Under Construction

Hey there!  Excuse our dust as we set up the blog.  We will be posting our free downloadable PDF patterns for outfits, blankets, hats, diapers, bracelets, headbands, and other items we make for our kits.  It's going to take a hot minute to get all the content posted, but hopefully, it streamlines the process of getting patterns and instructions out.  We are also hoping to put together some photo and video tutorials to help with the patterns.  In the meantime, we appreciate your interest, and please email us at thelillypadproject@gmail.com if you need patterns.

Hats and Headbands

 Our bereavement kits include a little hat for the baby.  Our little girl kits also include a headband.  Both of these are easy to make and are great no-sew ways to get involved.   Our hats are made out of 1", 2", 3", and 4" medical stockinette.  We connect them at the top with a clear hair tie to create the "pom-pom."  We then add a ribbon or other embellishments to the hats. Click HERE for the folder with instructions and downloadable PDFs in Google Drive. Our headbands are made out of different-sized microfiber tights or thin, soft elastic.   We cut the legs of the tights into 2" loops and give them a good stretch so the edges roll.   If you are using elastic, cut the elastic into 4.5", 6.5", or 8.5" strips.  Hot glue the ends of the elastic together.   Embellish the headbands with bows, flowers, jewels, buttons, etc...  Keep in mind that less is more.   Remember that these parents will only be dres...
