...of super cute stuff for the pet in your life! a good friend of mine suggested i branch out...so i did, and i made her a cute "on the go" tote and shirt for her new dog.
these boards can be used for lots of different things. i made these for some sweet little girls who have attached movie tickets, pictures of friends, drawings, etc. they can also be used to hold hair bows and clips. they can be covered with any type of fabric and coordinating ribbon.
i made this for a sweet little boy who was turning 5. i had no idea what to make because a name shirt might not be cool at 5. so i asked him what his favorite nascar driver's number was (since i knew he was a nascar fan) and i just put the numbers on a shirt for him. he loved it! i used a textured fabric for the numbers to make it a little more unique.
i made this for someone who had a baby girl but didn't want a super "girly" blanket. the pale yellow minky fabric has a rose pattern so it's girly, but very neutral.
a friend of mine who recently had a baby got a cover like this online. she got hers on babysteals for a discount, but when i went looking, i found that they retail for $45-$90! there's NO way i'd ever pay that much for a car seat cover! so, i decided to make my own. i have made them several different ways. some have flaps, some don't. some have velcro, some have snaps. just depends on what you like. these covers will keep germs away from your precious little one since people won't be able to touch baby. they will also keep baby warm through the cold months. no more throwing a blanket over your baby!
i made this shirt for my sweet niece who turned 4 a few weeks ago. i took two coordinating fabrics and spelled out "birthday girl" and then appliqued the letters to the shirt. once washed, the letters fray and look super cute!
i love this blanket because it has kind of a vintage-y look to it. it's made out of a super soft velvet/minky like material...hard to describe. orange and hot pink, beautiful fabrics, but a nightmare to work with! i love the way it turned out but i will most likely never work with this type of fabric again. i used ribbon for the trim of this blanket and i really like the look of that as well. so, here's a one of a kind, i guess :)
i couldn't resist. i found the cutest flannel fabric with little birdies on it and i had to make something for my 3rd little byrdie! this is the same blanket as gavin's (two posts down), except that i used rick rack for the border of this one. these blankets measure approx. 38"x38" and are made of soft, cuddly flannel fabrics, perfect for the fall and winter! instead of doing her name and birthday, i just did her name and added a little bird embroidery to match the bird fabric on the other side.
