New Flower Decorations

This weekend I made some new flower decorations. I just bought different flower sizes and made my own designs. Clips or magnets can be added for headbands, refrigerators, cubicles or lockers. They are so cute!!

Gameday Dress

After many requests for gameday dresses and many hours of finding the best ways of doing it and many, many trips to Hobby Lobby, I finally made one for one of my friends little girl:

This is a 4t shirt and I just added cotton material to the bottom after I ruffled the print.
If you would like for me to make you one, just let me know or go to my facebook or etsy page.

Little Girls' Purses

A couple of months ago while browsing some blogs, I came across this tutorial of how to do canvas totes with ruffles. I decided to give it a try and they all have turned out so cute!! There are three options that you can use to do this. However, out of all the options, I highly recommend getting a ruffler foot if you are going to do ruffles on more than several occasions. They run around $12-$15 and you can get them at your local craft store like Hobby Lobby, JoAnn’s, Hancocks, etc. You can also get different sizes of these tote bags anywhere and they aren't that expensive. These make great gifts!

Option 1:    Use a glue gun instead of stitching. Just line up your fabric (I used a white pencil to make sure I kept a straight line) and ‘push’ the fabric making ruffles

Option 2:    Make stitches using the widest stitch on your sewing machine and pull the bottom thread. I did this a few times and when I felt like I could go bang my head against a tree, I went and bought a ruffler foot!! You might want to take a Valium beforehand..unless you have magic hands, it’s a little frustrating!

Option 3:    My favorite option! Use a ruffler foot!! I used the setting 6.

So, first, iron your fabric and fold over the edges, iron them and sew. Ironing makes it so much easier and prettier. My OCD will have a fit if you don’t iron your stuff..thanks.

Make markings on your totes to make sure your fabric is aligned straight and pin. Then sew. I make sure the bottom of the ruffle goes over the one on bottom.

Then I added pretty ribbon, a flower that you can get a Walmart and of course….Bling. Because EVERYTHING should have bling!

If you would like one made, to my etsy page.

Happy Sewing!

New Designs Coming

Goodness I love Pinterest. It never fails to inspire something in me be it food, decorations, clothes and especially new ideas!

One of my friends has a friend who is having a little girl and has requested I do something for her. There are so many ideas out there and so many cute things I want to do! Here are some of the ideas I’m thinking about:

Onesie with coordinating leg warmers, maybe some ruffles on the booty and matching hair accessories. LOVE!! Here’s a pic I found on Etsy that gave me the inspiration:

I know right?! OMG...Don't you just love it? It's totally to die for!

Another idea is a combo that everyone is familiar with: blanket, bib, birp cloth and diaper wipe cover. She's doing butterflies..So maybe a pink or green coordinating minky?! Yes!!

I've also placed an order from some of my friends at Etsy to start making custom key fobs! I love my job!!

Locker Magnetic Flower Decorations

So, after seeing all the new locker decorations for girls this year and fighting to get my daughter all she wanted, I figured I could make the flower decorations. You can use these on lockers, cubicles, refrigerators, filing cabinets, etc. The are super cute and I put rhinestones on mine because everthing should bling!
Go here to order yours for $5.
