7 DIY Holiday Gift Ideas for Mom of a Baby Girl

November 23, 2017 By Chie

girls apron DIYI have recently been doing a much needed overhaul of my site. My site is finally mobile friendly! You don’t have to pinch in to zoom when you are looking from your phone. I’m very excited about that:) My new theme is from Lovely Confetti – Christina has many beautiful, romantic and modern WordPress themes. As I was making the updates, I flipped through the old blog posts and I thought it might be fun to take a look back in my archives and showcase some fun gifts I made in the past. Since I have daughters, most projects have a girl focus, so it would be great to give to mom of girls for upcoming Holiday. First up is this little ruffle apron. I made it when Kiko was two but she still wears it to do tea parties or when she does cooking lessons at her daycare. nursing cape tutorial

I made this for my friend as a gift and it took her through her entire nursing period! It is so easy to make. The tutorial comes with an easy-to-follow diagram.Deer head tutorialGreat addition to kid’s room wall. When you look for deer head decor in stores, it is quite expensive but you can make your own with  dollar store clay and a stick from the park! DIY silk eyemaskHow about gifting a handmade silk eye mask for a new mom? It might come in handy when taking a nap with her newborn. plaid wool skirt for little girlThis little plaid skirt is a great project for a sewing beginner. You only need a small amount of fabric, and it is all straight sewing! DIY tutorial how to make a diaper cakeIn this post, I wrote about how to make a diaper cake and use embroidery chain stitch to make a card. Last but not least, here is a post on daisy print little girl’s dress. I also made a kimono cardigan using the same fabric.

かのこ柄の赤いウォッシャブル着物から、ミディ丈のワンピースを仕立てました👘✂️
クラシカルなカシュクールデザインのフロントと、背中がまるく開いたバックシャンなシルエットがポイント。
ジャケットやカーデを羽織れば、普段使いにもぴったりです🧥✨
Vネック、ウエストのタック、すっきりIライン、ふんわりパフスリーブ…
シンプルだけど、細部までこだわった一枚です🌸

Made this midi dress from a washable kanoko-patterned red kimono👘✨
From the front, it looks like a classic cache-coeur dress — but turn around, and there's a chic, round cut-out in the back.
Layer it with a jacket or cardigan for an easy everyday look🧥🌿
Features a V-neckline, subtle tucks at the waist, a clean I-line silhouette, and puff sleeves with an open back for a modern twist🌸

去年訪れた鹿児島・錦江町で、不要になった帯を回収する企業から受け取った@tuzu.naturaldye さんが、私に託してくれました🦢 
大切な布を新たな形へとアップサイクルし、このビスチェに仕立てました✂️ 

スカートは、着物の裏地として使われていた薄手のシルクを、柔らかなピンクの染料で染め上げ、ラップスカートに仕上げています。 

伝統がある質の良い素材を生かしながら、日常に取り入れやすいアイテムへ。 
あなたの大切な服にも、ストーリーがありますか?

On a visit to Kinko Town, Kagoshima, I received this obi from @tuzu.naturaldye, who had originally obtained it from a company that collects unwanted fabrics. She passed it on to me, knowing it still had value and potential. 

I upcycled the fabric into a bustier, giving it a fresh form while preserving its history. 

The skirt is made from the delicate silk lining of a kimono, which I dyed in soft pink to bring out its beauty in a new way. 

By transforming high-quality traditional textiles, I create pieces that can be seamlessly integrated into everyday life. 
Do your favorite garments hold a story too?
