I would love a cot sheet tutorial, and also the IKEA box cover tutorials! Now I think I might have the motivation to make another stack of bibs for my daughter, I thought I had enough... you’re right, you can NEVER have enough especially when they are teething!
I would add a big zippered, net or mesh laundry bag; big enough to go from washer to dryer and maybe a few. I like to add 2 scratch mitts in 2 sizes realizing they may never be used; seems they're needed most at some o'clock diaper change or before payday. I like kimono shirts using twill tape (or self-make single fold) and snaps for the NB-3m size; i "line" sealing at the bottom hem rather than fuss with bias. (This comes from no single pattern et al, feel free to use at will.) If they're using a porta crib, I like to make a porta crib cover with deeper boxed corners going down the sides for use as a sun cover; or a 2 layer with the corners cut out and ties, tabs with snaps, tabs with snaps to secure the corners and top. If a summer baby, I like to make car seat ponchos, bucket covers, stroller covers, etc..out of breathable fabric; similar fir rain/snow protection in winter using a rip-stop nylon, poly shower curtain, or similar. I like to make washable, travel diaper changing pads using a self-binding blanket design with pouch pocket across the bottom which has a single stitch line up the center to create two channel pockets; for fabrics, i prefer thinner terry against baby and quilting cotton/poly cotton for the shell and pocket so they can be pretty much single use and wash although some prefer PUL for the shell and its added protection.
With my first baby I was gifted a sling. I found it a good idea, but it was too big, my babies were all six pounders. So with baby three I sat down and designed and built one on a smaller scale. It was so useful! They are the best hands free or nearly free device on the market. I made mine with a woven scrap and found really inexpensive, strong plastic rings, so almost free. My “baby” turns thirty in two weeks, there are so many things now we didn’t have then. I really like those grocery store basket cover things, not having to worry about trying to clean those would be nice. And car seats are so much easier to manage, I like the idea of the ones that snap into a stroller frame, but have not used one to see if they work well in practice.
My wife would love to see video on wet bags for babies we are grand parents of little ones. She has friends that are having children such a neat idea! Thanks marie
Every beginning school year, I make my daughter a dress for the first day of school and my son a vest for the first day of school. Thoroughly enjoy doing that!
We are expecting our 1st Grandbaby in March 2023 🎉. We are so excited and I want to start sewing now. I would love tutorials on all of the 10 items mentioned and any more that you have. New subscriber here 👏. Thank you for sharing 👍 Stay safe healthy and happy 😃 ✝️🇺🇸
Congratulations that's very exciting!!! I have made tutorials of most of these projects now and they're all linked in the description box of this video. If I've missed any that you're interested in though just let me know. Happy sewing!!
Hi Marie, Carrine in Idaho, USA. You’ve got some great ideas, and great videos. We now have our first grandchild, and I want to make a fitted crib sheet, so I’d LOVE to see and use your video on that. Thank you!
Congrats on your new grandchild!! How exciting!! I haven't got a video up yet about crib sheets but I know Dana has a good one here if you like. I do plan to make a video myself for crib sheets one time too. czcams.com/video/_RkD7sMiLFA/video.html
Awesome video! Watching from West Virginia, USA! So impressed that you get so much sewing done with four little ones! Getting ready to be a first time grandmother and will definitely use your ideas! Blessings to you and your adorable children!☺️💕
Thank you for your comment and congratulations on becoming a grandma! My husband is great at helping out to give my time to sew which I really appreciate because it's certainly heard to make time with looking after the kids. I'm glad you enjoy my tutorials 💕 thanks for connecting
Would love tutorials on all the above mentioned. Now as a Grandmother I have more time to make for the grandchildren. Just used your taggy toy video to make for my soon to arrive grandson. Thanks for the inspiration. Very keen on the covers for the Kalax boxes.
You have very lucky grand kids that you're sewing for them 💞 I have a few baby projects to release videos about these next few months but hope the kallax boxes video will come out in March. Sorry it's a bit of a wait! It's a good one though
Thanks for the feedback. This is just a sewing channel and baby wearing is a big topic and can be a safety issue so it's best to consult an expert - which I am not. Sorry to not be very helpful explaining how to use the sling. There are lots of great resources on CZcams though if you're interested
I would love a car seat cover tutorial if you haven’t posted one already please. I also used mine for nursing. It was a great cover for that too. And depending on the fabric, its cute to wear with your outfits as a stylish scarf between feedings.
