A few weeks ago a friend of mine told me she wanted to make some of those fabric covered burp cloths, but would love to have them embroidered with her last name. Well, I was headed home for the weekend, and my mom has an embroidery machine, so I had her collect her fabric and give it to me before I left, and I had my mom embroider them for her And while she was embroidering those, I decided to make some for a friend who is due with a baby girl in October, and had my mom embroider those for me too. They turned out great! There are a lot of different tutorials out there for these, but the one I used (and liked the best after checking out a few different ones) is this one. I LOVE how these turned out and can't wait til I have another one of my own to make some for myself :)
*Also when making these I tried to keep there fairly gender neutral since this is her first kid, that way they can be used if she ever has a little boy.
**When buying the fabric diapers to use, I couldn't find the Gerber ones pictured in the tutorial. All of the Gerber ones I found were either really thin or really thick, so we ended up using the Carter brand ones you can buy at Wal-mart.

Spin Around Dress
I saw THIS dress tutorial, and just knew I had to make it for my little girl! I finally got around to sewing it, after cutting it out months ago! I changed it up a little bit, I added a hem on the bottom that matches the sash and I cut it down by about 5 inches. It says the pattern is a 2T, but it ended up being WAY too long for my little girl... who is 2 and usually wears a 2-3T. Anyways, I LOVE the way it turned out and she loves to spin in it! Oh and what is a cute dress with out a matching bow? So I added a little bow to the sash and made a matching one for the hair. I love it and the little girl!
