lspiers Report post Posted January 4, 2010 I just found out I'm going to finally be a Grandpa - my first grandbaby!! So, my wife and daughters are busily knitting and crocheting blankets and stuff, I thought it'd be fun if I could make something too. Problem is, I don't know what. Right now, most of my leatherwork is in holsters for pistols, and I'm sure it's too soon for that. So, I'll ask the forum - does anyone have any good patterns for anything baby related? Moccasins or shoes or something? Any and all ideas would be great! Woo hoooo!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunter Report post Posted January 5, 2010 dear soon to be grandpa, I became a dad about 16 months ago, so I know what you're talking about. My wife made some things for our daughter, when I was wandering what to make her, but then I bought a chest and placed leather in and on it, maybe this is an idea. otherwise, check out this link http://www.michaelmillerfabrics.com/blog/cloth_shoe.pdf cheers, Gunter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King's X Report post Posted January 6, 2010 First, congrats! I have a pattern for a baby photo album, baby diaper introducing the child and baby mocs, I think. I will have to dig and hopefully you will not need them like soon. I am feeling under the weather. I can check for you, but please give me some time, okay. Happy New Year!

Torquewrench Report post Posted January 10, 2010 Congrats Grandpa!! My suggestion is go to the second hand store and buy a diaper bag. Rip it apart for your pattern. Make a leather one and it will still be around when this grandchild goes to college to be used as a book bag! My 2 cents, Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