Thank you for sharing! I have been looking for item to make for my daughter's best friend's baby that is due march 17th. I am kind of an honorary Grandma & so excited!
Yes definitely dangerous if unsupervised. We never have it on our baby unless we are there with the pram - but then again, who leave a baby in a pram unattended anyway. Definitely need to use things safely of course.
Hi there, new subbie here, also a new Nanna in rural south Aussie, so it’s awesome to see you’re from Adelaide 👏🏻 I’m searching for a tutorial for making shopping trolley covers 🛒 for mainly the bit where you pop your toddler in the seat, or the baby seat part too. Especially now we don’t like the thought of the baby coming into contact with the trolley, so even after a quick clean with the sanitary wipes it would be lovely to make something that you can cover those areas of the shopping trolley with, it would also be more comfortable for the baby’s too. Thank you, watching this space with interest 😘
Oh I love that idea! I've never made one so I'd need to learn but I'll certainly look into it and see if I can find a pattern or come up with one. Thanks for the suggestion!
Just found your channel and I’m very impressed with all these baby items! I clicked on your video expecting to see tutorials, so I appreciate the links you included! My brother and I are both expecting grandbabies soon, and I REALLY want to make ring slings for the moms-to-be. Have you made a tutorial for that yet?
Thank you so much for your comment. I haven't made a ring sling tutorial at this point. This website has good instructions if you want to follow it from here. Sorry to not have a video to share with you about ring slings at this point. katesurfs.com/2012/11/08/how-to-make-your-own-baby-ring-sling/

That's very kind that you want to make one for your daughter in law - I'm sure she would love it sewtootpatterns.com/ring-sling-tutorial/
I made long sleeved bibs for my daughter and they were indispensable. I found all of the plastic ones were too big and just allowed food to run off onto her lap and the plastic kept getting in her way while eating. The ones I made were recycled fleece blanket and waterproof sheeting that absorbed spit ups and kept her clean without getting in her way while eating. Essentially a wide T shape with bias binding holding the sleeves together. Really useful.
Hi. I was browsing looking for things to make for a friend whose first baby is on the way. You are amazing. I learned so much of what to make and not to make. It was really fun watching. Thanks and I look forward to other videos of yours. Stay safe. 🙂 ~ Arlene
Sewing nesting is much more fun than cleaning nesting hehe You're so close!!! Congrats on your pregnancy. We had our baby boy early on 27th January. I was so done with pregnancy so I was grateful for an early arrival. I just posted a video announcing his name
Absolutely!! Aw congratulations! I just saw the video - he is gorgeous!! I am so ready for my wee girl to arrive now 😆 I love being pregnant but I’m so so ready to meet her!
Hi Marie, I live in Anglesey, North Wales and I am very new to sewing, just made some dog bandanas and bunting so far! I love your video and feel inspired to make a few of your best sewing projects. Taggy Toys, Dribble Bibs, Wet Bags, Cot sheet and Covers for the Ikea Boxes are my “I wish I could make” list! I have subscribed and will try the Taggy Toys first. Looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. Emma
Thanks Emma for connecting! I love hearing you're inspired to give some of those tutorials a go! The taggy toy is a great one to start with as a beginner. You'll have to let me know how you go with them or send me a photo 😃 happy sewing!
Hi Marie, I found you when searching for a cot sheet tutorial, and so pleased I found your channel as I really wanted to watch an Aussie and I'm enjoying looking through your other baby things to sew as I am going to be a grandmother in November, and would like to have a go at making some things for the baby to have at my house.
Congrats on becoming a Grandmother in November! How exciting! What projects do you have in mind that you're hoping to make? I'm so glad my cot sheet tutorial was a helpful one for you
Marie, today I sewed the fitted cot sheet and it was so easy and turned out perfect, so thank you! Next I want to make a play mat/quilt for the floor. Also I want to make some more bedding items for the cot.
