One of the things about babies is that they are tiny. You don't need much material to make a little pair of boots or a pair of mittens. If your little one already has a big sister then don't forget that she might welcome a few things for her dolly!
You can even make things for yourself from your offcuts, so don't chuck them in the bin - make use of them!
My 2m length of ivory fleece which I bought for £7.98 was bought to make the lining for the winter baby sling. The offcut from that was used to make 6 nappy wraps for Amelia and 1 dolly nappy wrap for a My First Baby Annabelle. The offcuts from the nappy wraps were used to make 4 pairs of bitty boots, 4 matching pairs of mittens and a beanie hat. Not bad for £8!
I made a number of accessories for Beth's Baby Annabelle doll from offcuts. Bedding, nappy wrap and baby sling. I still have some small scraps of fleece left too, just big enough to make some bitty booties and mittens for the Baby Annabelle!
Some of the other offcuts were used to make myself a new needle case & breast pads.
Items made for the baby from offcuts include head hugger, changing mat, booties, nappy wraps, nappy liners, cleaning cloths, pillow & pillow case.
