Looking for a free sewing pattern for some adorable baby shower gifts? This blog post is a round-up of some of my favorite free sewing projects for babies.
Handmade gifts are really special and they make great keepsakes. And all of these great sewing projects would make great gifts for you to make, or something you can make for your own baby.
Another great thing about them is that sewing projects for babies can use scrap fabric. Because baby items are usually small and that means baby patterns are quick to make.
You can make more practical gifts like baby bibs or burp cloths. Or, you can stitch fancier gifts like a frilly, lacy dress for a baby girl or a little cowboy outfit for a baby boy.
