.
I'll probably make a million hats and a stuffed animal for baby #2 like I did for baby #1!

I think I'll skip the baby blanket this time though. Yikes...
