More Jeep sewing, why not!

The first two weeks of June were a blur!  Life was so busy with work, family and kid activities but I had to squeeze a Father’s Day gift for my husband in there and of course it had to be Jeep related :-). I’d been wanting to try the Zepplin pouch from Sara at Sew Sweetness. It’s part of the minikins collection and I’m trying to make my way through all of them. This was perfect. My husband needed a toiletry bag and we were headed out of town for baseball all that same weekend so the gift would be useful as well!   I had this fabric in my stash but didnt’t have a good coordinating lining fabric so I had to use some flannel I had but it actually worked out well.

This is a pretty easy sew, no drop in lining which is great for me. I’m an impatient sewer/crafter so the quicker the better!

Here it is (I bought this funny glass at the Dollar Tree and I paired it with a mix and match six pack of beer along with the Zepplin pouch).

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby dresses-melt my heart!

I’m obsessed with all things mini so of course when I found out a co-worker was having a baby girl I immediately thought mini dresses!  I did a search online and found a simple pattern from See Kate Sew and knew it’d be perfect!   The pattern is for 3-6 months so I actually reduced to size on my printer as I was looking more for newborn to 3 months.

I had recently visited a local fabric store and purchased some adorable fabrics so I knew I already had enough to get three dresses done. Unfortunately I did not have time for 3 matching diaper covers. I did get one done. In my opinion it is the cutest of cute. Just adorable!

Who doesn’t love tacos???  I mean are you kidding me!  This fabric is from Dana Willard for Art Gallery Fabrics and is in her new Day Trip line. I absolutely love it! I used Dana’s pattern for the diaper cover!

This one I made less gathered and of course is a ladybug theme from some fabric I had on hand from Joann Fabrics. 

This little popsicle fabric is adorable as well!  I picked this up along with the taco fabric at a cute fabric store in Hyattsville, MD called Three Little Birds Sewing Company!

I can’t wait to see the adorable baby girl in one (or all) of these dresses!

Do you sew baby gifts?
