The double baby shower was last night, so I can post the set that I made for the second mom now. Oh, and I happened to hear that she did read my blog post about the first mom’s set and almost convinced herself not to scroll down and see if hers was posted, too. Hee-hee . . . I’m so glad I kept it a surprise!
This mom uses cloth diapers, so I had a great time sewing diapers and knitting soakers for her. She also sticks to natural fabrics like cotton, hemp and wool because of her children’s allergies.
I recycled two 100% cotton knit receiving blankets into four fitted diapers for her using the free Darling Diapers Newborn Pattern.
And, I knit her two soakers (wool diaper covers). For this first one, I used the free Snapdragon Soaker Pattern and Mosiac Moon’s Coastal Sunset colorway on Cestari.
I knit the second soaker using the Frantic Mama Soaker Pattern which also happens to be available free. (Both soaker patterns are quick and easy to follow and produce really nice results!) The yarn is this one is Purewool in their Omekua colorway.
I think both moms really liked the sets that I created for them. I can’t wait to see their new babies wearing them!
such beautiful stuff, Bonnie! love it. 🙂
What a beautiful gift! The diapers are super cute.
Your diapers are beautiful. I am about to start making some newborn fitteds using the darling diaper pattern too but want there to only be 1 row of snaps. How did you do that with your pattern? Also, did you sew the elastic at each end and then make a casing or just blind sew it all the way down?
