Spring is just around the corner and with it comes new growth and new life. For today’s post we went down the Pinterest rabbit hole to find some inspiration on sewing for baby. From clothing, to quilts, to tons of other useful and adorable items, we’ve collected our favourite projects here. If you want more inspiration, be sure to check out our Pinterest board, Oh Baby!
Clothing
If you want to create some cute outfits for baby, we found tons of patterns that inspire our “Awwwwws.” Try the Double Top Knot Hat by Sweet Red Poppy to keep their little heads warm. Or combine a DIY Baby Bodysuit from Spoonflower and some DIY Baby Leggings from Coral + Co. for a matched set! Celebrate baby’s arrival with a Newborn Gown from Stitched Together that can also function as a sleep sack at night. Or make the cutest little Mary Jane Baby Shoes from The Cottage Mama.
Accessories
Let’s face it, babies are a bit messy! Try to keep them clean at mealtimes with this Free Baby Bib Pattern from Heather Handmade. Make changing diapers on the go a snap with the All in One Changing Mat from Made by Marzipan. And make post-bathtime super cuddly with this adorable Hooded Towel Tutorial from More Like Grace. Keep track of those binkies with DIY Pacifier Clips from Viva Veltoro, and get all your baby gear together in this sleek Stroller Friendly Diaper Bag from More Like Home!
Blankets and Quilts
Nothing is better than cuddling a new baby in a blanket or quilt. Make it soft and cuddly with this Minky Blanket from Suzy Quilts. Too many blankets? Turn all those extra receiving blankets into a quilt with this tutorial from from Confessions of a Serial DIYer. Give your baby a variety of textures with this Soft and Snuggly Sensory Baby Quilt from Polka Dot Chair or lots of fun colors with the Wonky Stripes Baby Quilt from Quilts by Emily. Need a few more quick wraps? Check out these Jumbo Reversible Receiving Blankets by Happy Hooligans.
Toys
If none of the above items suit, why not sew baby a fabulous lovey? How cute is the Cuddly Hedgehog Toy from Cheryl Owen? And elephants are always a hit – try the Henry and Helga Plushies from Birch Fabrics. Jumpstart learning and building with these Baby Blocks with Taggies from Making Things is Awesome or these Fabric Baby Rings from Twenty-First Century Lady. Sometimes the simplest pattern is best: we love this sweet Bunny Lovey from Project Nursery.
