You can make christening gowns (had a friend who did these and gave them to different family members, then sold others), and little boy christening suites. Have another friend who like Lynnie, she made crazy quilt bears for the family. I did a tonal crazy quilt throw from a wedding dress along with other formal dresses I had around. As you will find satin is a pain to work with (don't use pins, you'll end up with holes), but you will have something your mother loved as well as the memories of your parents. Good luck