I Love everything You have made!! I noticed that the baby bed- hope You know has a Recall !! I saw it at Wal-Mart. They have Recall's on the wall behind the Returns Desk.😮
@@sophienioche4949 ohhhh yep good one. I have a lion cushion I've made which is in my kids play area and I'm sure I could make other animals in the same way. I'll have a go at it and see how I go
Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas. This will be our first grandchild and so I'm very interested in all your ideas and patterns. How can I get them? Thanks again for your help.
Hi Rhonda, Congratulations on your first grandchild! I'm glad these ideas are helpful for you. If you look in the description box of this video and click "see more" it will have links to the different videos I've made for each of the patterns I've shared. If there is one that is not linked that you're interested in though, let me know and I'll try to find it for you.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sounds good, I'll add it to my content calendar probably for around January. Don't forget to subscribe to stick around and see it! 💕
I would like to see a baby car seat cover tutorial please ☺️I love that taggy toys & will definitely makes those 👌. Would the change mat cover be made in PUL? 🥰
Definitely make a taggy toy - they're a great project. I have plans to make a car seat cover in the next month so stay tuned! If you want to make one sooner check out "patterns for pirates" who have a free car seat cover pattern. The change mat can be made out of PUL if you want it to be waterproof and wipeable. You can also use mink or another soft comfy fabric but then it needs to be washed not frequently because it's not wipeable, but is more comfortable
I would love to see all of the ideas of the things you mention. I would like to make these for an adopted baby coming but I dont know how big fitted sheets are etc. I would love to know what size etc for that and a changing sheet. Thank you so much
Congratulations on your upcoming adoption! That's very exciting. I've made a change table cover so that video is linked in the description box but I haven't done a fitted sheet yet. Hopefully I can do that soon, but I'm the meantime this is a good video to help: czcams.com/video/_RkD7sMiLFA/video.html
Thanks Ana that's very sweet of you. I've made a few which are linked in the description box, and as I make more I'll come back to this video and link them here too
Sure I'll work on those tutorials soon. Wet bags you need to use PUL which is a water proof fabric. I've got a video going out this weekend where I'm unboxing and lovely PUL from Noosa Fabric Co so keep your eye out for the video if you're interested
Yes can do, though because each changing pad is a different shape it'll be more the instructions about how to work it out for the changing pad you have if that makes sense
@@MyMumMakes yes that makes sense. Thank you I'm almost 20 weeks and expecting my first. I've been bust making all kinds of stuff for her but I cant seem to find a good video of how to make a few things.
@@bruss081 ohhhh congratulations! You're half way there, how exciting! I'll be posting some more baby related content in the next few months ago hopefully my tutorials will be helpful for you in preparation for your little one coming
How did I know know of your videos? Can you please share the car seat cover, taggy toys, dribble bibs, and wet bag? I now have 15 grandchildren and the oldest is probably going to make me a nana soon, he just loves homemade items. I have done. Blankets for him as he grew. So this would be great.
Hi Sharon! That's very exciting that you're soon to be a Nana, and lovely to hear that your oldest grandson lives homemade items. They're so special and sentimental. If you're looking for the tutorials you listed, they're all linked in the description of this video. If you click the little down arrow next to the title which will open up the description box to "see more" the links to each tutorial are there. Let me know if you can't find it though and I'll try to send it in a different way
I’ve found car seat covers are also great for protecting baby by deterring people from touching and hovering over them. I’ll never understand why as soon as some people see a baby all notions of personal space go out the window!
I can't agree more!! I use the car seat cover for that too. I've had people pull their mask down to shove their head in the pram to get my baby's attention. Shouldn't the fact we were having to wear masks tell them that personal space is kinda important and maybe they should back off?!
