Lion Applique Blanket

My sister- in -law made this lion with her cricket.  Really cool machines. 

I finally decided to stop waiting and just put it on a blanket.  It'll hang around longer than a shirt.  Iron, iron, sew, sew and We's done.  She immediately ran off with it and this was the only pic i could get.

Thanks Aunt Rene!

Embellished T- Shirt with Cut Fabric Flowers

 I was already wearing this shirt today, and I couldn't think of any jewelry I had to wear to make it look better.
I stopped at Joann's and got a 1/4 yard of fabric. 

 I cut out a couple flowers.

 Got them situated and pinned and sewed with a baste stitch around all of it.  Then I went back with a zigzag stitch for the edges.  I'm hoping it frays a little after washing for a more vintage look.

 Finished!

What do you think??  Come by and leave me a comment!

Applique for My Baby Girl's Shirt

 My baby just celebrated her First Birthday! It's a celebration of her 1 year, and of 1 year of parenthood for me and my husband.  So many changes ...in just one year.

From feeding every two hours in the early morning hours to her now crawling around trying to find something else to get into and investigate. Standing, and attempting to walk without holding on.  I'll be the first to say...I was soo tired at the beginning.... so tired. And now I'm just tired all the time. Just kidding! 

Things are way better and I really enjoy seeing her change so much.  It's amazing the love you feel for your own child. I love her more than Iced Coffee in the morning. That's saying ALOT! She's absolutely a Daddy's girl already.  She just gets soo excited when she sees him. I love that.  I'd move mountins for my baby if I had to. She's the best. I love her.

Ok, on with this project. I just unburied my sewing machine after it had a week off. 

You need a plain shirt, some scrap fabric with a print on it, and pins. I cut this bunting upside down and couldn't use it, so I'm going to cut out the cat.

 I already loved this shirt because it goes with almost anything...but I need something for my cat.

 After cutting it out, I pinned and sewed around it. Then went back with a zigzag stitch a couple times because my edges were fraying more than I wanted.

 Done! Could this have been easier for such enjoyment? I love it. And as you can see the drool, she really loves it too!

From Plain Jane...to Night out!

Plain shirt

I've been looking at my closet at the same old stuff. I grabbed one of my plain V Neck shirts and added an applique.

Sewing on the Applique

I keep a stash of buttons, so I grabbed some of those.

Sewing on buttons

Finished!

I believe I paid $5.99 for this shirt; now its looks like more.

Love this! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Cow Pillow

My babe's new favorite pillow

Searching through my stash of craft items, I found my soft cow applique. I sewed this on. Actually lots of fun to do.

Then grabbed some felt and made a C for my baby and tossed on a strong button. I then sewed my two pieces together and stuffed in some poly-fil.

I put a ribbon in between the seam, and sewed some lines to close it all up.
It is my girl's favorite pillow, and she's learning about animals, letters, and the feel of different textures.

Christmas is coming soon; I hope everyone is doing well and fitting in all the fun!
