Baby Bird Mobile

I have been working on a whole nursery bed set for my God-daughter (Who was 2 weeks early and born Wednesday!)So I had to quickly finish the Mobile. I made these little birdies with a pattern from One yard Wonders. I think it turned out really cute. Now I just have to figure out a way to hang it. More pictures of the nursery to come!!

Christie's Purse

Here is the pictures of Christie's bag we made. The pattern was out of the One Yard Wonder Book. It was pretty tricky for Christie's first purse but it was Flawless!






Christie did such a great job. It took us a while (4 hours) but she has sewing stamina just like me so we finished it in one night! She took these photos with her amazing camera taking abilities... like I said before she is very talented... she wears lots of hats very well!

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!

Grasshopper changing pad, diaper case and toys

I made the cutest little diaper case and pad out of this fun grasshopper fabric for a friends baby shower gift. She is having a boy but I thought this would be perfect for gender neutral.



The case is fully lined and is perfect to take to church or on a quick outing to pack a couple of diapers and a wipes case.


I made this pad to go with it! I used my new sewing machine to make a cool stitch along the edge. I love it!


I also made these cute little tag toys. The triangle has a chip bag inside so it make a krinkle noise. The cube has a little rattle I made with a container and so rice. I think they will be perfect with little hands. I made up the patterns for both of these toys.

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!

Purse and Trash bag



This picture isn't the best of the projects but I helped my Freaking Best Friend Opal make a new purse. I made a trash bag for my car. They were such fun projects. The patterns we used were out of the One yard Wonder book.

Frogger Baby Set

Then later this week I am going to a baby shower for someone I work with. She is having a boy. I recently bought a book called "One Yard Wonders" and I made all of this with one yard of fabric. Cheap fabric too! I thought the frogs we so cute and fun! I made a tag/tactile blanket, a bib, a pair of booties, 4 burp cloths and 4 "wee wee wigwams" (tutorial on Make it of Love it!) and then appliqued my favorite froggie on a onesie! Not bad for a yard of fabric!



Camo Baby Set

I thought this fabric was appropriate because my friend Ashley's husband is in the miltary! I made 1 tag blanket, 2 bibs (one blank and one says "future Hero") three burp cloths and 4 "wee wee wigwams" *tutorial by Make it and Love it*


Dino

I made this Dinosaur! It was so adorable I almost couldn't part with it! I got the pattern is from the one yard wonders book




This is the bottom of the dino. It was so cute and could stand on its own!
