Daddy’s Dress Shirt Turned K’s Dress

I found this tutorial online for turning an adult sized dress shirt into a toddler dress for K.  Daddy was going through his closet of work clothes and I snagged this shirt, along with bunch of others to turn them into dresses for our little munchkin.  It still needs to be hemmed up some so she doesn’t trip on it, but it turned out so super cute!

Baby/Toddler Blanket

I found another amazing baby/toddler blanket pattern on the Bernat website, and I just fell in love with it.  This will be for a baby shower and definitely going into the Etsy store.

K’s new dress

I made this cute little dress for my little girl.  She loves this thing and refused to take it off.  I got the pattern online, but at the moment I can’t find the link or the email that the pattern was sent to me from.  I also have a friend back from my young school days (I feel so old) that is wanting me to make her 2 daughters and her 2 nieces each a dress just like this one for their yearly family pictures.

My New Purse

I got tired of looking for the “right” purse for me that had plenty of pockets, the right size, was something I could fall in love it…and when I did find something, it was so outrageously priced!  So I went on a search for pattern for a purse.  After I found it, it was on search for just the right fabric to make it.  Along with my pattern for the purse, came a pattern for coin purse, which I use as a coupon and business card clutch.  And I found a pattern for a keychain to match them all.

Baby Shower Gifts

I have a friend who had a bird/birdcage theme for her nursery and was trying to get all of the décor all hand made.  So I made her a tag blanket and 2 pillows.  Pictured below is both the front and the back side of the pillows.  I found out I hate working with Minky material.  Not only is a pain to keep from stretching while sewing, it is MESSY to cut.
