Starting December 13th, it's Giveaway Day at Sew Mama Sew - I'm happy to participate in this year's giveaways. Up for grabs is a car seat cover for the little one in your life and a nursing cover. As you can tell by my posts (for those of you who are dropping by for the first time), I recently gave birth to a baby girl 3 weeks ago. My husband and I opted not to find out the sex of the baby - so I crazily made almost two of everything to be prepared:) You can read about the making of these items in these posts - here and here.. They are very practical and make nice gifts as well!! I use my "girl versions" all of the time!!
I'll draw two winners on Friday, December 17th at noon EST. Don't forget to leave your email/way to get in contact with you! To keep it interesting, I'd love to hear your suggestions/links to your favourite baby patterns - whether knitting or sewing = hats, sweaters, quilts, you name it, I'm interested!! I'm happy to ship internationally.
Thank you for taking the time to drop by my little corner of the world! Hope to see you again (feel free to become a follower) and I'll definitely check out your blogs as well!
so cool. I have so many friends who could use both of those items!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. I have a newphew due in Feb so I'd be happy to take those boyish items off your hands. Thanks for a chance to win. I've been checking out Ashley over at Film in the Fridge for baby sewing inspiration as of late. She's been making some cute stuff.
ReplyDeleteAh, what a great giveaway! I love your blog. Your new baby is so beautiful...my daughter is almost one, and we are looking at double strollers (for the hopefully near future!), so these would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love making quilts for my little one. I'm definitely in the sewing camp, I can't knit at all.

what an awesome giveaway, would be perfect for as a gift for my SIL who is having a boy early next year. I sew and knit, my fav sewing pattern is the Chunky Monkey modern cloth nappy pattern and knitted is the Pebble Vest
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the baby girl! We're expecting a baby boy in Feb - but I'll have to visit your blog more often now. I've got a giveaway on my blog, which includes a couple of my own patterns - feel free to drop by and enter :)
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful, I love those little taggie blankets I see alot of these days
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. Will be back to visit once the Christmas rush is over. Your wee girl looks so cute in her 'pouch' :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the 2D zoo pattern! I've made stuff in the brown/green and then the pink to give as gifts! What a super cute little girl you have congrats! I'll be bookmarking you for sure (I didn't see a place to follow)

ReplyDeleteThank you!
I love the car seat cover! So cute! I haven't sewn any clothes yet, still working up the courage to try something new! I love to make quilts using the disappearing 9 patch though. :)

Wow, your little one is adorable! I love your blog, and love finding fellow quilting neighbours! (I'm in Ontario as well.) most of my sewing comes out of my head, and not from a pattern at all, so I can't help you out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance, I have a few friends that could most certainly use these!
What an amazing giveaway!! I would love to win either of these, as I just happen to be due in 9 weeks. And I'm having a boy! Perfect! :D Thanks for participating!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already, swing by my blog and enter my giveaway! Hope you have a great week and Merry Christmas! Congrats on the birth of your daughter. Precious!
These are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe only suggestion I have (and you may already make these, i don't know) I love those knitted/crocheted baby hats that have the really long pointy end hanging down.
I love you prizes. i like baby booties patterns

Congrats on your baby girl!! I just had a baby boy! Aren't they wonderful! I am using a pink nursing bib, and would love to have a blue one!

