More sewing fun!

I have really enjoyed sewing over these last several months.  I have sew many simple things including dresses for my girls, skirts, pillow covers for my boys and a Jeep pillow for my hubby.  One of my most favorite items though is this cute little baby pillow case dress and diaper cover for a friend.  The pillow case dress is using a pattern I found online (versus just a stand rectangle) at Pretty Prudent Pillow Case Dress, then I used a pattern a found on a website I have visited SO much since I started sewing for the diaper cover.  It is Made Everyday by Dana diaper cover .

Today I was ready to mail the little outfit so I thought I would use my Cricut to make a cute quick card.  I have not done this in a while but it turned out cute even though I did not have a light pink paper for the face :)  I sure hope she loves it and her little girl looks adorable in it.  I wish I had started sewing many years ago when my girls were small!

Here is the outfit and card:

 

Here are some of the other projects I have made since I last posted :)

These are the dresses I made for the Father Daughter Dance that the girls attended with their stepdad :)

For Valentine's Day I made my hubby a jeep card with an image I bought online from Apex I believe.

I made the girls skirts and we cut out images to iron on their shirts from my Cricut and I cut out Emoji's to put in as a surprise note for their lunch :)

 

Easter T shirt dresses (I also made St. Patrick Days ones but no pictures for some reason)

Stars Wars fabric Easter basket for a friend's daughter :) Watched a video from The Crafty Gemini for this one.  LOVE her.

Used my Cricut to cut out some iron on for a onesie and did a quick two fabric with edging baby blanket for a co-workers babyshower

Made my Mady Moo a Mike Wazowski hooded towel for her birthday.  Was definitely he favorite gift which of course melted my heart.

Also made her a ladybug dress to wear for her Fairy Garden birthday party where we made individual fairy gardens :)

 

I made my hubby a cute little Jeep fabric pillow because he loves Jeeps and always steals my little pillow :)

I know this is a lot and is not everything I have created over these last 6+ months but just a snippet of what I have been up to craft wise :)  I am hoping with summer and less evening activities I can make some more stuff soon.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!

So much going on!

Wow, it is crazy how fast time goes :)  Well lets see I have been able to craft a bit since September but not a ton.  Once we moved my craftroom to the garage it has not left me a lot of chances to get out there because it is detached so it is COLD!  I did bring my sewing machine and Cricut inside to my small desk area in the kitchen.  Yes, I said sewing machine.  I bought it many many years ago and just started using it a couple of months ago.  I am addicted.  I am LOVING creating with it.  I thought I would just do a dump post of some sewing/crafting/anything projects I have done over the last few months :)

Thanksgiving:
I made some simple skirts for the girls, they wore leggings underneath.  I also used some leftover fabric and made a table runner.

Christmas:
I made a double layered Christmas skirt and then used my Cricut to cut out a Christmas tree.  I think my favorite part of this was that the girls LOVED them and my Mady was so proud to tell her teacher that her mom made her outfit for her.  So very sweet.

Teacher gifts:
I am working on some easy teacher gifts this year.  My DD's helped put them together (although I am sure I did most of it :)).  I ordered some little containers from 31 Gifts and put in hot chocolate, disposable cups, marshmallows, candy canes, candy and some chocolate spoons I made.  I love that the girls are old enough to help!  The girls also helped make Rudolph water bottles for their class party.

The boys are doing well but not willing to let me sew them much.  Ryan did let me sew a Thanksgiving patterned pocked on a tshirt of his but that was about it :)

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy crafting!
