My blog friend, Tracey, asked if I had any ideas on what to sew for a new baby. Although I have lots of ideas for great gifts, I have to keep it simple as there are not enough hours in the day to keep up with all the new babies being born around me…LOL!
When I have to make quick baby gifts, I tend to do a lot of embroidery and embellishing. I’ll do lots of onesies, burp cloths, bibs, diaper covers and blankets.

THE DOMESTIC DIVA'S DISASTERS™ 
OH WOW! Okay, I don’t know where to start. I want to do them all. It’s a good thing I have four (yeah, that right, I said four) embroidery machines; and I will be running them all at the same time. I probably should have waited until I got home to look at your blog, because now I want to leave work and start sewing. Thank you soooo much Lisa. I really appreciate your gracious generousity.

i love the gift items you have posted here! 🙂 i want to try making booties and underwears with ribbons… they’re just too cute 🙂 how did u start sewing? i want to learn as well 🙂
Hey CJ…I started sewing about 5 or 6 years ago. Even though my mom has sewn all my life, she moved away and I ended up teaching myself. The most important thing I can suggest is to READ, READ and READ some more.
There are great sewing instructions on the internet and in the bookstore. Take a look at Sewing for Dummies and the Reader’s Digest Sewing Book…both are wonderful books to get you started. Good luck!
With friendship,
Lisa
I am soooo happy that I found this site. I am just starting to experiment with different patterns and such and just love this site. Thank you sooooo much!
I would love to know the origin of the monogram design for the Bella panties. I have never seen this and it is very cute. Thanks for all the great info on your blog. pewa
