A dozen or so newborn Very Baby diapers. These are pockets or covers. Made for a friend who ended up not needing them. I've been giving the rest away a few at a time.

Here is a lovely stack of NICU smocks.

I modified the pattern to be one piece which makes the sewing go much faster- just 2 layers.

I'm still using her original pattern, but she has since updated it and made it very fancy. These go to a local hospital that serves tiny newborns who are ill. A dear friend of mine is their nurse.
I think sewing these is such a worthwhile cause because parents have such a hard time connecting with their new babies when they are hooked up to machines, under lamps, in incubators, and part of the hospital. These little smocks give these babies an opportunity to get 'dressed' so the parents can see them as little people and hopefully help them to bond. They are made with soft cotton flannel and velcro. They are made with flaps that open completely so they don't interfere with leads, wires, and machines.
A baker's dozen.

Here is a diaper that is showing off the new tag! These tags are so much more fun than the boring ones I used to order.

Another dozen diapers. Oddly enough, I will have to start being more organized about this. We will be needing about 30 mediums and larges ourselves next year.

They may not look thrilled, but I am!!

YAHOO!! 84 diapers! This is the largest box I've sent yet, to Miracle Diapers! Thanks to a couple of friends who tossed in a couple too! I think I'm going to take a break from sewing diapers and work on some other projects for a while.

May not look like much, 50 more. I'll donate about half of them.

Making these baby hats is a great way to use up soft yarn for quick small projects to donate. I've tried the same pattern in the round and flat with seaming. Oddly, I think the seaming goes faster.
