Little Shoes for Giselle

My cousin Sharon was one of the many people to complain about not being able to find cute little shoes for bubs under 9 months.  So...it was only fair that her little bub Giselle get some of my first little tootsy creations.  These turned out much nicer than Gracey's as I have found a more professional way to sew the panels together.  I also made Giselle a little beanie/hair clip...just to complete the ensemble.

Little Mary Jane Shoes....or as I like to call these red ones...Dorothy Shoes!

So many of my friends complain about how hard it is to find small cute little girl shoes.  After some net surfing I found a pattern to make a similar pair of shoes to these and adapted the pattern to suit my tastes.  This is what I came up with:

They were really easy to make and took very little time.  All done in one night!

Cute T's for my little ones!

What do you get when you take 2 photos, some iron-on interfacing, black fabric and a needle and cotton? These cute silhouette shirts of the little ones!

I used these 2 photos:

Then traced around them on a black and white copy:

Then transfered this image on to iron-on interfacing (used for quilting). Then iron on the black cotton fabric.  Cut the silhouette image out. Removed the paper backing, ironed this onto the shirt or onesie. Then to finish it off, I hand stitched around the edge to make it wash safe.

This was such a quick project.  The hand stitching took the most time.  I'm going to keep these little silhouette pieces for their 21st box. Definately a lasting memory of these beautiful baby toddler years. Perhaps I might even do it every April.  It would be a beautiful way to Chronicle their changes over the years...plus they look super groovy!!!

Cute Kids Shirts

I'm always on the lookout for interesting t-shirts for E. Tonight I found this little online store called babybees. These t-shirts are from Eggkids and all of Babybees clothing lines are Swedish and Danish designs.
