The past couple weeks have been spent doing lots of sewing for baby showers.

I had two of them, back to back, for two special ladies.

Special ladies mean special gifts, so I made what I know best, bags.

These babies have 10 and 11 pockets, matching changing pads, and some pretty fabric.

I used a little lace and a little rick rack for a little hint of baby, but these bags are just for momma.

They can be ordered custom from my etsy store for your special ladies.

The photos (by Burba and Brian!) look nicer there, too.

Now, off to make myself a diaper-free version...
