A great idea for old baby clothes
Categories: Baby essentials, Kid decor & style
If you're anything like me, you end up with boxes of outgrown baby clothing every few months. With two that are at the top of the height percentile, I'm constantly packing up favorites while trying not to cry about an outfit my child will never wear again.For the most part, I save a few favorites and then either donate or sell the rest. Friends who are
While flipping through an older issue of Child Magazine, I found the answer: The Willow Creek Baby Memory Blanket.
The people at Willow Creek will take 16 items of your child's clothing and turn it into a "memory" blanket for $75.00. What a great way to preserve the clothes without keeping them hidden in a box!
I can't wait to have saved up enough items of clothing for each of my kids to make one of them.

Beautifull idea. I want to do the same with my Betty's old clothes.

It's a FABULOUS idea and the blankets are adorable...but is that TERRY that they are backed with? Wouldn't fleece or cotton make it much more cozy?

My mom does that with all the baby clothes. We each have one and all the grandkids have one as well. she also uses receiving blankets.

I'm hoping to get one of the Grandma's who can sew to help me do something like this for my kids.

OH MY! I just wrote a post this weekend about weeping while putting Nick's clothes away... for good? AH! Love it! (But I'd do it myself, of course.)

What a great way to part you and your money. Quilt is very easy and you can do a crude quilt, like what's in that picture, for a very minor fraction of the cost....

Personally, I don't like the idea.. I mean part of the fun in saving a few baby outfits is pulling them out one day to marvel at how tiny your child used to be and possibly pass some on to your grandchildren.