Hi Kim! The wet bag video is being released next on my channel so it'll be available in a few days time. I haven't made a crib sheet set video yet but plan to in the future
Ohhh good idea. I likely won't get to it until next June because that's when Reuben will be turning 1. I'll likely make something similar to what I made as am Easter outfit though (just in a larger size). So bloomers, suspenders and a bow tie. I'll link the Easter outfit video and Elijah's Christmas outfit because they would both be good places to start for boy outfits Easter outfit; czcams.com/video/081pxQ0V_uU/video.html Christmas outfit; czcams.com/video/SXynjPGOGkY/video.html
@@maureenirving8156 we used "modern cloth nappies" that are all in one so no pins or storage pilchers. It looks like a disposable in the way it functions but you clip it on using snaps
That's a funny sorry actually...I found it on Facebook marketplace for free! An office was giving a couple of them away from their meeting rooms when they were upgrading furniture. So I got it for free! Sorry to not be any real help. It is a good table. Nice and big and I like the white glass with the silver legs
I have a question! You might not know, but I want to make baby clothing with the fabric I have since I have so much. I don't have any kids yet, but I keep seeing in baby sections that there is organic fabric and stuff like that. A lot of my fabric is super snuggle flannel fabric from Joanne's. I just want to know if this is safe fabric so when I make these outfits, it's safe for when I have kids. (Sorry for the longer question!! I'm hoping to make dresses and overalls )
Tricky question but I'll answer at least with what I know. Flannel is not recommended for use for sleep wear but is suitable generally for other clothing. The best fabric for babies is natural fibres because they're more breathable and help them not overheat. I think it would be fine to make dresses and overalls out of your flannel stash though but as with all baby clothes you just want to watch how it affects their body temperature based on your climate. Not sure if that's helpful but that's as much as I know I'm afraid
I would love a cot sheet tutorial, and also the IKEA box cover tutorials! Now I think I might have the motivation to make another stack of bibs for my daughter, I thought I had enough... you’re right, you can NEVER have enough especially when they are teething!
Sure I'd love to make those videos for you!
And yes...the more bibs the better, I say!
Yes please for those two items :)
Wow, so impressive that a baby can sew all these!
I would add a big zippered, net or mesh laundry bag; big enough to go from washer to dryer and maybe a few. I like to add 2 scratch mitts in 2 sizes realizing they may never be used; seems they're needed most at some o'clock diaper change or before payday. I like kimono shirts using twill tape (or self-make single fold) and snaps for the NB-3m size; i "line" sealing at the bottom hem rather than fuss with bias. (This comes from no single pattern et al, feel free to use at will.) If they're using a porta crib, I like to make a porta crib cover with deeper boxed corners going down the sides for use as a sun cover; or a 2 layer with the corners cut out and ties, tabs with snaps, tabs with snaps to secure the corners and top. If a summer baby, I like to make car seat ponchos, bucket covers, stroller covers, etc..out of breathable fabric; similar fir rain/snow protection in winter using a rip-stop nylon, poly shower curtain, or similar. I like to make washable, travel diaper changing pads using a self-binding blanket design with pouch pocket across the bottom which has a single stitch line up the center to create two channel pockets; for fabrics, i prefer thinner terry against baby and quilting cotton/poly cotton for the shell and pocket so they can be pretty much single use and wash although some prefer PUL for the shell and its added protection.
WOW so many great ideas here! Thanks so much! I'll pin your comment so others can find your ideas easily

Love these suggestions! I'd also love to see how you make your wet bags. Bibs and nursery decor have been my bigs wins for our kids.
Certainly, I'll make wet bags a priority to film soon. It seems they're a popular request.
Every beginning school year, I make my daughter a dress for the first day of school and my son a vest for the first day of school. Thoroughly enjoy doing that!

Marie, today I sewed the fitted cot sheet and it was so easy and turned out perfect, so thank you!
Next I want to make a play mat/quilt for the floor. Also I want to make some more bedding items for the cot.
@@Bundydream I'm so glad it turned out for you!!
Thank you for sharing.
I would love to see a tutorial about IKEA box covers!
Sure! This is the link to the tutorial I made
czcams.com/video/IuPtDn-FSB4/video.html
Love what you have made ans would love to see how you make the cot sheet
Would love the tutorial for the sheets. Bibs too. Thanks so much
My pleasure! I haven't made a sheets video at this point but hope to soon
I Love everything You have made!! I noticed that the baby bed- hope You know has a Recall !! I saw it at Wal-Mart. They have Recall's on the wall behind the Returns Desk.😮
We don't have Walmart here in Australia but I'm sure there would be similar recalls here if necessary. What was it though that was recalled?
Would love to see how you made the cubby covers!
Certainly! I've got some Easter tutorials up next but they're certainly high on my list to do very soon
Thanks. Have you made a tutorial for making a sleep sack?
