Stuffed Animals and Dolls
There is nothing called enough toys for children. They always need more and what could be better than a teddy bear or a stuffed animal that will last with them while they grow older? Sew your baby’s little jerseys or beanies into stuffed animals and give them a new life.
Memory Quilts
Are you looking for a new blanket for your baby? Cut clean squares from your favorite shirts or tiny blankets and sew them together to make a nice and comfortable quilt for your little kid. Each piece of that quilt points to the memory that you want to hold on and would be a nicer thing to pass down to the next generation.
Pillows
You can craft a new pillow using your little one’s outgrown clothes. Baby wraps or blankets are the perfect pieces to make a pillow. The best part is that you can also repurpose the cuttings as the pillow stuffing. So, there will be no waste generation in this case.
Doll Clothes
Your little child has sentiments for his/her childhood toys. So, what could be better than collaborating on your emotions and creating something memorable for both? Thus, doll clothes are the best idea to upcycle girls clothing. As baby clothes are already so small, you don’t have to do a lot of tiring sewing tasks.
Final Words
In conclusion, there are many ways to repurpose your little one’s tiny clothes. Whether you are planning to create stuffed animals, pillows, or memory blankets, it is a great idea to preserve your memories in a better form to extend their lifespan.
My name is Andrea Thompson and I’m a home based freelance writer. I’m 23 years old, married to my best friend, and mother to a wonderfully independent and opinionated 3 year old girl and step-mother to a sweet seven year old boy. I live in a tiny, little town in Kentucky, where I spend my free time fishing with my kids.
Writing has always been my passion, which I followed through high school, and for a while in college. Life happened, and once I discovered we were pregnant, I switched directions; opting for the healthcare industry because of the stability.
Finally, years later, I was in a place where I could leave the day job that never truly made me happy, and pursue my dreams. I’ve built, and am still building, my writing career from scratch. But, I’m passionate and I’m good at what I do. And, in the end, I can prove to my daughter that she can do anything she wants with this life.
