Baby goodies!

Car seat cover/tent, whatever one is supposed to call it! Please excuse the child and the dog, they wanted in on the photo shoot! Velcro tabs go around the handle for easy removal and carrying.
Baby gets to look at airplanes on his side. Quilted changing pad- Cabo thinks it belongs to him.
Changing pad on reverse, folds up nicely and ties to fit in a diaper bag.

Reversible bibs, just right for little boys who like to ooze! I have a whole stack of these in the works, need to get a move on! I think I will make the next bunch a little larger, and then find some fun wipe-able fabrics for when baby starts on solids.

My new diaper bag, made from yes, and old t-shirt and some bright scraps! I was kind of impatient and didn't feel like making a trip to the fabric store, but I think it turned out fabulously! 4 pockets on the outside, two on the inside. Soft structure, with a padded strap.


Burp rags, made with prefolds and whichever fabrics caught my eye at the moment. I've never realized just how difficult it is to find some fun boy-appropriate fabric that's not covered with critters or sports related.

So, it's not quite as fun to sew for little boys, what with the lack of ruffles and lace and all that good stuff, but I'm managing!

Sailing away......

Shocking, I know, I made a BOY outfit! It's just not quite as much fun to sew without all the frilly extra's, but the embroidered seersucker and anchor buttons helped make up for that. Little miss loves her sailor outfit (separate tank and tiered twirl skirt), we just need to find somewhere appropriate to wear it to! If anyone is interested, I can do customs in the same fabrics/patterns. Email me for pricing info.

Sibling shirts!

Custom orders available for sibling shirts. $18 each, or two for $32, three for $45, etc. Other colors/styles available.

Spring has sprung!

Okay, well, there is still snow on the ground. But it was 65 degrees yesterday! I was inspired, and decided our house needed some lovin'......in the form of spring crafts.

A wreath for the front door is a given. My lovely husband confessed that he might have thrown away my hook on the front door, so you get to see my wreath in all its glory on the kitchen table. I might make a similar one for the kitchen, it's too kitschy to go in the rest of the house.

The mirror in the front hall needed some cheering up, so a new welcome sign, bird house, and teeny tiny wreath were painted, decoupaged, glued, and beribboned. These were all super cheap, not more than $5 worth of supplies. They will be joined later by more easter themed decor, but I will probably wait until later this week to get started on that.

Fresh new lunch bag

Miss Audrey was carrying a sad, tattered princess lunch bag to school every day. It even had a hole in it. So, I get to work, break out the sewing machine and whip her up a new one. It's just cotton on the outside, thermal batting on the inside, and lined with nylon. I'd like to switch out the lining for something a little heavier and more wipeable, so I don't have to wash the whole thing all that often. But the nylon was what I had on hand, and it will do for now.

I did two buttons with loops instead of velcro, as velcro doesn't seem to hold closed when her lunch bag is heavy. Added her name, and a little handle. Miss Audrey was excited to use it this morning!
