Sewing Project: Baby Sleeper

As one of my "I'm bored, pregnant and without a car" projects a few months ago, I found an idea from the blog, "This Mama Makes Stuff" to make a baby sleeper out of an old long sleeved t-shirt. You can follow her instructions there, but here are the pictures of my favorite one that I made! 

[my modification: gathering the sleeves so they lay neater]

[my modification: making fold over sleeves]

Unfortunately... the combination of making the sleeper not long enough, and having a super long baby has equaled out to Ryan not wearing this, even once. But it's cute, right?! :]

Sewing Project: Baby Blanket

This is a baby blanket I made before Ryan was born, but was unable to show you because... well... it is quite gender specific. :] I had some leftover fabric, so I made a few burp rags... good thing, too, as they are the only ones we have!!

Materials used:

*3 flannel receiving blankets [from the thrift store]
*one of Jake's old sweaters [one of my favorites that he used to wear, but didn't fit him anymore]
*1 pillow case [from the thrift store]

 [folded in half]

 [see how I included the little eagle emblem from Jake's sweater? *grin*]
