Little Mermaid & Care Bear Toddler Pillowcases

Leila loves the Little Mermaid (and Nemo) - Ariel beats out Nemo because of the music. We love to start singing Ah Ah AH, Ah Ah AH, and let her start singing her favorite part of her "Part of Your World" song.

I had noticed that she had a very flat toddler pillow with an old boring pillowcase on it awhile ago. I purchased a nice new toddler pillow and made 2 pillowcases for her to use. I appliqued Ariel (purchased from Etsy seller) onto a piece of fabric I had leftover from her bedding and found some Care Bear fabric that I still had on hand from one of the girl's blankets when they were little. (Leila loves her Care Bears too).

I think the new pillow and her pillowcases are a hit!

Bibs Bibs Bibs

As many of you know, I have a mental block when it comes to things for boys. I can't help it -- we have girls! So I've been working on a few bibs specifically for those precious little boys. One of these days I'll work on coveralls for them.
For now, here's what's new on the boy front.

What can I say? All of you are having boys!

Kate's little A-line Reversible Dress

Thought I'd better get out here with some new pictures of things I've been working on. I wouldn't want anyone to think that I'm not doing anything this summer. LOL

I just finished a dress for little Kate. Her mom wanted a reversible A-line dress that would be suitable to wear with or without a top underneath. She picked out her fabric, beautiful Michael Miller prints, and had them sent to me from another Etsy store.

Since I can never just make a simple dress, I had to use a few of the scraps to make a fabric flower pin that adds that extra something to a simple, cute, dress.

Fun, fun, fun!

Kelsey and me

It has been quite awhile since I've posted out here (once again). Never enough time in the day and my least favorite thing to do is write!
Anyway, I spent a few days with my niece this summer. She was interested in sewing so we decided on 2 relatively simple projects: pillowcase and heart pillow
She learned how to thread and operate my embroidery machine, and regular machine, as well as choosing and co-ordinating fabrics.
We had a fun time together and found our own rythmn.
A good team! Right Kelss?