Oh I love these! I hope to have a second baby soon, and would love to have both of these. I'm new to the sewing/crafting world, but lately I have been into sewing cute baby bibs of all sizes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I recently made a grocery cart cover for my nephew, and it works great!
ReplyDeleteI love both! I just made a quilt out of Blue Zoo for my toddler and I can't wait to find out if his new sibling (due in June) is a boy as well. My favorite pattern is any of the clothing patterns Dana from MADE uses-love her tutorials. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLauraL444 at yahoo dot com
Nice giveaway - would make a great gift for my sister who is due in February. I love knitting and crocheting all types of baby items. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove it. And congratulations. We just had our second baby girl... such sweetness.
ReplyDeletehave you seen the baby wrap tutorial on the Staker sensations blog? by shannen staker?
ReplyDeleteit's fabulous!
I think this is a GREAT giveaway!
Merry Christmas!
lovely!!! I love sewing bibs, onesies with applique and little funny hats.
ReplyDeletehow exciting! i am pregnant right now with baby #4 and we decided to keep this baby's gender a surprise as well. sadly i don't have any favorite baby patterns, i haven't really gotten into making things for my babies yet (i'm more into quilts at the moment). i have looked at the car seat covers numerous times though - that's definitely one of the things i'd love to try at some point! thanks for the chance to win. i love the pattern you chose for the car seat cover!
ReplyDeletesales4mp at gmail dot com
ooh, my cousin just had her son last week and she would LOVE that car seat cover! I love to make baby quilts for little ones, but I also love the little kimono jackets like in One Yard Wonders...easy to make and so cute on a little one. Thanks for your generosity!
ReplyDeleteWow- I love the fabric you used on both the items!!
ReplyDeleteI have a pattern to make a baby sling, which I love. And, it is so useful!
Congrats on your new baby! We have baby #3 (a boy) due in about 4 weeks. I just got the new Seams to Me and am going to make some stuff for the baby
ReplyDeleteI love making stuff for babies . . . (congrats btw!) . . . I like making little hats and shoes (sewn) . . . blankies are fun . . . and I'm a sucker for a cute stuffie pattern for the special little ones in my life. :)
ReplyDeleteskooksplayground[at]gmail[dot]com
What an awesome prize. I'm due in less than 2 months, and I have a bunch of friends who are pregnant as well. So one of us would love to win these.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful...I have been eyeing them for a while, wanting to make both a car seat cover and nursing cover but just can't find the time. My little one will be coming any day now and there hasn't been much sewing around here!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new girl! thanks for the chance to win.

I am not very good at sewing myself, so I stick to things like burp clothes if I'm making presents for friends. But I think the little baby shoes that people sew are so cute! Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks so much for the chance to win - these are great prizes! I love making baby quilts. And congratulations on your new little one!
ReplyDeletecoleslaw1017 at gmail dot com
Awww. . . congrats on your new baby! I love that you made something for either gender, instead of a gender neutral item. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your little girl! She is too cute :) I'm expecting a little boy in March (my first!) and so far I've just looked at burp cloth tutorials hehehe.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric on the car seat cover. Almost makes me want to have a 3rd kid, almost. Luckily for me I know lots of baby boys so I don't have to make one of my own :)
ReplyDeleteI love quilt patterns!
The winner is going to be one lucky duck. Great handmade giveaway! Mine is at http://lindsaysews.com. lindsay.conner(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the carseat cover and it would be perfect for my baby boy!!!
ReplyDeletecannonsc3@gmail.com
I like the car seat cover you made. I enjoy this website and her tutorials (http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorials.html) Thanks for the chance to win. Happy Holidays. stephspitzer at gmail
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing you, participating in giveaway day with a newborn! Bless you.
ReplyDeleteI love those car seat covers. I also love sewing from Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing for Baby book, especially the bib, the tunic dress, and the toddler pants. I've gotta try out some of the other patterns, too.
I love to knit feather and fan baby hats. (I posted my version for knitting in the round on my blog: http://skemommlenskedaddle.blogspot.com/2010/09/baby-hat.html)
I'm having a boy in April, I could use either one of these items! And you two are saints if you could stand to wait.. I couldn't stand waiting at all with my pregnancies! I HAVE NO PATIENCE!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful little girl... I've got two and while I'm excited to have a boy, I cherish my daughters!
As far as my favorite baby patterns for sewing.. I haven't really come across anything other that completely struck out, although I did go crazy for Anna Maria Horner's book entitled "Handmade Beginnings" it has some cute toy patterns, as well as patterns for Momma pre and post pregnancy and diaper bag patterns. And of course fun patterns for baby!
Another pattern that caught my interest is one from Made By Rae.. it's called "Big Butt Baby Pants" and it's a cute pant pattern catered for Cloth diapered baby butts, however it can be modified for disposable diapered babies.. here's the link http://www.made-by-rae.com/2010/08/big-butt-baby-pants-sewing-pattern.html it's $10, but in my opinion SO worth it having a tried and tested pattern for babies! and it's a gender neutral pattern too.
I love, love, love the car seat cover! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI did not find out the sex with my littlest one, so I had alot of girly things to gift away! I'm not finding out this go round either, and I'm looking forward to the stockpile of items for charity and quick baby shower gifts, lol!
My favorite children's items are any of Susan B. Anderson's patterns and any of the Spud and Chloe line!
~Jessica
Congratulations on the new baby girl. She looks so sweet.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite baby gifts to give are homemade receiving blankets. When my daughter was born, we found all the store bought blankets to be too small to swaddle her in easily, so I made a bunch of bigger ones and we really liked them. Since then I've been giving them away as gifts and everybody likes them. It's easy, I just take two pieces of flannel fabric, one with cute baby prints and the other coordinating solid. I embroider on the solid side, in the corners, with designs that match the prints and the baby's initials (these are so useful if you go to daycare), then sew two sides together with decorative stitches, and viola.
Lovely stuff!
ReplyDeleteI like Made By Rae's Big Butt Baby Pants because they fit cloth nappy bum!!
What a lovely giveaway. My fav baby patterns are Ottobre! I've also heard good things about New Conception layette pattern.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway! I love to knit baby booties - they are quick, cute, and you can never have enough!
ReplyDeleteThe nursing cover is so cute. I found a knitted sweater called the Ms. Darcy cardigan. TRES cute! Check it out at this link: http://blog.craftzine.com/435667576_238637c007.jpg
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to find the pattern, but at least this may be of some inspiration! I knit scarves but that is about it :o) I would love to do more, just haven't been able to learn with wedding planning. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love those car seat tents! very cute.

