I have a few friends that have had babies recently, so I have been thinking a lot about ideas for baby gifts. These gauze handkerchiefs are a pretty standard baby item here in Japan, so I thought I would just buy some and do some simple stitching on them. I like the way they turned out, but now I am thinking that the designs don’t seem very baby-ish. Oh well… Tomorrow I am going to start on some bibs.
I like the designs! I do not think everything has to look babyish to be for a baby these days. People appreciate home made items like this - and the fact that it is not too baby-oriented (but still sweet) means it can grow with the baby and still be appropriate. Nice work.
