One of the greatest things about sewing is that you can make your own gifts for your family and friends. My friend had a baby boy recently, and I sewed up this cute little soft book for him. I know, it's too early for him to read, but we all know that if you read to your baby (starting around 3 months, when he's alert) often, he will develop a love for reading when he's older. This is an investment that young mothers and fathers can take advantage of as early as possible.
The materials for sewing a soft, baby book, are so easily available. I got mine at
Walmart, a great place for arts and crafts and sewing supplies.
This product is a kit which comes with fabric and batting. It makes ten pages and measures around 7"x10". The words are short and sweet. The most important thing about the book is the pictures. The bright colors of the pages are ideal for baby to stimulate his brains.
It is quiet easy to make, although I've never done it before. The pages are printed on the fabric and you just have to cut around them, line them up with the batting in between pages. This is the result of my efforts. The parents (and I hope the baby too) love it!
