I love orders from past customers!

Here are a few things I made for a past customer. She was hosting a baby shower for a friend today. I hope they were a big hit!

Another Baby Shower!

I have another baby shower to go to next weekend. It is number two and another girl, so I thought I would make some things she could use. I will probably buy some diapers and wipes to go with it.

Two bibs and binky clips with her name on them.


Diaper and Wipes Case and 2 burp cloths.

Baby Jackson is here!

My cousin is the proud new Papa to a beautiful baby boy. They will have a baby shower in a few weeks, as the Momma wanted to wait until he was born. So I've been a busy little seamstress getting my gift ready. I made a diaper and wipes case, binky clips, burp cloths and a nursing cover. My cousin is a firefighter, loves to hunt and his wife loves camo as well.

Christmas Gifts #3 (finally finished!)

What a sense of accomplishment I feel right now! I just finished sewing my last Christmas gift. I have been so busy sewing. Here are a few pictures of all of the things I have made.

I finished making the clutch purses for everyone.
Denim with brown, white and blue.


The inside! Complete with 2 credit card pockets!


Denim with brown and pink.


The inside! Love it!


And the first one I made with better pictures!




Now this I made using a pattern from Sew News magazine. It is essentially a garment bag with pockets. Its purpose??? A wrapping paper organizer! My mom saw this in the magazine and mentioned she might like one. So I decided to try it out. It was frustrating at first, but I'm really happy I figured it out and I think it looks great!


It zips open for more storage inside.


And I wanted to see what it would look like filled up. I kind of wish the pockets were bigger. I feel like the picture in the magazine had more room. Oh well, I think it will work great!


I also finished up with my nieces. I made them a bunch of head bands. The middle one, loves head bands, and the oldest is growing out her bangs. So I thought these would be great to help with that.

Chirstmas Gifts #2

I decided to make these for my Mom and Mother-in-Law for their reading glasses. This is the first time I have attempted something with a lining. I think they turned out okay for my first go around. I used this tutorial. However, I didn't finish it the way she did. I left my opening in the bottom of my lining, instead of around the top. It took me a little while to figure out and I even had to take one apart and start over! But now I know for next time.

I have been very busy the past 2 weeks!

First off, I received a special order. I whipped these up yesterday. I already had the fabric cut out, so it didn't take very long. I will have to ship these tomorrow.


Last weekend, I started this little project for Christmas presents. My nieces love to play dress up, they love frilly things and they love pink and purple. I used this tutorial. They were super easy and only took about a half hour each from cutting to tying. I used about 3 rolls of pink and 3 rolls of purple tulle.

Katie and Karlee's skirts
(Gotta love accentuating my thighs!)


I have also been working on this gift for Kelsy for the past 3 weekends. I was told she could really use some new bibs, burp cloths and her binky clip I made was looking pretty ratty the last time I saw her. Plus, she is always wearing the same one. A girl has to accessorize you know?

So here are 6 bibs with matching binky clips and burp cloths.

Navy and Red

Black and Hot Pink

Pink Flowers


Pink and Brown Dot


Pink and White


Hot Pink


Target had towels for $1.49 on Black Friday, so I picked up a few for gifts. I decided to make the girls personalized towels as another Christmas gift. I made them all the same, so no one would get upset about what color their name was in!


Up next, I'm working on a wrapping paper holder from Sew News magazine. My mom saw it and really wanted one. I am also making clutches for all the adult women I need a gift for. I'm also making the girls headbands. So stay tuned for more next week!

Another Etsy Order!

I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email stating I had an Etsy sale today! One of my binky clips sold and she wanted a bib. So I made the bib to match the binky clip. They turned out Super Cute!!!
