Baby Bunting and a 'Diaper Cake'- Part 2 of 2

A "Red Bearon" stands tall...


 ...atop a layer cake made from rolled disposable diapers...


                                             ...held together with burlap ribbon...



                                                       ...and strips of fabric.



                                                  The gift table 'before'...



                                                            ...and 'after'.




                                    My three younger daughters made the 'cake'...



                                                 ...and the table decorations...





                                     ...and printed and punched the party favors...




                  ...and everyone seemed to enjoy the specially decorated cupcakes...



...for dessert.


                                                Now...we wait for the baby. :)

Baby Bunting and a 'Diaper Cake'- Part 1 of 2

Drawing triangles on a 'fabric sandwich'...

...and machine stitching the two layers of fabric together...


...leaving the short sides open.


                                                     Cutting the pieces apart...


                          

                           ...turning them right-side out, and carefully pressing them.



                              Making a length of bias tape from the self-same fabric...



                             ...and stitching the bunting flags to it at regular intervals.



                                                   The vintage airplane fabric...

                               ...matches my soon-to-be grandson's nursery decor...



                         ...and because the bunting is reversible (to a baseball print)...

            ...I'm hoping that it will be used again, one day, as a birthday party decoration.



                                  A short length of bunting decorates the 'book bin'...

                                    ...and the longer length will adorn the gift tables.



                          We had a baby shower for my eldest daughter, recently...

         ...and my other girls and I prepared the table decorations and party favors.

                                   Next time: more airplane-themed decorations...

                                                ...including a 'diaper cake'! :)
