Baby Gift Sets |
…The change pad can double as a car seat blanket, lovey, or nursing cover-up. The end result is always well received as a baby gift!” This set includes a changing pad, bib, burp cloths and cloth wipes. Sarah sells these sets in her smallish things designs shop.

I deeply covet that fabulous green and black paisley fabric!
And now that all my friends are preggo I need all of these ideas. Thank you!
cute idea, my new nephew is due to be born in June and I will definately be making some of these before then.
Cute set…love the paisley!
A great idea with the minky lining…and I have plenty of babies coming to sew for. Thanks!
I just wanted to say I enjoy reading your Blog and all the interesting ideas, tips & links.
Keep up the good work

Love all the baby stuff! Thanks for the tutorials!
I love this idea. The fabrics look gorgeous.
The nice thing about using fat quarters for baby gift sets is you can get prints the mother to be likes that might not be too your taste. Around here there have been quite a few looking for skull fabric items for their babies!
I love making baby items! The fabrics are so fun and vibrant, ray of sunshine, just like our little ones are!
These are great! I’m going to make some for the next baby shower I attend!
Cute!
Thanks for all of the great ideas!
These are adorable, I love all these ideas!
Oh those are beautiful! I want to make some too!!
I love those fabric choices in this project. So pretty!
=^..^=
Baby things make me happy!
Great baby gift ideas – these are needed as there are 4 friends expecting in the next month!
So cute!
I love the use of these bright colors! Especially since babies seem drawn to primary colors first. Too much pastel makes me crazy!
Oh Love this idea!
And i’m LOVING FQ month! Although i’ve been doing more planning and searching through all the links then actually sewing things! I did search my stash and set a side certain FQ’s for projects though! So many fat quarters and so many things to make!
That brown and green combination is lovely, and the items look SO soft! I once saw display for a baby crib that was brown and green and I really loved it!
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

This is great – and I love that fabric! Beautiful.
Lots of cute ideas!
I love fat quarters for making a cot quilt as well. A beautiful FQ witrh toning/matching BIG border makes a sweet quilt and again a great way to showcase something lovely.
I am just BURSTING to make some baby stuff!! love to see other peopel are doing it as well
That baby set is ridiculously cute!
I just want to say–I love that top fabric! I’m so glad paisley is coming back in–it’s so fun and yet elegant too.
These are so pretty!
this is so sweet. i love making baby gifts. they are such a fulfilling project, and always well-received.
i am in the throws of a “baby boom” among friends, and have been sewing lots!
there are some on my flickr

