Baby Shower Gifts

A few months ago I had 14 friends who were pregnant so I’ve been busy making baby gifts. A few of these babies have joined the world and I quit keeping count of how many are still or newly pregnant. A few years ago I felt like I was going to weddings every weekend. Now it’s baby showers.

A good friend of mine is having her shower in the next few weeks and I wanted to make her something that I hope that she will find useful. A changing pad and diaper clutch for on the go. She has chosen to not find out the gender so I made this gender neutral.

The changing pad is reversible. Either chocolate or white, whatever she decides. A thin layer of batting in between the two fabrics keeps this soft for baby. The diaper and wipe clutch has no batting as I wanted to keep it light and let it fold easily when not in use. It should easily carry 2 diapers and a travel wipe holder. Or an extra onsie in case a change is needed. This is a perfect gift for those times when a busy mom (or dad) doesn’t want to lug the entire diaper bag around. The diaper and wipe holder is not reversible but I made 1 white on the outside/chocolate on the inside and 1 chocolate on the outside/white on the inside.




 
 





I also made her 5 burp cloths.  I just used leftover fabric and terry cloth that I had on hand.  I figure if you are going on have a burp cloth on your shoulder for 18 hours a day it might as well look good, right?




I had enough fabric left over that I made another set (changing pad and diaper/wipe case). This is the last of the fabric and I probably won’t be making any more (for the shop anyway) so if you like it get it while it’s still here.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/cinnamonsangria

New Items

Hello Friends!

It has been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to blog.  The holidays were a busy time for us with a few trips to New York to visit Mr. Sangria's family.  Then of course the holidays themselves and I had good intentions to restart blogging after the new year but again life happened.  But I'm back.  I've been busy these last few days making these evening clutches.  


As of now the pink, white, and purple are listed on Etsy.  The red and grey will be listed hopefully by tomorrow along with a few other new items.
These retail for $20 each.  They make an excellent evening clutch.  I also use mine everyday to organize my lipstick, keys, mints, smaller items in my larger everyday purse.




More colors to come shortly.  Stay tuned!
