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?

Simple but fun sewing project

My husband and I exchanged anniversary gifts a few weeks ago (early) but I wanted to give him something on our anniversary, so I made him a very simple wallet with some Riley Blake Jeep fabric I had in my stash since he loves ALL things Jeep. 

This tutorial was featured in Made Everyday with Dana’s new look book for her new fabric line Day Trip, which I love and certainly will have to buy some of.  As soon as I drooled over the look book I immediately saved the link to this cute tutorial by Alissa Jacobs which can be found here http://quiltish.blogspot.com/2010/05/tutorial-fathers-day-mens-wallet.html   

So when you get a chance, take a look at Dana’s look book https://issuu.com/artgalleryfab/docs/day_trip_by_dana_willard .  You too will fall in LOVE with the fabric.  Also stop by her site, http://www.madeeveryday.com/ she has some great patterns and tutorials.  I have purchased a few and love them!

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!
