Ruffle Onesie

I made this ruffle onesie and color coordinated burpcloths for a baby shower last Saturday. I used a light pink terry cloth with all the burpcloths. I LOVED it with the yellow burp cloth fabric...I didn't want to give them away.

I didn't know how long to cut the fabric to be ruffled, which is why the center one is sooo long. I meant it to be longer than the side two, but I think next time I'll maybe make all of them a little shorter. Ame and Ash, couldn't one of you be having a girl so I could have an excuse to make more of these!?

The robe and the dress

I saw this towel robe on MADE and knew immediately that the kids had to have one for the lake this summer. Jamesy loves wearing his everywhere. Ian's is cut out and waiting to be sewn...


Here is the dress I made last month. I truly despise modeling clothing. Can you tell?

Hey guys I made a shirt

I have actually worn it several times already - it looks cute with a belt too. I also made a dress but I haven't taken any pictures in it. Seriously I am getting addicted to making clothes - it is fun. The modeling part...not so much (obviously).

Latest Projects

I fancied up this sweater a little. Remember that post about making old things new and fun (here is the tutorial for this sweater)? I think that is a good idea. I also learned how to make sweaters fit better from the grosgrain blog, have fixed two sweaters and wear them all the time now.

This project has been sitting in my closet for about 9 months (the board that is). Ian and James kept fighting over who would conduct family home evening so I decided it was time to do it. I cut out the vinyl lettering on my cricut. If anyone is interested in making one I am happy to cut some out for them.

Also, I did my first project out of the One Yard Wonders book I got from ashley for Christmas. It was surprisingly easy and fun.



I've been working on Ian and James Valentines cards but you will have to wait for that. Lets just say I am pretty excited about how they turned out.

Grosgrain

Since I got a new sewing machine for Christmas I have been thinking about what my first projects of the new year will be. One of my goals is to learn to sew some clothing - and I found this blog called Grosgrain and love it. Her things are all very anthropologie inspired and she refashions a lot of old things and makes them new. It is now in the side bar (check out the button on the side of her blog that says "embellish your knits month").




Not to mention a tutorial on how to make felt balls. Finally.

Cute easy pillow.

Tutorial.

Baby Quilt

Here is the adorable baby blanket I sent out months ago. I'm going to make it some day when I work up the courage to actually do a quilt. I can't really post a link to the pdf so if you want it just email me.

Three things

1. If we made these for family reunion I might actually be excited about going.

2. Ashley - you have to make this dress for parker or I might be forced too (and for megs bebe too). Without the map of italy. Free pattern found here.

3. And for all you preggers out there - isn't this darling, even with a tee shirt underneath. Free tutorial here.

Camera/Phone case

Wish I had seen this tutorial before today. I totally need one of these for our Flip.

Toddler Backpacks

I am afraid these might be beyond my sewing skills but I still want to make them. You can buy the pattern online for $6.

Baby Tights

Ashley and Meg - have you seen this tutorial? So Cute.
