Oh Baby Baby!

One of my MANY hobbies is making baby items. Decorating onesies and shirts is super fun! This craft is a little different, but still in the baby area. I recently saw a post on how to make burp cloths and wipe cases. Both tutorials were super easy to follow. I absolutely love YouTube.
Once I saw this fabric, I knew I had to use it! It just screams SWEET Girl. I embroidered the fabric to add a more personal touch. Here is a gift I made for the upcoming birth of baby Paisley, Gabe, and Chris.

Here is a simple monogrammed shirt. First, iron heat and bond to your fabric. Next, cut the desired shape. I cut a circle with the Cricut machine. Iron the shape to your shirt. Then, choose and sew your monogram. Finally, sew around the shape. I used the zig-zag stitch and decreased the length. This is a quick and easy way to personalize and shirt. Have fun!

Love is in the air!

I had some time to practice embroidery with the sewing machine. I embroidered Kay's initials in this zebra print dress. The hair bow was made with some ribbon scraps and a heart shaped button.

This is a little valentine outfit for Kay. I sewed the heart, letter k, and bow onto a plain white t-shirt. The bow is made from valentine ribbon. I love the tulle skirt! That might be my next project.

This is another version of the same idea :)

Is It FEBRUARY Yet?

I wish it was February already! I'm super excited about these Valentine themed shirts for Kayden. This is my second and third shirt, here is the first one. The funny thing is that I have yet to make the one I saw online. That one was much cuter than my first one. I guess it will just have to be my inspiration.

On second thought, I'm glad that February is a few days away... I forgot about matching hair bows!
I hope you have a crafty weekend!
