Baby's Sleeping Bag

These sleeping bags were the best thing when my kids were tiny.

My son in particular used to kick the covers off constantly, and the sleeping bag kept his fat little legs warm at night.

Fat Quarter Handbag

Isn't this the smartest handbag you've seen all year?

And made using only a fat quarter in a fabric you love, some plain fabric to line it and a pair of handles and interfacing (for stiffness).

There are so many gorgeous quilting fabrics to choose from, you won't be able to stop at one!

Doll's Boxer Shorts

 A cute little pattern for boxer shorts your child's doll can wear!

Diaper Clutch

Americans call them diapers, but we call them nappies.

Not sure where the different names came from.
It's weird, isn't it?