Great tutorials! I’ve made most of these things and it’s good to see different methods. Thanks!
How inspiring – certainly a better alternative to the selection found in retail baby stores.
pretty fabric
Thanks so much! I am going to try one of these tutorials out tonight!
Great ideas! I have a little one on the way, and I can’t wait till the morning sickness subsides and I have energy to sew again!
I love this idea! Our Sunday School is booming with babies right now.
So cute! Everyone around me is having babies right now so this is really helpful!
Great project!
I love your site ! Thanks for all the great posts and projects.
I love these sets. I made some bibs and burp cloths for a coworker’s baby shower and will do more for my sister who is expecting. I didn’t use the soft material on the back, but I do like that idea.
Here are mine that I made: http://lifeon19th.blogspot.com/search/label/baby
The baby gift set is adorable. I haven’t seen an entire package put together like that before. It’s an inspiration! Love the fabric choice too-
What a great gift idea…I love the fabric.
Inspiring! I’m headed to my stash right now to get something together for my daughter’s 6 month “birthday.” Need an excuse, right…?
these are great! i have a bunch of friends that are having babies lately!
Good timing
I just found out a coworker is pregnant. Time to get the baby shower gifts going!
What a great way to make unique baby gifts. Making your own opens up endless possibilities for color schemes instead of the usual pastels.
Cute ideas!! A friend of mine had a baby yesterday and I was thinking of making her a little something like this…
Green fat quarters sound nice….thanks for the chance to win!!
I love it! We’ve had FIVE sets of friends give birth to baby boys in the past two weeks — this is a great idea for how to greet them all!
This is a great way to use scraps.
I love the designs in her shop!
I think your site is amazing! I am new to sewing and crafting and I find your tutorials to be quite helpful!
Thank you for the wonderful visuals and easy to follow instructions!
Thanks, I have three prego friends and am looking forward to making fun baby projects with my fat quarters.
Love the handmade baby gift idea and it’s great to be able to use a fat quarter per item- what a great way to mix and match fun prints and not have to buy an armload!
Baby gifts are probably my favorite thing to make!
This set is really very cute. My son will love it. He is six weeks today.
Cute stuff for babies!
such neat idea and fabulous presentation.
Great ideas, thank you! Seems to be a baby boom lately with my friends, so that is quite helpful.
Baby items are what got me into sewing a year ago. All of the items suggested are very easy for a beginner to complete and very useful for any new Mom.
This is what I needed! I always am looking for great baby shower gifts to make. Thanks so much!
What an elegant gift! I can’t wait until the next baby shower!
The ideas today were incredible. I’ll need to make a set of burp cloths for here and at the grandchild’s home! Thanks, Sew, Mama, Sew!!!!
Wow, so many great ideas. Where will I find the time to try them???
How cute. That paisley fabric is to die for cute.
Beautiful Fabric!
These are beautiful. I have two upcoming baby showers these would be perfect for.
So many good ideas…I could sit here all day looking at all the stuff
This is super! My friend just had a baby & this is going to be perfect!!
This is fabulous!! I love this idea and your fabric choice is beautiful!!
They are soo adorable~!
Oh, what nice gift ideas!
Baby gifts are probably my favorite thing to make right now – I guess because everyone I know is having a baby, plus they tend to be small items. I like to sew small items because I can get them finished. And there is nothing I love more than finishing a sewing project. Unless maybe it’s starting a sewing project.
Very cute set!!
Expecting #2 with lots of time to wait…I’ll be using up some of my fatties for these.
These are always the most fun to make – such a great and appreciated gift for new moms. Throw it in a homemade diaper bag (probably need more than a FQ for that), and they’re set!
that’s a gift any baby and mama would enjoy:) so cute
oh, green. how do i yearn for green!
I love making baby stuff! Great tutorials!
I love this idea!!
Pretty! I am currently in need of 3 baby gifts. What a great idea! Thanks.
What a cute idea for a baby gift or for your own personal use.
Excellent ideas and tutorials!! Thanks!
Really fun! what a great gift idea!
Great posts and great links. Baby gifts are one of my favorite things to give handmade.
such great ideas!!! This whole month has been so inspiring, I’m sad it will be over soon
OoooH- baby gift sets…all matching..what a wonderful idea…I have 3 friends having babies in the next 6 weeks…I think I best go start sewing…Thank- you for this great idea. I think I will be sad when fat quarter month is over !
I could have used some of those darling burp cloths with my oldest son. He was very much a spitty baby and the flannel burp cloths with crocheted edges just didn’t cute it.
These are great.
Great ideas. Thanks.
Yes, these would make a wonderful gift for that new baby. I need to follow some of those tutes and see what else they have in store!
I am hooked this month! my babe has just gone down for a nap and I’m trolling through the blog to find a quick little project to make. THANK YOU! so much for doing all the tutorials.
such great ideas for baby gifts…..thanks for all of the inspiration for sewing with fat quarters….
Susan
Love it. I am going to teach some sewing to new moms and will show them this. Thank you.
Thanks for these ideas, I’ve been looking for some stuff to make for my cousin!
Lovely. These are especially pretty.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Ooooo!
Love this! I have so many pregnant friends!
Oh, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Love baby ideas…everyone I know seems to be having a baby! Thanks!
There are so many cute, cute ideas at the Flickr site. That will definitely be one I bookmark for inspiration.
Love the green paisley. Sure makes a nice gift. Thanks to all the people posting their stashes, I was inspired to organize and fold for 4 hrs last night!
Thanks! These will be very handy the next time there’s a new baby in the family! If only I had started reading SMS a year ago when my God son was born, haha!
I need to start making baby items. Thanks for ideas
Cute stuff as always. I have a baby shower coming up so this is incredibly timely.
Thank you! Thank you for the great baby links. My sister is having her first and I can’t wait to start making baby items since my little ones aren’t so little anymore!
how cute – perfect for all the mamas to be in my little circle. Thanks for all the great ideas!
I love these ideas! Thanks!
I love making baby things from fat quarters!
All the ideas for fat quarters have been awesome! Just wish I had more time to sew…Thanks for the inspiration!
Everybody does such lovely work. I love all the different sets.
Great ideas for baby!
What a great set! I love that fabric.
I like these alot!
I make burp cloths all the time for my pregnant friends (seems like there are more and more these days!) with fleece and terry cloth. I have a cousin that I am making some for this weekend, and will have to try one of these methods! Thanks!
Have just discovered this site (yes I know, where have I been!) and these look great.
Who wouldn’t feel great using that awesome green/black paisley baby set? My “baby” is 3 and I was wanting it… I am bookmarking this page for a baby shower I have coming up! Thanks a bunch!
making things like this for baby is a great gift for both mother and child…i know i was appreciative of having nice fancier things when my baby girl was born, wasnt so “babyish”
With grand-baby number 4 on the way this is one project I need to get busy on!

