toddler dress – reversible
I made this dress with a matching hat for my niece for Christmas. I got the pattern from Making Children’s Clothes: 25 Stylish Step-by-step Sewing Projects for 0-5 Years.
christmas window boxes
I transformed my fall window boxes into christmas window boxes by removing the cattails and greens and added the leftovers that we cut off of our christmas tree. I also added some winterberry I found in the marsh behind our house.
christmas handprint ornament
I bought a kit online to make a handprint ornament. I paid way to much for what I got. I got a tip from a friend that they sell better material at art stores for a fraction of the price…. next year….
reversible mother/daughter aprons
I made these aprons as Christmas gifts for Tonnie and Hazel (3 years old). I love this apple fabric, it just makes me smile.
owl apron
It all started with an patchwork owl that I found online. I immediately thought of my sister-in-law and her sorority mascot is an owl. For her birthday I first made the owl then quickly realized I had no idea what I was going to do with it. With her help (she loved the owl btw) we came up with the idea of making it a pocket on an apron with her sorority colors.
I think it came out pretty cute.
dress up hockey referee shirt
To say that my nephew loves hockey is an understatement. He especially loves to pretend he’s the ref so for Christmas this year I made him an “official” ref jersey. Unfortunately I couldn’t find black and white stripped fabric anywhere so I had to make it myself by sewing 2 inch stripes of fabric together. I closed it with velcro so he could easily put it on and off himself.
quilt-less quilt
This at first glance looks easy which in principal it should be but it wasn’t much fun to make. It’s not easy keeping the lines straight no matter what you do, glue, draw lines with a fabric marker. My girlfriend made this same quilt and she agreed so it’s not only me. But I LOVE the colors.
congrats gift box for baby
My new “you’re expecting” gift is bump stickers (to post about soon). I packaged them in a cute paper pocket book from paper source and decorated it with a paper diaper and an ink stamp.
sincerely yours, dena
