Pattern Test for Little Lizard King

I saw this post on Little Lizard King, and jumped on it. I love making things for kids but haven't made to many things for my little guy. This was so fun. My son is on a Halloween/skeleton kick and Jo-ann's has their Halloween fabric on sale half off, so I found two I like and ta-da. Here it is.

A new house means... new Ideas

Some of you may know that I was trying to buy a house. Well, good news! I closed and got my keys yesterday!

I am in love and have a head full of Ideas.

We started primeing the walls last night and have to do all the painting in the upstairs before Friday. The flooring guys come in next week to start laying the floor.

I need to sit down and write out all my ideas so nothing gets missed! I am so excited and overwhelmed at the same time.

bibs, booties and more

Here are two Baby bibs I made the purple one I added a pocket to.

Here are the booties I made.








Stuffed cube I made.




And thanks to PatternBee , the little lamb which really looks nothing like a lamb.
I will have to try this one again later.

Car seat Canopy and Nursing cover

Ok so it's been a crazy week here. My good friend is moving to Florida and she just had her 3rd baby, a beautiful little girl. She asked if I could whip up a car seat tent and nursing cover for her. So she brought me fabric that she liked and I got to work.

Here is the car seat tent or canopy. I got the info from this tute, Car Seat tent.

















Here is the nursing cover I used these tutes Prudent Baby, Make it and Love it. Sorry I don't have better pictures of this one. I was being foolish and useing my cell phones camera instead of my real camera.

New Tank dress: Dragon

I have seen these dresses everywhere and though I could make my own for much cheaper. I found that I wasn't the only one with this idea in mind. I found Amber of Ruffles and Roses,
tute on how to make them... So I set off the JO-anns and found this great dragon print fabric and had a coupon for 50% off, then hit target and got the tank for 8$.

And from that came this. Sorry about the blue shirt underneath but my dress form and tank are the same color.

His Shirts 1

On May 25th My husband was riding home on his bicycle and was struck and killed my a motorist.
I am dealing with everything in my own way and a big part of dealing with this is figuring out what to do with all his clothes. He was an active duty Corpsman in the Navy(A medic.) and in addition to all his uniforms, I also have his civilians. I didn't want to donate them to good will, because I really can't part with them. So I have decided to make them into things that I can wear, So he is always with me where ever I go.

Here is the 1st thing I made. I simply took two of his Banana Republic tee shirts and hacked them up to give me a tank with a more modern feminine twist.

I know it's not a good picture, but I love how it turned out.

Ring pillow

So I haven't been super into sewing right now as my husband passed away in an accident. I am finally starting at my machine and how knocked my own socks off with this ring pillow.
I love , love , love it!

My cousin is getting married in September and I was going to make my dress but due to current events have decided to just buy one and make the pillow.

I love the way it turned out and it was so simple.
Satin, lace, ribbon, 1 crystal button and 4 bi-cone crystals.
