Sew & Go Baby: A Collection of Practical Baby Gear Projects/With Pattern

Author and mom Jasmine Hubble shares ideas and techniques for making your own travel and at-home baby gear. Easily sew a bath robe, towel and wash mitt, a bunting bag and much more. Clear directions, easy-to-follow patterns and full-color photography combined tell you how.

Baby items are notoriously expensive, and some of the most practical ones (a carrier sling, for instance) can be difficult to find. So invest a little in Sew & Go Baby instead and find dozens of great ideas and step-by-step instructions for assorted gear, clothes, shower gifts and decorations--even a few things to keep older siblings involved. Much of the sewing is relatively easy, and an envelope at the back of the book contains full-size, instantly usable tissue-paper patterns. You may not even realize how much you need a quilted travel high chair, a baby-bed-in-a-bag, or a play blanket that zips up to become a toy tote until you've stitched them up and seen how useful they are--and then you won't leave home without them! --Amy Handy
