Minky/cotton bibs

Last weekend I decided to try out a bib pattern. I really like the way it turned out! I have to say, I'm a sucker for owls and minky! This was the perfect combo. It has a more sophisticated side with Michael Miller's Patti Paisley in watermelon, and a fun side with Robert Kaufman's Urban Zoology minky.

Be looking for these to hit my etsy shop this week!!

Christmas Gift Card Holders

I whipped this little guy up tonight. I thought with Christmas right around the corner this would come in handy!! You can fit gift cards, credit cards, frequent buyer cards, etc. in this little guy! So not only will it make a great unique gift card holder, it will also hold their other cards as well!!

Gerber applique onesie using my Slice

Several months back, one of the blogs I am following was doing a giveaway for a Slice Fabrique. {to check out this awesome little machine go here! She shows you how it works and what all you can do with it}. Anywho, so I never enter giveaways for the sheer fact that I NEVER win anything! When I saw this Slice giveaway I thought; what the hay, why not enter, it's not like I will win. Guess what happened...I WON!! Can you imagine my excitement when I received the winning email! No, probably not, but I will tell you that I interrupted my husband taking a shower to tell him what I had won and how excited I was! :) Funny thing though, I entered this giveaway only under the impression, hey this is a pretty cool little deal, I'll enter the drawing just for kicks. So I had NO idea how to use this little puppy. :/  What's a girl to do?...a little research! And that I did during the time it took to ship. So when it arrived I knew what to do!

This little guy girl, I'm not sure why I reference my slice in the male gender, so I've re-gendered it, is pretty awesome! You spread some white gel onto a piece of glass, lay your fabric onto it, make all your selections of what you want to cut on, your slice display; place it on your fabric, then press go. It does the rest! I love it and am so happy I won it! 
Disclaimer: I've been trying to win a Go Baby Fabric Cutter through various giveaways on the blogs I follow, and of course to no avail have I won. This just goes to show that when I want to win it doesn't happen, but when I don't care about winning it does. Weird, I know! Maybe I should change my attitude about the Go Baby....nah! :)

So today with my awesome "little girl", I cut out a flower in some Moda fabric I have and ironed it onto a Gerber onesie. Easy peasy, right! I know!  It is just silly how easy it is to make things with it. Here it is:

    Isn't it just CUTE!!! I plan to make more applique onesies and sell them in my etsy shop. {just waiting on a issue with the state revenue dept. so I can start listing things}

Feel free to leave me any thoughts or maybe a design idea ;) I'm open to suggestions as long as they're nice ones :)

Gerber Burp Cloths

Today I made some burp cloths for a friend, who has a friend, that just had a baby..did that make sense?..

Anyway, she said that she needed some with brown and pink and these are what I came up with.
I used Gerber cloth diapers (6ply). I sewed some with fabric down the center, some with fabric covering both sides (front and back), and one I added some ric rac too.
There is no real tutorial, they're that easy to make. I believe I cut pieces 6"x19" (with seam allowance) for center strips, and used 2 pieces 10.5"x19" for ones with sides covered.
Turn your hem under, iron, and pin down..lots of pins! The more pins, the less puckering you have; because the thickness of the center of the diaper will be tough to sew through.

Hope you enjoy looking!

Crayola Crayon Initial Wall Art

 How CUTE are these!!! I have to admit they are pretty tedious to make, but with a lot of love you can do it too! :)

I found these done by another blogger, but can't find the blog now, so I decided; Hey! I can make that too!

I have some progress pictures that I will upload later.

I used some frames that I found at family dollar on clearance for $1.70!! I spray painted them black and removed the glass.

The paper is white cardstock, (you will need a durable paper). I found the letter outlines on the internet. Just google "alphabet printables".

The crayons are glued down with super glue (I found that the gel kind works best because it is not absorbed by the paper) It is best to cut the crayons with a sharp box cutter. Be careful when cutting the crayons because it is possible to cut more off than you wanted. The best way I found was to score all the way around the crayon and then gently apply pressure to cut all the way through.

You will want to lay the crayons out on the letter first, then mark the ones that need cutting, before you do any gluing.
The ribbon I purchased at Wal-Mart. It has the alphabet with matching animals for the letters.

I hope this inspires you to go create some for someone you know! Any questions just ask! :) 

Reversible A-line dress

This weekend I had so much fun whipping up this CUTE little dress!! I will not begin to take credit for the "know-how" on this one, so go here for an awesome tutorial! Dianna does a great job of explaining each step! Here are a few pictures of the one I made.

On this side, I used Michael Miller Patti Paisley in Watermelon. It is such a fun and cute print. I love ADORE this fabric!

For this side, I used another Michael Miller print. This is Michael Miller Ta Dot in Berry. It is a very cute polka dot print and I think it coincides nicely with the paisley.

Such a fun and cute dress to make. I catch myself looking at it often...it's that cute ;)