Lovely baby items – such inspiration!!
Love, love, love that fabric!

perfect for a baby shower (and i have a few coming up). awesome!
I love making baby things. I’ve done the burp cloths before and used terry cloth for the backing, worked great!
Yay! I love to make baby stuff. Not only do I have a bunch of pregnant friends, but I also have a 2 month old to sew for (and a 2 year old!). Oh, and green just happens to be my favorite color!
These are awesome! I love the colors and fabric!
Thanks for all of the great ideas! I just love making baby things!
Those are so very cute – and chic!!
Lots of great baby gift projects in this post… I’m not at the baby stage of my life, but will bookmark this for future use.. Thanks
love the idea!
the fabric is fantastic! so perfect for a baby gift.
What a great idea!
Love it! Just wish I’d had these tutorials & my sewing machine last year when friends/family had a major baby boom. Oh well, I’m sure another one is just around the corner!
What a fun idea! I love the vintage burp cloths from the Flickr pictures.
wow so many comments. love using fat quarters for a variety of projects. great for bibs/burps.
I love all of these baby things! I can’t wait to try some of these projects out- 2 new nieces on the way!
love the fabric in this use b/c it is not traditional baby. great ideas too!
Thanks for the inspirations!
Love the coordinating fabrics. It’s always nice to have something very soft against a baby’s skin.
What a great way to not end up with tons of scraps of fabric…. make the gifts out of fat quarters! I’ve been making baby booties, and I bet I could get a pair easily out of a fat quarter and not have big stacks left over! These look pretty straight forward to produce, but lovely to receive!
I’ve just found your blog and website via craftzine.com. I’m looking forward to following your inspiring ideas.
Beautiful set! My project list keeps growing!
Since my son just had a baby I’m enjoying all these creative baby ideas and could certainly use the fat quarters.
Ruth
i love making baby gifts. I used some fat quarters to make some fabric blocks not too long ago…
yeah, now i have a present to make for a baby shower on saturday! thanks.
Wow, I think that’s a fantastic idea, everything co-ordinates so weill.
great post! thanks for all the tutorial links and the giveaway!
I’m so glad you were able to use my tuts here! Thank-you so much for the mention!
I’m loving all the fat quarter ideas! Thanks everyone!!
So perfect for baby showers. It seems that everyone I know is pregnant too!
That color green is so pretty. As more of my friends and relatives have babies, this sort of project is very useful!
My friend just had her third baby and I was looking for a way to give a traditional gift a twist. This will be it. Thanks!
Totally awesome fabrics!
Sweet gift idea. thank you! I love the green and chocolate, is it(?) fabric…gorgeous….
THAT is beautiful fabric! I love the ideas I find here on this blog. Thanks so much!
soooo stinkin cute! This makes my desire for a little girl so much stronger! Love that paisley green
Wow really nice fabric….made these burp cloths for my granddaughter last year when she was born. Well here I am crossing my fingers and eyes hope I win this month, if not there will be next month right?
I am very new to sewing and love the idea of starting with smaller projects. You have some wonderful things listed to motivate me! Thanks!!
Thanks for the info. Always looking to build my stash of FQ and add to the inspiration!
