I've made a few dresses for my daughter which are very special to me and a Northern Cheyenne friend made some traditional leather beaded moccasins for my son. They are a treasure.

Excited about the giveaway :)

I love handmade items. Both of my girls have used an afghan that my grandmother made for me as a baby. It's so special to me.
I added Wee Stitchery to my favorites on Etsy. I have a couple baby showers coming up, and I think some of the shop's items would make very special gifts. And I'm going to have to get one of the upcycled from vintage apron dresses for my 3.5 year old, Rowan. So precious.

I can't decide if my favorite is the Gertrude dress or that adorably plump baby who is wearing it! Great shop.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I made my daughter a red white dotted coat. That's absolute her favourite and mine too. She tells everyone that her mommy made it!! I very much like the apron dresses of wee stitchery!!

My favorite thing my daughter now wears was a dress my mother made for her out of one of my old dresses. She just updated it a bit and it fits! she loves it! And an upcycled doll that she also made her.

Not clothes or an accessory, but my brother made all my girls a homemade teddy bear. They are priceless.

My mom found a half completed baby blanket that my grandma had crocheted many years before she passed on. It is unclear who the blanket was intended for since it was many years before I was pregnant with my first child. So my mom finished the blanket just in time for the birth of daughter and gave it to us! We will always cherish that blanket made by grandma and her mom. :)

I made my daughter a little dress out of a vintage sheet when she was starting Kindergarten. She's in 2nd grade now but that one is still my favorite. ")
Posted by: Candace | February 02, 2012 at 11:10 AM
My mother is an amazing knitter and she has made loads of things for my daughter, but my two favorites would have to be the striped purple hat and the soft green blanket.
Posted by: Amy | February 02, 2012 at 09:15 AM
All those little felted flowers are just absolutely so cute!
Posted by: Lola | February 02, 2012 at 07:12 AM
can I choose two? if so it would have to be the quilts made for each of my sons by their Nana
Posted by: Charlotte | February 02, 2012 at 12:06 AM
my favourite is a dress I made for myself with Lauren Child for liberty fabric...I love the fit and the feeling of being a kid all again that the dress gives me!

My favorite handmade item is a Westfalen patterned top my mom made for my brother in Germany in the 60's. My brothers and sisters and I all wore it and now my one year old daughter wears it.

The knitted blankets MIL made my girls.

My favorite handmade thing is a quilt that my grandmother made for me as a teenager- it acts as a throw at the bottom of bed and I am daily amazed by her skill. My own children have cozy flannel pjs and some sunhats made by me, but I have yet to take on a quilt for either one of them. Something to aspire to.

The photos are so cute with the adorable babies in their lovely tiny dresses.

My son comes from a long line of knitters, so we're practically (and thankfully) buried in homemade sweaters, but my favorite is a sweet hat my mom made for him. It's adorable and he loves it and will ask to wear it.
Posted by: Kathleen | February 01, 2012 at 01:12 PM
A close friend knit a beautiful sweater for my second son when he was born. I treasure it! Every stitch was a message of love...
Posted by: Jennyroo | February 01, 2012 at 12:30 PM
the quilts and puppets my mother makes my daughters!
Posted by: hannah | February 01, 2012 at 11:55 AM
My mother makes the most beautiful hats for my daughter. She wears them constantly- fall, winter and spring- and happily!

My favorite item is the quilt my mom made for my son.

I made my daughter's first birthday dress -- a five-tier ruffled affair. Of course, she spent most of the day in her swimming suit, anyway, but even the five minutes she wore the dress made me so happy!
I love the dresses that Wee Stitchery has -- not too much busyness, just classic good taste. What a lovely shop.
Posted by: Astrid | February 01, 2012 at 10:01 AM
I love the little dolls I made for baby when I was waiting to go into labor - 10 days late so she can 3 of them!
Posted by: mirabelle | February 01, 2012 at 09:29 AM
Dresses! Particularly Christmas dresses for my daughter.
Posted by: Stephanie | February 01, 2012 at 09:03 AM
My fave handmade thing for my littlest one is a bomber hat from wee stitchery. It's adorable and perfectly crafted. Thanks Lauren!

thanks for the giveaway!

I got my son a pair of baggy handsewn brown plaid pants from Etsy when he was barely a few months old. He started wearing it when he turned one with cuffs folded at the ankles. The beauty of it is that unlike many other store-bought clothing, the elastic waistband gives it a longer lifespan. Even though it's much shorter now, he's still wearing it. And he's almost 4! His sister will be wearing it too, all I have to do is put on a frilly blouse to go with it :)

My favorite handmade thing is a blanket I made for my oldest daughter. It is in every way a test blanket - old, cheap yarn from when I didn't know better, new pattern, added a ruffle border to test that out, and I knitted while nursing, which of course led to mistakes. And she loves it. The thing is hideous, and she totally adores it. I love it now too, because I remember being a fairly new knitter and a brand new mom, and struggling a little with both.
Thanks for the giveaway! These clothes are gorgeous!!
