Elodie the elephant

Are you ready for something absolutely precious!

Meet Elodie. She is an adorable elephant I made this weekend.


I love the ears! It can sit on its own. I made it with fleece so it is super soft!

When I finished the pattern I decided it needed a personal touch so I appliqued 2 little hearts then hand stitched around them. I put one on the chest and one on the bum!


Now I really need to make another one so I can keep it for myself!

Baby Bowties


I made up this pattern and made two of these on my lunch break! I love them and can't get enough. They take the smallest amount of fabric so its perfect for scraps. I sewed velcro to the strap and made it longer so it was more adjustable. I gave them to a friend for her baby shower but need to make more so my future bulldog Wendall can wear them!! cute!

Rose Jumper with shoes and headband

Another Baby shower gift... surprise surprise.




For my friend Sarah I picked out this vintage rose fabric and knew it would be a beautiful dress! This dress was a pattern from the "one yard wonders" It is a jumper for an 6 month old or a shirt for a toddler. Pretty neat!

I couldn't help but make some cute accessories to go with it




I made this headband as a smaller version of the ones i like to wear. It has elastic but you also tie it to give it a cute look. I made some fabric yo-yos and glued buttons on it to make it extra cute



These shoes were so so adorable. I designed the pattern myself and they tie around the back of the ankle. I am sad I didn't have a baby model! I hope they fit!

Diaper Cakes


I have made a TON of Diaper cakes. I made a whole blog for them since I sell them sometimes! Take a looksy.

Baby Shower

Mindy is having a baby girl!
Registered at Target

I used white felt, surged around the edge and then made slits so I could tuck in the ends and keep it closed. I bought plastic safety pins at the dollars store and hot glued them on!

Baby Comforter

I made this quilt for my Best Friend Mindy's baby Madison who will be born in May!

I appliqued the letters of the alphabet, then stitched around each letter. To quilt i stitched in the ditch of top. I love it. I used 2 inches of batting so it is very full and I used fleece so it is super soft.