No I'm sorry I haven't, I've always just bought them to be honest
Just followed your tutorial on how to make a taggy toy! Could you do a video on how to make pillows or cushions for a nursery? Great video!
Good idea. Just like a standard size cushion or something in particular?
@@MyMumMakes I was thinking like animals, owls, dogs, cats, that sort of thing
@@sophienioche4949 ohhhh yep good one. I have a lion cushion I've made which is in my kids play area and I'm sure I could make other animals in the same way. I'll have a go at it and see how I go
7:49 am I would love to see you make a tutorial for a car seat cover.
I've linked that in the description box and it's also full of beginner friendly stretch fabric tips
swaddles and portable changing pads
Thanks I'll keep those ideas in mind :)
Yes fitted sheets i woud like to see😊
Hi, great video, thanks! I would love to see how you make the ikea box covers and the cot sheets 🙂
Thanks for the feedback! I'll gladly make those videos, likely in January or February at this point. Thanks for watching
Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas. This will be our first grandchild and so I'm very interested in all your ideas and patterns. How can I get them? Thanks again for your help.
Hi Rhonda,
Congratulations on your first grandchild! I'm glad these ideas are helpful for you. If you look in the description box of this video and click "see more" it will have links to the different videos I've made for each of the patterns I've shared. If there is one that is not linked that you're interested in though, let me know and I'll try to find it for you.
This was a very nice video. So glad to stumble upon it. I would love to see a tutorial on making a car seat cover or a car seat canopy.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sounds good, I'll add it to my content calendar probably for around January. Don't forget to subscribe to stick around and see it! 💕
@@MyMumMakes , I already have subscribed.
@@lendouma3224 oh yay thanks so much! I look forward to connecting with you more through the comments 💕
@@MyMumMakes 👍
I would like to see a baby car seat cover tutorial please ☺️I love that taggy toys & will definitely makes those 👌. Would the change mat cover be made in PUL? 🥰
Definitely make a taggy toy - they're a great project. I have plans to make a car seat cover in the next month so stay tuned! If you want to make one sooner check out "patterns for pirates" who have a free car seat cover pattern.
The change mat can be made out of PUL if you want it to be waterproof and wipeable. You can also use mink or another soft comfy fabric but then it needs to be washed not frequently because it's not wipeable, but is more comfortable
I like to See how you cover the Ikea boxes
That seems to be a common request! I'll prioritise that for a few videos time
Would love to know the dimensions for the car seat cover and a tutorial for wet bags. They are great!@
Sure no worries! I've made tutorials for both of those now so the links are in the description box of this video
I’d like to see your tutorial for covering the IKEA boxes.

Congratulations on your upcoming adoption! That's very exciting.
I've made a change table cover so that video is linked in the description box but I haven't done a fitted sheet yet. Hopefully I can do that soon, but I'm the meantime this is a good video to help: czcams.com/video/_RkD7sMiLFA/video.html

Hi 👋
Would love the cot sheet tutorial! And the IKEA box covers would be great too :)
Which fabric do you use for the wet bags?
Sure I'll work on those tutorials soon.
Wet bags you need to use PUL which is a water proof fabric. I've got a video going out this weekend where I'm unboxing and lovely PUL from Noosa Fabric Co so keep your eye out for the video if you're interested
Would love to see a tutorial for cot sheets
Sure! Here's the link to the tutorial

Great idea, new subscriber here!
Thanks for subscribing! I hope you enjoy my content
Would love to see fitted sheets tutorial many thx 8
I'm actually working on that right now, it'll be the next video up on my channel ☺️
I’d love a pattern to make a crib sheet!
A lot of people have requested that!!! I need to make that a priority for next year I think. Thanks for the suggestion
Can you do a tutorial for changing pad covers as well as the crib sheets?
Yes can do, though because each changing pad is a different shape it'll be more the instructions about how to work it out for the changing pad you have if that makes sense
@@MyMumMakes yes that makes sense. Thank you I'm almost 20 weeks and expecting my first. I've been bust making all kinds of stuff for her but I cant seem to find a good video of how to make a few things.
@@bruss081 ohhhh congratulations! You're half way there, how exciting! I'll be posting some more baby related content in the next few months ago hopefully my tutorials will be helpful for you in preparation for your little one coming
I hope that you are able to make a tutorial for any of the items that you don’t already have one.
