a simple handmade gift

Earlier this year my husbands workmate and his wife welcomed their first child into their family.

For the new mum I made a wheat and lavender heat pack with a removable cover. On one side of the cover was a nice print, some linen and crochet trim and on the other side was soft cozy minke fleece. I made an envelope opening for quick and easy access (and no buttons or zips to get hot).

For the baby I added to a store bought gift with a little bunny softie made out of  stretchy knit fabric. I wanted to keep it for my own children but that would be like taking toys from a baby so I told myself that I have leftover fabric to make them their own.

Two simple little gifts.
