A doll , a turtle and a ball

In my family, 3 of my sisters and I had babies within 6 months of each other. Three little boys and a girl. I wanted to make baby gifts for them since I am getting a little more confident in the sewing area.


I made this "black apple doll" for my niece using this pattern I found at Martha Stewart. I sewed the eyes and mouth on - since I knew that it would probably get a little wet from a little mouth - and I didn't want the paint to come off. I even sewed in a tag that my husband created for me.


I made these turtles from this pattern I found at Make it and Love it (one of my favorite blogs). My littlest loves his - as it is made out of different textured materials and it makes a great teething toy!



I also made these fun taggy balls (pattern from this site (obsessively stitching)- another favorite!) I've given a few of these away as gifts and the babies seem to love them.




I also made onesies with the baby's first initial on them - but I wasn't able to get them all together to take a picture!
