Recycled baby kit


Because we're broke, and because I cringe at the idea of spending money on an infant who will outgrow any expensive kit in a few weeks or months, I spent the last few months of prengancy in a nesting craft-spree which terrified my partner (deservedly) and covered our floor with fabric scraps (some are still there) and now has resulted in a plethora of recycled baby kit.

Here it is... or part of it. The pocketed hanging thingey is one of a set of three. The other two hang over the doorway, and hold clothes/nappies. This one was made to hang over a curtain rod, and holds socks/hats, etc. I made it out of a pair of linen pants (blue) and an old twin-sheet (yellow stripes). Pretty easy, really - just a few hours with the sewing machine. The pocketed thingey in front is made out of a denim skirt, and holds nappies for the changing table. Phew! Glad to have it all - glad it's all there now. Thank goodness for freaky nesting urges.
