Weekend Crafting

I finished a few of my old WIPs just in time on Friday and Saturday.

For the baby shower (for a new nephew that is coming in June):

A baby kimono/jacket. This is the same vintage pattern that I used for Sawyer. It's definitely a keeper. In fact, I think this may be the gift I make for all new babies. I really like the pattern. I lined the jacket in white cotton and used a red vintage button.

I hope it's not too over the top, but I made a matching bib, burp cloth, and diaper/wipe case. I made the diaper case a little wider than my last one to accommodate a larger wipe container. It, too, is lined in white cotton with a matching red vintage button. The bib and burp cloth are backed in white chenille. My brother loved it. It surprised me that a man would say that, but I was very happy that he did.
And finally, I finished all the cards for my mother and mother-in-law and packaged them. I made two sizes of cards: greeting card size and note cards. I used the Amy Butler scrapbook paper that I just love.

And following the suggestion of a first-time commenter, Kim, I made some patchwork picture frames from the Denyse Schmidt book. (Thank you, Kim, for the wonderful suggestion!) I worked on these Saturday. I made larger ones for our mothers (5x7" picture in 8x10" frame) and smaller ones for our grandmothers and Great-Aunt Lettie (4x6" picture in 5x7" frame). I used our Easter photo and the two larger frames had scraps of the children's Easter outfits.
