circle skirt baby gift

I am a terrible blogger, I haven't posted in 2 months! Life has been hectic, and I haven't been sewing as much as usual. I did a craft fair a few weeks ago and still have a ton of inventory to add to my shop!

I having been itching for a reason to make MADE's circle skirt for a while now and finally got the chance a few days ago! It was such a quick sew I made 2! And then I made a matching applique onesie to complete the outfit.

The "necklace" is just some tiny yellow rickrack sewn on and an applique patch on top. I added a little S for the special baby girl receiving the gift.

I can't believe it's Memorial day weekend already! 

My boys are almost out of school for the summer and we are busy trying to find a pool club to join so we don't spend too much time hanging around the house!

Have a great holiday weekend!

envelope clutch

When I saw that See Kate Sew was hosting an envelope clutch sew along I knew I wanted to participate! I love clutches.




This will be fun to carry around this spring. I found the clutch to be a bit flimsy, I didn't use heavy enough interfacing. To fix it I cut a piece of plastic canvas a bit smaller then the clutch and inserted it through the opening in the lining. Now it's perfect!




I originally wanted a bigger white button but my buttonhole foot didn't have a big enough setting. Luckily I had this cute little button in my stash.



This was an easy, quick and satisfying project! I may have to make another one!

sewing baby boy gifts is fun too

I had a baby shower to go to a couple of months ago for a friends baby boy. Sewing for boys can be just as fun as sewing for girls!

First off I made some applique onesies. These are so simple to make, you can google hundreds of tutorials and patterns for these. I always stitch my appliqués down after ironing them on.

I love making bibs. I used this tutorial for this adorable monster bib. How cute is this?

I also made a nursing cover, I used the tutorial found here, This is a super simple and very quick sew, its basically a rectangle with straps.

These are my 2 favorite baby boy gifts to give! My kids lived in these socks, I loved them so much!
And this airplane spoon is just way too cute.

 

My 4 year old lent me his thumb so we could make this cute dino card, we are having a lot fun with Ed Emberely's Fingerprint book!

I had also made some burp cloths but I can't seem to find the picture.

It's snowing in New York right now, I'm looking forward to a cozy weekend at home!

girly gifts

I made this dress for my beautiful goddaughter using Made by Rae's free Itty Bitty Dress Pattern.

It's my favorite little girl gift! I've made a bunch of there...here and here (the red one is my favorite!).

These headbands were so simple, glue, fabric, and a pack of crochet headbands. Nothing is cuter then a baby girl with a giant poof on her head! 

Happy New Year!

Merry Merry

I'll be back after the Holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

journaling

(left handed!)

My oldest started Kindergarten on Wednesday and my little guy started Pre-K today. I can't believe how quickly time has flown.!

I started journaling this week. I love the idea of having a  place to jot down memories. I follow the prompts from Lil Blue Boo (love her!)

I'm going to have fun with this!
