Reversible Carseat Cover Tutorial at Therapeutic Crafting
"My sister is having a little girl in June. So excited because I love all things ruffly. So, I got to work and made her an adorable car seat cover. AND because I am that nice, I did a little tutorial for you. Believe me when I say this is not your normal car seat cover. It has been blinged up and reversible!..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Changing Pad Bag

That changing pad has it all!

Changing Pad Bag Tutorial at Therapeutic Crafting
"I designed this with 2 kids of experience. These are things that would have been helpful for me when I was changing a baby when we were out and about. When you are using a public changing station, all the items you need are handy and hang down right in front of where you stand to change the baby:) PERFECT! The pad is also extra long and wider for the wiggly babies on the go or a toddler. Now you don't have to wonder what your baby is touching in a public area;)..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Baby Changing Pad (Folds Two Ways

What a perfect baby shower gift! Handmade, cute, and practical!

Baby Changing Pad (Folds Two Ways Tutorial at Meremade
"When I first began blogging, this was my first tutorial: a baby changing pad. It has become a staple baby shower gift and, for the new sewer, it's relatively easy. The accomplished sewer can make one of these puppies in less than an hour.

In re-reading my first tutorial, I realized it's not very well written mostly because I didn't really know what I was doing. So, here is a revised, rewritten version of this project, this time, with two folding options..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Diaper Cake

Cute! I love that the centerpiece doubles as a gift for the mom-to-be!

Diaper Cake Tutorial at Piece by Piece
"Have you ever been to a baby shower and seen those adorable diaper cakes on display and wondered how to make one? Well, wonder no more. I’m about to share how to make a diaper cake on a budget. As mentioned I had the opportunity to co-throw a baby shower for a good friend and wanted to make something special to be the center piece for the food table. But as The Husband and I are expecting our own little bundle of joy to arrive in early May I knew this masterful center piece I had in mind need to be created on a small budget. So here is how I did it!..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make Car Seat Strap Covers

Perfect! Those straps *have* to be washable!


Car Seat Strap Covers Tutorial at Taylor Made
"Don't you love an easy project that you can finish in just about an hour? I know I do, especially because I have problems a little trouble finishing projects in a timely fashion. I wanted to recover baby #2's car seat and realized that was going to lead me to my previous problem, an unfinished project. I just don't have enough time so I though I would spruce up his/her car seat straps! Not to mention, the old straps were looking a little rough. Does anyone have the Chicco Car seat? I LOVE it but the strap covers that came on it were sewn-on which made them super hard to wash. I decided to make my own with Velcro so I could wash them easier..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Quick and Easy Bib

She's so right! You've got to have some bibs that are the workhorses!

Quick and Easy Bib Tutorial at runcibledays
"Here is the new-look, super-quick 'perfect' bib. I think I've stumbled on the secret of the ideal bib: it must be slightly faulty. Otherwise, you might not want to cover it in goo on a daily basis. (I have a couple of venetian lace bibs - they are really very beautiful - and they have never been near a pea puree, or even a baby).
So wonkiness in the stitching and glitches in the bias tape are here to be celebrated. This is all about speediness..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Hooded Towel

*sniff* I received one like this before my first baby was born. It got more use than any other towel. My boys are teens now. I still have that holey towel and I still remember the lovely lady that made it for us. Funny how handmade things like this can truly be cherished. Make one for someone today!

Hooded Towel Tutorial at Creative Mommas
"My children love hooded towels and so do I (for them of course)!!
For years I've always wanted to make them, but haven't gotten up the nerve because I've always had people to make them for me :)
Well, this year I decided I wanted to try my hand at them, especially since my children's old ones were becoming really old.
I asked my good friend Lynne to show me how to make them and this is what she taught me..." Read more

No Sew Bib from an Adult T Shirt Tutorial at Therapeutic Crafting
"Here is a simple NO SEW tutorial to turn old t-shirts into a great cloth protector. (my 5 year old still uses this when he has nice cloths on so he HATES when we call it a bib:) All you need are some old adult size t-shirts and scissors..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a No Snap Baby Romper / Sleeper

Cutie angel baby with brilliant mama! So smart!

No Snap Baby Romper / Sleepers Tutorial at Life on Willowdale
"So I'm forbidden from sewing pretty dresses for my son and I've already sewn a bunch of pants and a few sweaters but there is also the one piece sleeper left to sew and it can be infinitely cute and done so many different ways. But I don't want to deal with snaps or make a million button holes. So that's where this new no snap solution comes in. I thought of the idea, I tested it a few times. It works! It's brilliant! And it's not only easier to make than one with snaps it's easier to use!
I put a single zipper on the inside seam of both legs. So you still have to put the sleeper over the big baby head but you don't have to open it up all the way from the neck exposing little bellies during every diaper change like the zipper sleepers I've seen in stores. And the zip does up so much faster than all those fiddly snaps. Therefore I call it brilliant. And it's a great way to use old T-shirt..." Read more

Eeep! A high waisted skirt on a babe!! She made one for her older daughter too - and they're made from button up shirts.

Tutorial - How to Turn a Onesie into a T Shirt

That's one smart momma!

Onesie into a T Shirt Tutorial at Therapeutic Crafting
"I have this problem. My 2 1/2 year old is potty trained (that's not the problem). She insists on picking out her cloths. Fine, I don't care, BUT she LOVES her onesies because they are pink. Although, she will NOT and I mean NOT button up the onesies. Plus, I won't either because then getting her on the toilet fast enough would end up in a big mess.

We have a lot of onesies that she never wears that are really cute. Soooooo...... {enter crafty brain here} I turned her onesies into t-shirts:) Perfect solution. Especially because at Children's Place they have onesies that go all the way to size 5T (who puts a onesie on a 5 year old!?!?!) Needless to say they are always really cheap at the end of the year. So, stock up because I am going to teach you how to turn that onesie in to a t-shirt for your toddler..." Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Baby Kimono Top

Oh, that is so sweet!

Baby Kimono Top Tutorial at Cook Clean Craft
"When searching for an outfit to make for a friend's baby, I came across this very cute baby kimono pattern at the Martha Stewart website. I loved putting kimono-style rompers on my son when he was a bub as you don't have to worry about pulling anything over his head (which was always a challenge). However, there were a few comments complaining that it was difficult to follow the instructions, so I thought I'd put together a detailed photo-tutorial..." Read more