I just found out that I'm expecting, so these would be so fun to have! Thanks so much for the giveaway & hope I win! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I have two friends that are going to have babies in the coming year. These would be great gifts to go with the quilts I will be making them.
ReplyDeleteHello fellow Canadian! Love Canadian giveaways. I like making bibs (cuz you can never have too many) and just discovered quilting. I get most of my ideas from other blogs. There is one blanket I would love to make over at the Aesthetic Nest with a chenille back. Love it.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance! love the carseat cover. I like to make leg warmers for my little guy.

You make some gorgeous stuff! I'm a beginner sewer, but love making bibs for my little ones and for baby shower gifts!
ReplyDeletegrl_4_God(at)hotmail(dot)com
Lovely ! How great it is to have the surprise at the baby birth... I loved this for my kids !
ReplyDeleteI hope I'll organize to have more time to sew and knit in the coming weeks, I just feel frustrated not to make more things (compared to the number of ideas and supplies I have !)
Congrats on your recent birth! How exciting! Thanks for doing a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy baby is almost five and now I am working on a quilt using her baby clothes. It will be fabulous one day. No pattern (or even a very good plan).
ReplyDeleteThe prizes would be great for some friends who are expecting a little boy.
Oh my, this must be fate! We JUST found out yesterday that we are having a BOY in May. I had a feeling all along that it was a boy, and was a little sad thinking I wouldn't be able to make cute baby stuff (they all seem geared towards girls). Your covers have changed my mind! They are soooo adorable and boyish! You're amazing!!
ReplyDeletewgbarron@gmail.com
What a wonderful giveaway! The nursing cover is gorgeous! I usually just do baby blankets. Right now I'm knitting one for my little guy with cables. Hopefully it will be finished before he goes off to college!
ReplyDeletejamielyn.arndt@gmail.com
We are expecting a new granddaughter so would love anything!
ReplyDeletejmclean at mts dot net

ReplyDeleteMy favorite patterns are by LilBlueBoo
ReplyDeleteWe're so lucky that you made 2 of everything! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am having a little boy in Feb. and would love to win the adorable car seat cover or nursing cover. Your little girl is adorable. Thanks for this opportunity! rlynnh03@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHow cute! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! They look great :) As for new patterns, I made a swaddle blanket for a baby shower recently and they loved it!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so beautiful!! Congratulations. I have a little one on the way--as well as 3 coworkers all expecting within a month of each other! Would love to win your beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful baby girl! For tutorials I think Sew Mama Sew is a wonderful resource. Also at the Purl Bee (http://www.purlbee.com/) you'll find very good tutorials.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance! This would come so handy for two friends who are expecting!