I've done a few more since filming the video and have linked them all the description box of this video
How did I know know of your videos?
Can you please share the car seat cover, taggy toys, dribble bibs, and wet bag? I now have 15 grandchildren and the oldest is probably going to make me a nana soon, he just loves homemade items. I have done. Blankets for him as he grew. So this would be great.
Hi Sharon!
That's very exciting that you're soon to be a Nana, and lovely to hear that your oldest grandson lives homemade items. They're so special and sentimental.
If you're looking for the tutorials you listed, they're all linked in the description of this video. If you click the little down arrow next to the title which will open up the description box to "see more" the links to each tutorial are there. Let me know if you can't find it though and I'll try to send it in a different way
would love a tutorial on the car seat cover
Certainly! I did one just a few months ago. Here you are:
czcams.com/video/wz6qj-Go2Pc/video.html
I’ve found car seat covers are also great for protecting baby by deterring people from touching and hovering over them. I’ll never understand why as soon as some people see a baby all notions of personal space go out the window!
I can't agree more!! I use the car seat cover for that too. I've had people pull their mask down to shove their head in the pram to get my baby's attention. Shouldn't the fact we were having to wear masks tell them that personal space is kinda important and maybe they should back off?!
Ur Brilliant I subscribed to u
Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it and thanks for subscribing 💕
A you can buy most of this at a resale shop too.
Hi Marie. Would you mind sending me link for crib blanket? And wet bag?
Hi Kim!
The wet bag video is being released next on my channel so it'll be available in a few days time. I haven't made a crib sheet set video yet but plan to in the future
I'd like to learn to make fitted sheets.
Sure! I made a tutorial about that here:
czcams.com/video/zb4Wz5XZaTw/video.html
I have just subscribed to your channel and love all the lovely things you have made and demonstrated. Thank you! 😊
@@Carol-xt8ly oh thank you so that's so very kind! Thanks for subscribing!!!
I need the wet bag instructions ♥️
My brothers 1st birthday is coming up. Could you do a boys 1st birthday outfit tutorial?
Ohhh good idea. I likely won't get to it until next June because that's when Reuben will be turning 1. I'll likely make something similar to what I made as am Easter outfit though (just in a larger size). So bloomers, suspenders and a bow tie. I'll link the Easter outfit video and Elijah's Christmas outfit because they would both be good places to start for boy outfits

Fitted sheets
Sure, here is the video I made of making a fitted sheet
czcams.com/video/zb4Wz5XZaTw/video.html
I'm interested to know if you've made covers for cloth nappies?
No I haven't actually. There was too much margin for error with nappies and covers so I just bought cloth nappies for our kids.
@MyMumMakes we used to have pilchers which were waterproof and went over cloth nappies. What do you use?
@@maureenirving8156 we used "modern cloth nappies" that are all in one so no pins or storage pilchers. It looks like a disposable in the way it functions but you clip it on using snaps
I would like for you to make a video for fitted sheets plz😊
Can do - you looking for a cot sized or full bed?
@@MyMumMakes full bed

Where did you get that table!!!! I want it!!!!
That's a funny sorry actually...I found it on Facebook marketplace for free! An office was giving a couple of them away from their meeting rooms when they were upgrading furniture. So I got it for free! Sorry to not be any real help. It is a good table. Nice and big and I like the white glass with the silver legs
I have a question! You might not know, but I want to make baby clothing with the fabric I have since I have so much. I don't have any kids yet, but I keep seeing in baby sections that there is organic fabric and stuff like that. A lot of my fabric is super snuggle flannel fabric from Joanne's. I just want to know if this is safe fabric so when I make these outfits, it's safe for when I have kids. (Sorry for the longer question!! I'm hoping to make dresses and overalls )
Tricky question but I'll answer at least with what I know. Flannel is not recommended for use for sleep wear but is suitable generally for other clothing. The best fabric for babies is natural fibres because they're more breathable and help them not overheat. I think it would be fine to make dresses and overalls out of your flannel stash though but as with all baby clothes you just want to watch how it affects their body temperature based on your climate. Not sure if that's helpful but that's as much as I know I'm afraid
Thank you so much!
@@kikikenny526 no worries at all
Crib sheets please
