new fabric . . . boys . . . some towels

Well, hello again.  It seems like the norm will be about one post a month.  I really desire to post more often, it just doesn't happen!  So, I bought some new fabric.  Shocker.  



These last two pictures are fabrics from Hobby Lobby.  LOVE.  Great for my big girl!

And here are a bunch of boy project photos I've been saving up . . .

I did a few shirts for Ethan . . . son of a customer . . .

And I did a few projects for Ethan . . . my nephew . . .

We had specific pants to match, but I don't have photos of them.  Those were all garanimals shirts.  This one was not . . .

This design was an etsy find that someone asked me to recreate . . .

A jonjon for Cooper in the making . . .

Only Cooper's grandmother had sewn it together wrong, so we had to start over! . . .

We decided to add initials . . .

A great way to dress up a basic . . .

And you even get one girl shirt in the post because it was a coordinating brother/sister combo . . .

Love this for older boys or even a mini filled embroidery design on a polo is precious! . . .

And a few simple towels for a customer for gifts . . .

Hopefully, I'll be back soon with all the Christmas stuff I've done!

new fabric

SO have a problem.

I went to the new local fabric store to buy two, yes TWO, pieces of ribbon ricrac trim and left with all of the above cuts of fabric in addition. Notice, I did buy one "boy" fabric. I could've bought about 5 or 6 others, but then, that would've been really ridiculous. I have to pace myself. In my defense though, I bought several of these with specific projects in mind for my girls. I know I will use them all. Cute, huh?!

new year. new babies. new fabric.

So, it seems like it's been awhile since I've had a lot of orders for baby gifts, but apparently, the new year is a time for showers. I've done several burp cloths lately.



I love this little fancier girly one I did. Except for that it is off-center. And I'm a perfectionist. Even if it is just for a baby to throw up all over. I'm having trouble in my 4x4 hoop because the design usually can't be moved around at all because it maxes out the space. I think my needle may be off-center because no matter how much I work to get the item centered in the hoop, it is always off. I need to get it checked out.

A few pairs of bloomers for a third girl in the family of one of Evynne's friend's.

And I hit Thimbles today for 2 spools of thread and 2 fabrics. This is what I got in addition to my list . . .

I've said it time and time again. I have a problem.

Is anyone else loving this fabric as much as me?! . . .

How precious would this be for a skirt or capris with a turquoise shirt for the spring/summer?! I love you Fabric Finders Fabric.

new fabric and some boy shirts

I went to Hobby Lobby and Thimbles a couple of weeks ago. We all know what that means. New fabrics . . .

These are the ones I found at Hobby Lobby . . .

And these at Thimbles. The first three from the left are fabrics I bought specifically trying to match the apple monag dresses I bought for my girls. Evynne liked the one on the far left and the floral the best and to match the pink of the tights I have, I went with the far left. {However, I ADORE the floral so I think I'll buy apple shirts or dresses again in the spring so I can use it!} I'll be posting those pics soon!

And I've done a few boy things recently . . .

I really like this plaid . . .

And I thought this fringe lion I just bought from Applique for Kids turned out SO cute . . .



Let's not leave out the nephew. This is an old white shirt that my sister wants to put under a navy sweater so we just gave it a little personality :)

felt, fabric, and a few baby gifts

As promised, I am trying out felt clippies. First I needed some felt. Apparently, there are different types of felt, which I know nothing about. So, I bought this array of choices for a starting point . . .

I didn't get the right size clip so these aren't finished, but this was my first effort . . .

LOTS more options I want to try! {When I find the time.}In order to buy some felt, I had to go to JoAnn's and Hancocks. Which meant I also found a few fabrics to add to my collection. I really liked these that I found for boys . . .

Cute boy fabric is SO much harder to find so I was really excited about these! I also found a few that are more girly . . .

And after wasting spending so much time running errands, I managed to squeeze in a few baby gifts. This first bib and burp set is for a friend who had a sweet little boy 3 weeks ago and named him Sam. I couldn't resist a Dr. Seuss theme, though it's not my usual style . . .

And this little romper is for a friend due with her first little girl next month {she already has two boys!} . . .

I just can't get enough of this sweet girl fabric . . .
