This would make a great gift for a new born or bigger baby. Give that baby a great head start in their development!

I have sewn so many diapers in the last 2 days that I even had to change the belt again. The second time in a month!!! I am just burning my machine up!! I am going to take photos of all of the diapers that I have sewn in the next day or two. I really like these. They are so cute. Kitty Cats, Dinosaurs, and more. I love sewing diapers.

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!!

This is a great way to have a keepsake of your baby ! Make this clay and take an impression of your babies handprint and footprint. How cool is that? It is also pretty easy. I am planning on doing this on my sons first birthday next week!

Here is the clay recipe:

1 cup baking soda

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 tablespoon salt

3/4 cup water

In a medium sized saucepan ,mix all of the ingredients and heat on high until it comes to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and continue mixing until it becomes thick and creamy and is hard to stir. Remove from heat. Knead with your hands when cool. Flatten out the clay with a rolling pin and place your babies hand or foot firmly into the clay to make an imprint. Use a toothpick or pencil to write their name and dates ,like birthdate and date of imprint. You can even go as far as decorating this with some pretty glass stones or little toys etc etc. Let this harden for a few days! When you roll out the clay you can even use cookie cutters.

There are some things that you need for when you get ready to potty train your little one. These will make it much easier.

1. Training Pants

2. Underwear

3. Potty Chair

4. Step Stool

5. Easy to reach toilet paper

6. Flushable wipes

7. Small cereal bits for boys to aim at in the toilet.

8. Kid friendly hand soap

9. A potty friend- a stuffed animal that will keep your child company while they are in the bathroom

10. A chart with stickers to keep track of progress

11. small toys or treats to celebrate their potty training
milestones.

I had this extra piece of PUL that I just loved and I decided to make a diaper out of it. I had just enough to make a medium. Isn’t it cute! I used a real soft , but thick , white flannel for the inside layer with a thick soaker layer. PUL is not too hard to sew with. I was kind of scared to make a diaper out of it , I had only made mama pads out of all of my PUL. This worked out awesome though. I love it. Now I am on the hunt for some more PUL to make more.

I love using t-shirts for fitted diapers. It makes them fun. I use sports teams t-shirts and other fun t-shirts.

Have fun making your own. I use extra large t-shirts for making ones that are big enough for my son. He wears extra large.

Here is a recipe to make your own baby wipes.

* 1- roll of good-quality ALL WHITE paper towels, cut in half. (I use Bounty, because they’re sturdy and I can buy them in bulk.)
* 2 cups warm water
* 2 tablespoons baby shampoo
* 1 tablespoon baby oil
* 1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol, (optional)

Mix water, shampoo, oil, and alcohol in a sutable container. Add 1/2 roll of paper towels, cut side down. (Save other half for next time.) Put on lid and let soak until all liquid is absorbed. (About 5- 10 mins.) Turn container upside-down and leave it for about 30 mins, to make sure liquid is completely absorbed. Turn it back over, wait a few minutes, and they’re ready to use!

I like these wipes better than store-bought because they’re cheaper, bigger, last longer, and they’re made of stuff that you already have on hand if you have a baby.
