I am looking for real easy baby gift patterns.
Does anyone have or can tell me where to get.
Or do you have a good tute?

flannel receiving blankets--two layers of flannel stitched together, turned right side out and embellished with rick-rack 2" in from the edges all around, or those great hooded bath towels, bibs, burp cloths, stuffed animal,

I buy fingertip towels, lately from Target in their $ area at entrance of store, and make bibs out of them. I cut a hole in top center and sew rib knit around the neck (hole). Right now they have summer themed towels - sharks on blue, duckies on green, butterfly printed ones, and flip-flops on pink. They run 2 for $2.50, so for about 15 mins. you have a cute bib. My daughter loves them for her son because they cover his whole body when sitting. PM me if you need more info.

Make a couple of crib sheet sets in flannels or Knit jersey.

Here's a link for making the fitted sheets.

I make my daughter flannel on one side and cotton on the other. she loves these because they are not too heavey and warm. I also make her a quilt to go along with it. bibs are another great thing and the last two babies I have made baby washcloths. Oh another thing are those cute little diaper bags. the little one that holds just a couple of diapers.

I made the same ones for my grand kids moms loved them.
the ribbong I used was loose and I made it longer than the patterns showed so it was under their chins
