Linky Thursday on Friday

As you probably have guessed by now, I'm addicted to participating in swaps. My latest, (another) Newborn & Baby swap, has inspired me to search for package ideas. Here's some of the latest (and greatest) links devoted to kids:

Need a quick baby dress? Try your hand at this easy tutorial for modifying a onesie into a t-shirt dress. [link via Innovative Sewing]

Make a handmade baby quilt and you might win a gift certificate to Superbuzzy! I'm drooling over this contest! [link via the long thread]

Skip the Pampers and make your own cloth diapers.

Recycle a t-shirt (or an outgrown romper) into a pair of kids pants or an adult tank into a toddler one piece. [link via Whip Up]

Make a playmat for on the go fun.

Have a swaddler? Here's a cute blanket tutorial to try with your little one. Personally, we have to use a GIANT blanket at home just to keep Easton tucked in. [link via Whip Up]

Capri Sun bags are still as popular as ever - in fact, Taylor made me buy her a pencil case made from them for school this year (there wasn't enough time to have to chug all the pouches, let them dry, and sew before school started). Now you can make your own with this tutorial from My Montessori Journey.

Going swimming? Sew up a child's pool robe!

If you take toys on the go (or anything else, how about making a child-size string backpack [link via The Crafty Crow] or this simple, yet cute design made from a pillowcase [link via my half of the brain]!

A beautifully knitted cotton baby blanket. Be sure to check out their other great tutorials, Fabric Beach Balls and Toadstool Baby Rattles.

Easton loves his crinkle toys, now I can make my own with this video tutorial for a DIY crinkle book. [link via noile dot net]

Of course, Craft, has recently linked to a number of great projects including:

A diaper and wipes case wristlet.

How to make a frog washcloth from washcloths.

Altering a t-shirt into an infant gown.

How to make a monster plush (a great way to turn your child's drawings into a 3-D toy).

Knitted leggings - I wonder if you could make those adult size?

I used a sleep sack for Aidan and it worked great as he so restless. I just found a pattern at McCall's to make one for a friend's baby.
