I don't know about you, but when it comes to baby gifts, the same old thing is getting very boring. Luckily, a friend of mine and I ran across a blog, Make It and Love It, which gave us the idea for a fun and inventive gift!
Pee-Pee Teepees are the latest craze in baby boy gifts, and now I can make them myself! So can you! They are very easy and you can make them to fit any baby boy's style.
All you will need, besides the usual sewing gear, is a small amount of basic printed fabric and some coordinating flannel. Trace a circle about six inches in diameter and fold in half for the pattern. Cut this pattern out onto the print and the flannel.
With the right sides of the fabric facing each other, sew the arch portion of the half circle together, leaving a small inseam.
Turn right side out, and pin the arch portion to flatten. Sew this portion again to get the best outcome, and sew as close to the edge as possible. Fold in half again, with the right sides of the pattern facing each other. Sew the raw edges together, using a straight stitch, and then resew with a zigzag.
Trim, turn right side out, and you now have the most adorable handmade gift!
Sew a few, put them in a bag, and round it out with this poem I found on SevenThirtyThree...
Changing a baby girl is not all glitz and glory;
Changing a baby boy is another horror story!
You hold his feet with one hand
and the diaper with the other;
The whole time praying,
"Please, don't pee on your Mother!"
and some handmade packaging...
and walla!