Congratulations on your adorable little girl!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Congrats on your new baby :) I don't have any kids of my own (not for a few years yet) but I have lots of friends who all seem to be having baby boys, so I would love to be able to gift these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! My fav patterns so far are in the book sweet booties. I love that book. I kept checking it out from the library so I finally just went and bought it for my bday.
ReplyDeletethose are amazing - and way to be prepared! i love making dresses for my niece (she's one). the warhol dress from made is a fave and i love oliver + s patterns :) thanks for doing such a cool giveaway!
ReplyDeletestacy dot wamble at gmail dot com
So cute!! We are welcoming a new baby on Friday and it would be wonderful to win this! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'm about 3 weeks away from giving birth to baby #4 of unknown gender. We've never had a surprise before and I'm really getting excited! Unlike you, however, I have not been adventurous enough to make much stuff yet. I do plan on making one blue and one pink coming home outfit, but that will have to wait until after Christmas. I hope the baby does too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your little girl!
Hello. My DD is 6 months old. We could use both. Thanks for the chance to win them! I love the book Handmade Beginnings by Anna Maria Horner!
ReplyDeleteWe have a little baby girl due at the beginning of Feb. So, I've been planning on making some things for her...like a new diaper and wipes clutch or even one of those swaddle blankets.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I definitely want one of those carseat covers for our next one! Congrats on the baby girl!
ReplyDeleteI didn't find out the gender of either of my children before hand, and I loved it being a surprise! I made a patchwork ball for my daughter when she was a baby and she still plays with it two years later. It's great for babies to grab and mouth, and for toddlers to throw in the house. I used this tutorial: http://www.ihanna.nu/download/tutorial_patchwork_balls_by_ihanna.pdf
ReplyDeleteLove these! Congrats on your little one! I'm expecting in February so this would be very timely if I were to win. I'm a knitter and one of my favorite patterns for my new little guy is the Owlie Sleep Sack: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/owlie-sleep-sack
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting in March and not finding out the sex of the baby either. So, if I won, I'd have the boy side taken care of :) I like to sew burp rags, blankets, nursing covers for baby gifts
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern on the car seat cover, and congrats on the baby girl. I don't have a link, but one of my favorite things are those knitted baby hats with the bear ears. ^^
ReplyDeleteembyrfire(at)hotmail(dot)com
Happy baby!!! That's exciting. I love homemadebyjill.blogspot.com She gave me great ideas when I started to make stuff for my cousin's new baby.
ReplyDeleteOh these are perfect! I am expecting a boy in a couple of months.
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway! i am expecting in june. :-)
ReplyDeletei love the books 'vintage baby knits' and 'vintage knits for modern babies.'
thanks for the chance to win!
Lovely giveaway! I'm expecting my 2nd in April - also not finding out the sex. It's so hard tempting though! I really like the Sleeve Saver Bib pattern from SewBaby. Made bunches for my son, though just used old T-shirts serged together into two layers, since bibs get so dirty anyway!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a boy in March. I would love to put both of those to use. heather738(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteThe baby's in my life always get a knit hat and a minky blanket... Love your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have a wee girl and two young boys ... best easy knit pattern for V-neck is by Amber Bertram on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your baby girl. One of my favorite patterns is a Kwik Sew pattern for a jacket, hat and mittens. I made one out of a suede backed fleece.
ReplyDeleteSew cute! Such a lovely idea to keep people's hands off your baby when in public.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Hearts
We are opting for baby #2's sex to be a surprise as well, I already have lots of boy stuff since #1 is a boy but I don't think our baby, if it ends up being a girl, would really mind being covered by such a beautiful car seat cover, even if it is blue!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to make are fabric covered notepads. There's a tutorial for them on my blog! Blessings!
these are great! When it comes to babies and craftiness, I'm a sucker for anything knit with snowflake yarn...
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute that I'd use them for a girl! I love these knit baby booties: http://bit.ly/b0FV9 But you have to read the notes from others on Ravelry to get the instructions right. I used the construction method of these for the above booties: http://bit.ly/i0HTa5 Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI have a nephew on the way, so I am currently obsessed with sewing baby stuff. This would be a nice addition! Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the give away - this would be perfect for a shower gift - I have three friends due in the next month.

Congratulations on your new little one! And thank you for sharing goodies, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain of my favorite link for baby items. It's a tough call. I have some really talented friends who create things, and Etsy is always fun to browse for ideas. For quilts and quilty goodness, Elizabeth Hartman of Oh, Fransson! is typically where I start.
My daughter is five months old and I haven't used a pattern for anything for her yet. i've just eyeballed and tested and patterned things on my own. (Though I do have an Elizabeth Hartman quilt int he works.)
Such a generous giveaway. I am not a crafter but love handmade items!
ReplyDeleteI have so many friends who are pregnant right now. These would make great baby shower gifts!

What a gorgeous and generous giveaway! I have 7 friends due between Jan 30 and Feb 13th, and would love to give them this amazing gift! I don't have a pattern to recommend to you, but I think EVERY baby needs awesome booties, and every little girl needs her own purse.... my SIL makes both at handmadetherapy.etsy.com :)

ReplyDeleteOh, wow - what beautiful items. I am pregnant and also not finding out (for the 2nd time). I learned to sew when my daughter was 1.5, and since then have loved making clothes and play items. I've found great patterns from Prudent Baby and really like the One Yard Wonders bib pattern.

