The infant hats are so easy! I re purposed some t-shirts for the occasion. I also had a tiny bit of brown fabric left over from my pants material. I love the gnome inspired infant hats with the long tails. We had one with Michael and I loved it so much and was so sad when it didn't fit him anymore. So, I used that same infant hat for inspiration. I made a variety of sizes and all a bit bigger than newborn. That way when it's getting chilly here, he'll still have cute hats to wear.
My friends Liam and Monica helped me model another style hat. I have to make more of this style! He looks like a little jester!
I saw a few adorable bibs that I really wanted to buy in an expensive catalog. They were on sale for more then $10 a bib. They are so very cute! Sewn, felt carrot, corn and cherries. But really, more than $10 a bib!? Just to be stained with said "carrot, corn and cherries"! So I found a couple of terry cloth bibs at the hobby store at $3.99 a piece and stitched my own. Voila! Same look and much less expensive!
This owl was left over from my mobile and wall hanging.I'm having fun and prioritizing my list. At 37 weeks I don't have much crafting time left!

So creative I like the hats, and the bibs, did you hand sew the carrotts and owl on? or did you use your machine? Your mom helped me finish a pillow for emily's Gymnastics coach, i could have done it alone, but your mom had ideas for it that I have never tried, so I made her help me! I will post it soon.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I found the strawberry hat, I sent it with your mom tuesday night. Also Ihave been finding myself at the fabric store more and everytime I am there, i go down the isle with all the baby fabric and find myself dreaming of making blkankets and sheets for a baby that doesnt exsist.
ReplyDeleteHey Stacey! Thanks! I hand sewed the bibs. I thought that would be easier and look better than trying to get all the detail in the carrot by machine. I enjoy hand sewing more too.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe there's another little soul out there calling to you!
