Craftster user agrafikartist shows step-by-step how to make a soft, snuggly, eco-friendly diaper for newborns.

You can find the tutorial here!

Shannon, from luvinthemommyhood has posted a tutorial for making bibs out of placemats! I love this idea. Placemats are designed to be durable, plus you can find some really gorgeous prints nowadays!

Jean from The Artful Parent made these super-cute cloth diaper covers from thrifted sweaters! I used cloth with both of mine, but the wool soakers were always a little too spendy for me. Repurposing sweaters is a wonderful alternative! Jean was very kind to link to the patterns and tutorials that she used, so go on over and be sure to read through the comments for a great discussion on the benefits of using wool to cover baby’s bottom!

This ruffled onesie tutorial has already made its rounds on all the linky sites, but I’m a total sucker for ruffle butts so I’m inlcuding it here as well. Although my girls are, sadly, past the onesie stage, I could totally see myself going crazy with ruffle butt onesies for baby gifts! Go to U Create to see the tutorial!

I’m way behind on my handmade shopping lists, but I didn’t want to let this one pass me by.

Dana, from Made (you remember the shirt dress, don’t you?) has just reopened her shop where she sells a variety of hand-sewn baby gear and accessories. You must pop over and take a look! Her designs are fun, simple and downright GOR-geous!

Doesn’t this receiving blanket look so deliciously soft and luxurious? I think I’d like to curl up in it right alongside my baby! Plus, these blankets have stretch which makes them perfect for a nice, tight swaddle!

I also adore her hair clips. They’re so sweet and perfectly girly!

And she hasn’t left out the boys! Check out this cool camo pacifier clip!

Also, be sure to stop by her blog before midnight on Sunday for your chance to win one of these two lovely blankets:

Tiny Decor came up with a way to use stretched canvas to display the alphabet cards she purchased for her son. I would love to do this with our alphabet cards. I believe they’re sitting in a bin somewhere at the moment and I would much rather have them out where we can see them regularly! Stretched canvas can get expensive, though, so I’ll be on the lookout for large pieces of artwork on canvas at the thrift stores that I can just paint over. An explanation of how the cards are attached can be found here! (via Ohdeedoh)
