Bibs and flannels! I just made a set of three flannels and two bibs from cotton terry towelling, which I bound using homemade bias binding in cotton with a gorgeous pattern of tiny aeroplanes/helicopters/hot air balloons. I then appliqueed a little motif of planes or a rainbow or a chopper, etc, on each piece, and I think it makes the most beautiful baby shower gift for my friend who is due with a little boy. If you've never made bias binding before, it's surprisingly easy, and you can make it in any colour or pattern you can find in cotton, then.
Oh heaps!
I have made so far:
Burp clothes using hand towels for backing
Old jumper patch work blanket
Bibs
Cot valance
Breastfeeding/tummy time pillow
Ribbon/tag blankey
And plan to make: (depends on sex of bubs!)
Pants
Nappy cover
Dresses
Change mat cover?
Larger muslins
embellished onsies?
hats?
