How did I make those baby things? Find out!

Thanks for all wonderful comments about the gifts I made Asha! I am still in the process of several more things. It turns out that I have more fabric than I originally thought I did! Always a good thing. Some of you expressed interest in how to make the things so here are the blogs where I got the tutorials. Now, some of them I didn't follow exactly but that's okay! For the most part, all the tutorials are REALLY easy, even for inexperienced/new sewers! Here they are:

Carseat canopy/cover - I looked at these two websites to make Asha's

Diaper changing pad clutch (This website also has other versions of the clutch. Some are super cute!)

This tutorial is for a diaper clutch without the changing pad. I would suggest putting the Velco a little higher on the part that the flap attaches to. Mine won't quite hold the hard wipes travel cases but not a big deal. I am giving it to Asha and she can use it for organizing her diaper bag :)

The following website is where I got the instructions to make the crib sheet. One note on this is that you have to make sure that it is 45 in wide. I washed the flannel before making it and it got stringy and took off 3 inches total. But I sewed ribbon to the edge to make it the right size again.

The cloth rings and wee wee wigwams are from this website (they are under her baby tag):
