Homemade Baby Shower Gifts

[{sarah}]

Zander's godmother is pregnant with her first (due March) and while I realise I have lots of time up my sleeve, I'd like to get some idea of some things to make her for bubby. It gives me heaps of time to make practice versions so she can have the perfect one I just want to give her some things that are totally unique to her & her baby....

So far I'm going to be making her a nappy wallet, photos of my first dodgy one here. I've had to resize the pattern & fiddle with it a bit, but it will eventually be right.

The next thing I'm thinking of is a sling, she has already told me she'd like to buy one & I told her I'd buy it for her. Instead I'd like to make one to suit her perfectly. Bec (Hoobley) has given me some great patterns for this - thanks again Bec.

The other thing so far is a "boutique wipes case" which is basically a normal Huggies hard travel wipes case that has been padded & covered with fabric. I got the pattern & all the bits & pieces today so am planning on doing one this afternoon as a practice. Luckily we have about 6 travel wipes cases here so I can get lots of practice in Photos here and here.

I'm thinking of co-ordinating all of them, so having the same fabrics, or if not the same maybe just ones that look great together.

So does anyone have ideas on what else I can try to make as well? I have a sewing machine & am pretty good on it. I can't knit or do cross stitch, but am great on long stitch! Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
