Fabulous Reversible Fabric Bowls

So I'm obsessed with 2 things lately. Baby stuff and fabric stuff. I'm breaking from the load of baby posting lately to bring you a fabric post. I've been a fan of Joel Dewberry's fabrics ever since I discovered them (and I met him at the Surtex show last year--oh yeah, that's right). And I love hand made bowls of paper, lace, fabric, melted plastic, whatever. So naturally I love these!
And guess what! There are instructions! Click here to get 'em. I'd better add this to my ever growing list of things to make! Pin It

Soon I Will Make...

...this baby dress. Thank you Halle Berry for the inspiration.
Mine will be made with this fabric though, same fabric different color. Anna Maria Horner's Drawing Room fabric--it's a home decor fabric with a cotton sateen finish. I think it might also make a lovely pillow for my new Pottery Barn Dream Rocker (via KSL Classifieds). It came with a sage green slipcover, but I plan to dye it chocolate brown.
Actually maybe that fabric won't go with brown... but I'll find somewhere else to use it. Maybe frame a piece and make it art for the nursery. It might look something like this:

Upcycled T-shirt Skirt

I love upcycled things. I love making something new and great out of something old. Here's a tutorial on how to turn a men's shirt into a lil' girls skirt. I hope it looks cute in real life too.Click here for the link. Pin It

More Bibs and Burpies

Here are a few more of the bibs and burp cloths I've made for my friend L. After making these for her, I've decided to make some for my own coming baby too, using leftover fabrics from previous projects. So one of these days, there will be even more to see!

These first 2 are chenille backed. It's kind of a ribbed terrycloth, if you aren't familiar. Very functional. This one has a brown and tan polka-dot corduroy back. The slight angle of the photo makes it look a little skewampus, but it's really not. It's symmetrical.

I Must Learn to Make:

I need to learn how to make onesies so I can make cute stuff like this. Check out ittikid for more super cute stuff! Like these absolutely adorable tights and this petal skirt.
Another site with some fun onesies (upcycled from t-shirts) is The Jump Off on Etsy. I'd love to recycle some of Ryan's shirts into onesies (especially if I was having a boy). Anyone know where I can find a good tutorial? Maybe I can just figure it out. I suppose I would need a surger anyway... Pin It

Bibs, Binkies, and Onesies

Here's what I've been up to lately. Making some bibs for my friend L for her little Murphy to wear. She picked some darling fabrics (more to come later this week). This one has little cowboys and lassoes, with brown courderoy on the back side. This one is also a little narrower than the others because of the way the fabric shrunk, but still wide enough.
I also made a couple binkie clips for my baby. I only have pictures of this one so far. I used suspender clips from the fabric store and Stampin' Up's Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, with a velcro closure.And one more applique onesie. For this flower I used the Sizzix Bigshot die cutting machine to cut it out, which took about 3 seconds. Gotta love that.

Ruffle Onesie

Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to be making some of these. Doesn't look too comfy for sitting, but real cute for the crawling stage, right? I see some great possibilities. Go to this site for the tutorial.
