My neighbor has a new grandson and I've been invited to her baby shower, which I thought was this week... but no invite yet. hmmm. No matter... I'll catch up with the mommy sometime soon and give her this...
This a baby boppy pillow. I found the pattern online and measured things out so it would fit around my waist easily enough. The mommy's build is about the same as mine. So she can nurse the new baby and not get those shooting pains across her back. YUCK! I remember those all too well! And hunching over to nurse or hold the babies... Hopefully she doesn't already have one, but if she does, she can keep one in the car to take along places.
The plaid fabric was the only stuff in my stash that would be appropriate for a baby boy. I have too much girl stuff apparently... The base of the pillow is denim. I did a french seam to keep it from tearing apart once it's stuffed and has kids sitting on it. Then the plaid is a pillowcase that can be taken off easily to be washed.
Next project that I worked on last weekend was a poncho for my niece, Br
ooke, who is turning 1 year old next week. I had a fleece blanket in my closet that wasn't being used, so I made it from that. I purchased a Sew Baby pattern, traced it onto some butcher paper (so I can use other sizes) and went for it. It turned out SO cute!I have plenty of fabric left from the blanket, so I may make a matching scarf for her mom. They're having a pony riding party, her mom is a horse woman, and Meri is looking forward to finally getting a chance to ride one of their horses! I have something going on on Saturday, so Robb and Meri are going alone. They should have a great time and will most likely grab a pizza from Jerry's Pizza for the drive home.
It's kind of tradition and brings back our college days...

LOVE the poncho!
I LOVE BOPPYS!!! And that poncho is adorable! You should start an Etsy shop. Really!
Never heard of a boopy. I just used pillows, but that was over 20years ago! My baby will be 21 on the 12th>
What a cutie Brooke is. I need a baby fix, all of ours are grown.

What a thoughtful gift that boppy is! And I just love the poncho... what a little sweetheart too :) -Tammy
Oh, that little poncho is just adorable! I think those boppy's are awesome; when my son was learning to sit up, I'd put a baby boppy around him, when he was on the floor, and it helped stabilize him. (He was a big baby with a big head...kind of a top-heavy baby!) :)
great poncho. I can remember way back to my poncho days!
The boppy is a GREAT gift! Your friend will really appreciate it! I have 3, one at home, one in the car and one at my parent's house. Can't have too many boppy's!
