Here's a list of my go-to gifts for baby showers, depending on what I feel like making:
- Burp cloths
- An appliqued onesie - like in the onesie pictured above, sometimes I add a little embroidery as well. I embroider the fabric first, then adhere it to the onesie using Wonder-Under, and finish it off with a satin stitch on the sewing machine.
- Embellished infant tee
- Baby booties - I typically use the Stardust Shoes pattern, but I'm experimenting with a few others (to be posted soon)
- A changing pad and wipes clutch
- Baby bibs
- Tag blankets with taggie toys

Love this example! Awaiting a family baby here (not mine) so always looking for new ideas!
I have adapted your burp cloth pattern a bit (because I didn't enjoy the strings in my washer from the fraying process) but burp cloths are a standard baby shower gift that I make now. Thanks for the fabulous inspiration!
I am throwing a shower for my sister this weekend... I already gifted her your burp cloths, onesies, vintage clothes, etc.
Hey, he's the only boy so far!!!
OOoo super cleaver that you embroider the fabric first, then adhere it to the onesie!
Thanks for the ideas! I love the edges of your burp cloth - I always join and turn mine so the edge isn't raw but it looks great like that.
Love those gifts!!! Thanks for sharing!
You know I adore you and your blog. You will not believe this...just cut out 2 pieces of the Riley Blake Wheels to make burpcloths for a friend!! Haven't made bc's in about 2 mos...and today I break out the same fabric! LOVE it! Thx for your inspiration...and for your good taste! ☺
Love the gift ideas. Before I found you blog I adapted some burp cloths I received as a gift into a template, really similar to yours. I made mine out of receiving blankets I got as gifts (like a million of them). I didn't use any batting and I sew them right sides together, then press and top stitch. Love the frayed edge. More girly!
Oh, I've been admiring that Riley Blake print for a while! I love the burp cloth and onsie that you made with it. Homemade baby gifts are the best. I'm sure your friends will love these.
Where did you get the fabric with the cars? I love this!!!
Love your pattern and made some today too for a friend at church who is having a baby shower next week! Thanks for the inspiration.
Really cute! I love this fabric. And it's such an nice idea how you created a set by putting one of the cars on the onesie.
Thanks for sharing this! I love those little Sapling Toys. Good idea for future baby showers - especially for the green / natural moms!
love the teethers-- little sapling is one of my favorite etsy shops too! haven't bought any yet (still got some time)... great stuff!
I love Little Sapling Toys too. In fact they are made by my cousins. And I know they take extra care for every toy!
Really darn cute!
I bought those teethers from the little toy sapling company. Love them. Used two as Christmas gifts and kept one for myself.
Are the booties you have pictured from Stardust? I linked over to their site and the pattern appears to be different. Love them, you are very talented.

Hello Dude,
Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child and both men and women attended. The original intent was for women to share wisdom and lessons on the art of becoming a mother. Over time, it has become common to hold them for subsequent or adopted children. It is not uncommon for a parent to have more than one baby shower, such as one with friends and another with co-workers. Thanks a lot.......
A new born baby is a heavenly gift given to the parents by the god. A baby comes in this world along with heavenly delight and joy for his or her parents, relatives and neighbors. Celebration of the event of the birth of a baby is usually done by gifting the baby and parents. But it is really tough to find a gift that will be perfectly suitable for the baby. Baby Gifts are always useful in these situations.
