Gag gift for baby shower
For my friend Hannah's shower, I had an idea hit me when I read on
the invitation that she did not want anyone to buy her disposable
diapers because she was going to do cloth diapering. Just as I read
that, it hit me. (me, the person who didn't do cloth diapers) I had a
few empty diaper boxes that I'd kept. I thought it would be a good prank
to wrap her gift in one of the diaper boxes. Ahahahaha! So mean
>_<
I made several goodies, and of course, I took pictures. I also took photos while I packed the box :-)
This was my first no-sew blanket. With just one tip about the corners from my friend Brittney at the fabric store, I was off and running. It was a refreshing project since I didn't have to sit at the sewing machine..where I already spend so much time.

Here's the box!!
I put some scraps in the bottom to weight it down..hoping that it
would give it enough weight to make it seem believable as a box of
diapers.
Then went in the blanket...
Then the Bibs...
and the little sensory Tugg&Teethe thing I made....
Last were a few little onsies...
When Hannah opened the box, her smile was like plastered on her face.
I could just imagine what was going through her mind "I can't believe
she bought diapers when I specifically asked everyone not to." I made
sure to sit near her so I could tell her that it wasn't diapers and that
it was a gag gift. She laughed; it was a good gag :-)

A few weeks later I got around to finishing the burp cloths I'd cut
out. They're very manly burp cloths. Daddy won't have any qualms about
using these :-)
and you used your favorite stitch!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. :-)
