Hey guy's! I meant to post this on March 27th...but pure laziness got the best of me! The rain slapping against the window panes, beckoned me with the call of naptime, and I, we obliged. Rain and sleep you just can't beat it!
Sean, was invited to a birthday party...fun! Here's some pics of him at the party. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. That's his bestie, Lil' Derrick, sitting next to him.
So, what for a gift...??? Do add to the masses of toys she'll accumulate...or do I do something original? Will it come off cheesy and cheap...hmmmm. I decided to go with a personalized gift...not because of cost, but because people love them, and I love making them. Win win, right?
I used my bias tape maker for the very first time, well worth it! It's amazing, perfect bias binding is just cranked out in no time flat, no more burnt fingers. By the way, bias tape is the white trim around the bottom of the bloomers.
The Mom called me later on that evening to say she loved the gift! AWESOME!
And, I've once again I had the honor of fulfilling gift requests! And here are the gifts I crafted.
3 burp cloths. I love, love embellishing burp cloths!
I was given this fabric with the request of creating a boppy cover.
The boppy cover!
The contrasting back of the boppy cover.
And with fabric leftover, I couldn't resist making additional gifts....
The Collegiate font I used to embroider the name was a complete pain! It took a lot of
thread, and so much fabric showed through. So I stitched over the name again to get fuller coverage...
it's all good now, but further testing is definitely needed!
I embellished the back with my latest purchase.
All neatly folded and simply tied with a ribbon, ready for the mommie-to-be!
The future holds more baby gifts....much fun sewing ahead! Until later....LOVE, PEACE & SEW!!!
