Girl Newborn
What can I make as a gift for my friends newborn baby girl?

Just something I can make cheaply and fairly easily (no knitting though), and is original?

I’m making a custom teddy bear for a friend’s grand baby, his nursery is yellow and brown, and his theme is the alphabet. so, his bear is yellow and brown, and will have embroidered letters on it. I used a Simplicity pattern for the bear, and went to the fabric store for the material.

His grandmother is making a t-shirt, identifying him as the G-baby, which is what she calls him. She has bought iron on letters for the shirt.

a custom blanket would be fairly easy to make if you sew, you can turn any stuffed animal pattern into a custom one using special fabric, or dressing the animal special.

a sock monkey would be cute, see the patterns for the instructions for the monkey and the clothes.

there are lots of appliques you can purchase, Walmart has them, so do the fabric stores. Pick one, and sew it onto clothes you purchase. If the parents are rockers or bikers, purchase rhinestones and the machine to apply them, or do iron on. Again, Walmart, some fabric stores, and craft stores carry them.

do you do hand work? Most craft stores have already made bibs, all you do is embroider them, usually cross stitch. Choose custom colors.

Make a acrylic tie blanket, they have lots of designs and colors to choose from. Some to suit the season, the baby, or the parents tastes.

check the sewing pattern book for ideas, I’ve seen little baby bonnets that look like monkeys or have bear ears that are just too cute, and easy to sew.

give them a scrapbook kit. go to the store and buy the scrap book, and special baby design printed paper, and some baby glue in designs. Michael’s has a good selection.

e-how, Martha Stewart, and these people are good idea resources for you:www.handmade-adelaide-baby.com

If you are not very crafty, a gift basket might be a good idea. Buy a cute basket, line it with a pretty baby blanket, and fill it with stuff that will definetly get used. Baby washcloths, baby shampoo, a gift certificate to a local store, just go to a store and look and see what is useful and cute to you. go to Michael’s for the shrink wrap or cellophane for the outside, and attach a big bow.
The above website has the cute basket that you twist towels into bottle and animal shapes. Too cute!
