Matchy, Matchy

I am working on a few onesie orders and the most adorable baby quilt in my sewing studio today.  But since those are presents and orders that the special folks they are made for have not seen, then I cannot show them to you yet.  But I will share the order that I delivered this week.  It is for the same sweet lady who ordered the nursery set.  She wanted a couple of outfits made so the new baby boy would match his sister.  Too Cute!

First we have an adorable paisley elephant.  This is appliqued to a onesie to match his sister's top.

Here we have a pillowcase top made from an original pillowcase dress pattern bought from Foot Loose and Fancy Free on etsy.  I highly recommend her patterns, easy to follow and she was wonderful to work with!  Thank you so much Sandra for this wonderful pattern.  I have a cousin that is having a sweet baby girl soon and I can see a couple of pillowcase dresses in her future :)

Here they are together.  I think they look great!  I have to give all the fabric choice credits to the sweet mom-to-be!  What a great eye for color combos.  The elephant pattern is another great etsy find.  If you are interested in cute PDF outlines, check out Angel Lea Designs  I just love how great all etsy sellers are!

She also wanted a couple of tie onesies.  I love love love making these!  I think they are so cute and hilarious.  Since we don't know how big little man is going to be when he makes his apperance she asked me to do 2 with the same time pattern in 2 different sizes.  Too sweet.

Not to be left out I did a "pearl necklace" for the sister.  Now they have their choice of matching outfits to wear home from the hospital.  I love the way the pearls turned out, it was my first time doing this.  I think I will be using it again!

Here are the 2 tie onesies along with the pearl necklace shirt.  So sweet!

And here is the whole order all laid out and ready to be delivered!

Thanks for looking!

Chair Redo

I loved this chair when I spotted it in Goodwill.  I loved it even more when I saw it was $6.00 and already painted white.  I dragged it to the front of the store and paid the lady, shoved it in the car and knew what I wanted to happen to it.  And then it happened, you know life, and I never got around to the chair...

And there is sat, in the corner of my sewing studio until the ice storm came, and I had 2 days off from work and I remembered the chair that I wanted to redo so badly...

I absolutely love it and could kick myself for waiting so long to recover that cushion!

Baby Crib Set

I was thrilled when I was asked to make this set!  A friend of mine is having her first baby, a boy, and wanted a special crib set.  This was the first time I had ever made anything like this, and I think it turned out very well!

In the nursery.  Love love love it!!!

NC State Quilt

This Queen Sized NC State Quilt was an order I did for a college freshman who is a die hard fan!  His mom asked me to make this as a surprise for his birthday.  I went with a simple, more masculine pattern.  Wide strips to show off the fabrics.  I was very happy to find 2 different cotton NC State fabrics.

Here is the quilt laid out on my bed at home, which is a standard queen.

Here is the picture that his mom sent me when he opened it!  Love that smile! :)

 

Another Lanyard

Another lanyard for another friend.  I also hem a lot of pants for this friend :)

A Crutch Clutch

This was a little pocket that I made for a friend that hurt her ankle and had to be on crutches.  She called me with this idea of something that could hold the remote and a pencil.  So I got to work.  It turned out really cute and she liked it a lot.

I put some sewing supplies inside so that you could see how big it is and what it will hold.
