Inspiration for Lily Kate

Remember my little birdie coffee cozy that I have been swooning over??  Here is the onesie that it was designed to match!  I was hoping to have a cute little collage to showcase different views of this lovely, BUT Photobucket is NOT cooperating this evening.

   

Bear with me…. here is my make shift collage! 

 

 

I accented the embroidery with mini pom pom fringe in pink.  I fell in love with this little bird from Alexander Henry’s Starling Line and knew he would be ab.so.lute.ly perfect as the focal point for this design.

The burp cloth uses another coordinating bird from the same fabric.  I changed it up a bit and embroidered it horizontally instead of vertically.

The diaper bag is designed, embroidered, and cut out….  I just have to finish sewing it together!  I have thoroughly enjoyed this project (really and truly).  I sincerely hope (with all my heart) that Lily Kate’s mummy likes it as much as I enjoyed creating it. :-)

I’m partying with this project HERE!!

Gift Bag From a Cereal Box

I seriously got a wild and crazy whim this weekend…  This is a cereal box in disguise as a gift bag!  I cut everything off except for the front, back, and one of the sides.  It was the perfect size for the onesie and burp cloth while continuing with the “upcycled” theme of the gift.

Gift COMPLETE!! :)  Off to work on my next order…

I’m partying with a few of these lovely ladies today.

Sweet Baby Girls

 

There are so many sweet baby girls being born lately it seems.  I really love designing and creating girly things.  I still lean towards simplicity with my girl things as well…

For the burp cloths, I repurposed a vintage bedspread (just like I did with Sage’s Goodies) on the first and utilized a traditional cloth diaper with the baby’s monogram for the second.  The reversible bag is large enough for a couple of diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes.  It has Ryan’s name on one side and her monogram on the other.

My FAVORITE part of this gift is the onesie! 

It has a reverse appliqué pink heart with a green “R” to represent.  It actually turned out exactly how I had it planned in my head (which doesn’t always happen, btw).  Now, I want something for myself with a reverse appliqué heart… seriously!

Baby Shower for Emma Renee

 

Saturday was little Emma Renee’s baby shower!!  I decided that I wasn’t going to take the easy way out and run to Babies R Us this go around.  Half way into it though, I was rethinking my decision!!  :)  Here is a little diaper bag for Emma made with blue and black and white damask…. Emma’s nursery colors.

Here is the inside of the diaper bag.  It has 2 pockets on one side for wipes and diapers and 3 pockets on the other side for bottles, binkies, or whatever!

I also made a fleur de lis onesie and bib so Emma can represent her roots! 

A black and white damask burpcloth accented with black velvet ribbon, blue/turquoise ric rac, and a fancy “E” rounds out the gift. 

Even though I ran out of time, I enjoyed designing and making all these dainty pretties for such a special baby.  I can’t wait to meet her when she makes her debut…. maybe I will even complete her blanket before then!

Michelle's Hutch

A dear friend and wonderful neighbor, Michelle, was looking for a new home for her grandmother's hutch. It was a close race between myself and Sew Poshy. She graciously allowed me to purchase this beautiful addition to my studio! I am so thankful to Michelle and Karri.

This hutch is definitely exactly what I needed to organize Liberty Original. Don't my dressforms look beautiful displayed on the top?! Now, everytime I walk into this room, I get a warm and fuzzy happy feeling. I have been so much more productive as well. Woot woot... doing a happy dance... thankfully nobody is watching me!

Baby Lucy Ann's goodies are complete. I know she will keep warm in this blanket made from Art Gallery Fabric's girly girl line. Her monogram and birthday accent the middle of this blankie.

Here is a close up view of Lucy's flower appliqued onesie and her burp cloth appliqued with pink minkee. I added three little tags made from ribbon and ric rac for her to play with as she gets a wee bit bigger.

Here is a sneak peek of my next project already in progress. It is for a very special little girl!! (aren't all little girls special, though!)

A Week of Sewing

So, I know it has been a while since my last blog post. BUT, I have been busy... really I have! I am still behind on my orders, so minimal chit chat today:)

Monogrammed purse applique t-shirt... Didn't this turn out super cute?! I can't wait to see it on little Miss Haylee Brooke. Speaking of Miss Haylee Brooke....

Here she is sporting her Liberty Original at the soccer fields on LSU game day. Since she is so cute, we will let her get away with rooting against the Bulldogs, just this once though.

A birthday present for one of Emily's friends.

A birthday present for one of Jack's friends.

A baby present for baby Naomi!!

Onesie for baby Dash (Naomi's twin brother).

Dash needs a bib, too!!

I will chat more next post!! Thanks for understanding!! Muah.

Busy, Busy, Busy

These cute appliqued onesies are baby gifts for two of my mom's friends. I hope they like them! I have wanted to try my hand at making pacifier clips. So, I made matching clips for these onesies as a little something extra for the moms-to-be. Covered buttons are so much fun to work with!! If you like the "A" design, click here or if you like the "B" design, click here to take a looksie where I purchased them.


















I made my sister a coffee cozy out of suede sherpa!! I am super excited about this! I am going to make them for everyone I know... it was super easy to do and it's super cute to boot.


For those of you still waiting on your Liberty Original, I am working feverishly to get everything finished. I promise that the wait will be worth it. :) Thank you all so much!