ReplyDeleteLovely work. My favorite baby patterns are for dresses and blankets.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute, I adore the fabrics! They'd make a perfect gift for my friend who's due in January.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite baby pattern are these stay-on baby booties: http://fuzzygalore.biz/pattern/cbbooties.shtml
They're a quick knit, very cute and stay on really well.
Congratulations on your baby,! She's adorable, and those photographs with her in the different knitted items are just precious!
Congrats! Just made cute little fleece hats I think I found on One Pretty thing!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used many baby patterns- prefer to quilt things using my imagination (which has its good days and bad days :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, and congrats on your little one!

Cute baby items! I especially like the car seat cover. This isn't really a pattern, but the most useful thing I ended up making for my baby was larger swaddling blankets, just hemmed large squares of flannel. Congrats on your new little one!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on becoming a mama! My kiddo is now a year and we are starting to wean of BFing, but my best friend is having a baby boy in January and I bet she would appreciate these as prezzies. Thanks for the giveaway!

those are beutiful pricture of your little girl.
ReplyDeleteI just made this quilted diaper bag http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/09/baby-on-go-diaper-bag.html and I was really happy at how it turned out! I just followed directions without figuring out beforehand how things were supposed to fit, and it all worked out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! I'm having a boy in a couple of months and my sister is having a girl next month, so the timing couldn't be more perfect. :)
Thank you for the lovely giveaway. I love this crochet owl hat pattern: http://www.etsy.com/listing/64385082/owl-earflap-hat-crochet-pattern-includes
ReplyDeletei don't have a favorite baby pattern... I love the carseat cover! Congratulations on your new baby girl :) I once upon a time saw that someone made a carseat sized quilt for her baby. It was gorgeous...and made me think about doing the same.

I wish I had an idea about baby patterns. I'm actually entering because one of my best friends is having a baby in March and I think she'd totally love this. Its really gorgeous. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI have been cranking out little shirts from the Ottobre pattern magazine. They are GREAT! A subscription is pricey, but I asked for it for X-mas :).
Gorgeous baby! I just bought Making Children's Clothes by Emma Hardy. Haven't made anything yet, hopefully when the new year comes there will be more time.
ReplyDeleteI saw this blog on SewMama Sew when I was at work. When I got home I couldn't find it. Had to do a search with what I could remember. Luckily I found it again. I guess you took yourself off the list? I've got you bookmarked now and will check back often.

Excellent work! I have recently become more aware of the effort involved in making baby things because I've been crafting for my friend's soon-to-be-born baby (due Friday!). Thanks for the chance at these great items! :)

ReplyDeleteIsn't this cute?

I love the sweet pea pilot cap from sew liberated, but I'm not sure it would look very good on a girl. http://sewliberated.typepad.com/sew_liberated/

i'm 6 months pregnnt of my first baby so this prize would come in very handy. and i never get to keep something for me so it would be a first :)
ReplyDeletei've been searching the net like crazy for baby girl clothing patterns that i like. i prefer them reversible, simple and the type of clothes that grow with your child (you know, like when a dress turns into a tunic).
please take the time to head over to my blog to participate in my giveaway too. i didn't make it to the list and it's something small, but there are so few participatns that you might actually have a chance :)
So cute. My niece is expecting a boy and I would love these
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! And thank you for sharing -- I can't believe you made 2 of everything -- you are productive! :) I am just getting to the point now where several close friends and family are having little ones, so I haven't made a lot of baby items yet. I will say, I have been eyeing Anna Maria Horner's latest book for my library, as I know I will be doing loads of baby sewing soon!
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law is 5 months pregnant and in the same situation - doesn't know if she will have a boy or girl, and so we're making lots of both! We're hoping to have a baby soon too, so we'll just save the extra :) I love that animals print, isn't that an Alexander Henry? Too cute.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to enter my giveaway in return, I'm giving away fabric coasters at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ananemone
Congrats! Thank you for a great giveaway! I really love the Big Butt Baby Pants by made-by-rae.com. They are VERY cute, quick and easy, and I love adding the ruffles to the back of the girls.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the baby girl!

Great giveaway! Impressive you can get it together with a 3 week old! I'm expecting twins in the spring (yikes!) and hope to have some chill time before their arrival to make a few things.
ReplyDeleteI love the burp cloths I made for my baby. very simple, just two pieces of flannel sewn together.
