What to make for a second baby?

No, not mine.  But a member of my family is having another child.  Since they have most of what they need there isn't a registry.  Since my crafting has taken a back seat for a while I was itching to make something.
I had this adorable blue and grey Old Navy sweater that tore.  Instead of fix it I decided to turn it into a set of baby pants.  I found a great tutorial for making baby pants from T shirts.
My sweater that will be re-purposed.

The project was fast and easy and reminded me how much I love to craft. They came out pretty well and I think I did a good job of matching the stripes up.  I even have plans to make Garrett some summer shorts out of dish towels.

New baby blanket and a new stuffed toy. Parents may have lots, but every baby deserves it's own special, made for them blankie! And a toy no one handed down. I usually always crochet a new blanket for second baby.

I don't have time to knit a new blanket. We're already giving them all the hand me downs from our son.
