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!

2 Liter Bottle Baby Shower Gift :)

I made a 20oz bottle into a little gift card holder a couple of months ago and had been wanting to do a 2 liter bottle and finally got the chance for my Aunt's baby shower this past weekend.  Unfortunately I have been SO busy that I really only had about 45 minutes to get this together so it is "plain" but it did turn out cute.

Here it is:

I used some pink and purple paper which I wrapped around it (I took the label off and cut a hole like I did with the 20oz and how it was explained in the message board where my girlfriend first found this idea).  I then added some ribbon that says OH BABY and ITS A GIRL around the top and bottom (I hot glued the ribbon).  I then added some stickers that I had on hand and I made a gift card holder (using Cricut CraftRoom and the Art Philosophy cartridge) which I stamped with the cutest sentiment from My Creative Time's Many Greetings set, then I put a Target gift card in and stuck on the side of the bottle as well :)  I put some socks, wash clothes, and small baby toiletry in the bottle.  I added a ribbon bow to the lid and a baby rattle that looks like a diamond ring.  Too cute, right!  That is my new baby girl go to gift, that rattle is just too cute (I also got a purse one but it did not fit so I just gave it to her, LOL.  I cannot wait to make one of these when I more time to plan it out and cut out some cute decorations for the bottle, but I am glad I had those stickers on hard and it feels good to use "old" stuff just sitting in my stash!  TFL.

Have a craft day!

Baby Baby Baby!

A young lady in my office is due to have a baby later this month so we planned a surprise shower for her.  I made a banner, a card, a Mommy to Be button, a diaper tricycle and some party favors (party favors and diaper tricyle are thanks to my good friend Stephannie (http://www.born2beach.blogspot.com/).  I really enjoyed making everything, especially since it was girly :)  I used Sugar and Spice for the banner (except the triangles, I used lyrical letters and cut off the tag piece) and for the card.  Stephannie cut the pillow boxes (minus the bunny) from her Easter cart and she made the little It's a girl sentiments on the computer!  The Mommy to Be was very surprised by the shower and LOVED everything!  Success!  Can't wait to do another one, I hope someone I know has a boys soon, I would love to do some blue stuff!  (sorry some of the pics are not great, I forgot to take a good picture of the banner and the lighting is off in some of the others). TFL.
