Welcome to the world, Jack!

My friend in Gothenburg has just become a proud mum to a baby-boy! So I sent a few handcrafted gifts to her little Jack. Starting with this babynest:



I have tried a new pattern this time (where the ring and the mat is a one-piece), but it was actually more difficult to give it a shape that I wanted. Next time I would make the mat and the ring separately but I would keep the nice round shape of the mattress on the top.


The mat has snap buttons so that it is easy to take out the mattress and to wash the babynest.

: pattern: inspired by this
: fabric: lovely green cotton fabric bought at Åhléns

I also made a tiny baby bonnet and a bandana bib and now Jack can rock on the West Coast :)

: patterns: Ottobre Design 5/2006 (bonnet of size 36) and this for a bandana bib pattern
: fabric: yellow jersey with white vehicles from JNYDesign, white ribbing and violet velour

I guess that Jack looks like this in his babynest:
