A great Christmas gift!

I've already started making Key Fobs for Christmas gifts so get your orders in! I used a bunch of new fabrics so check them out below! These are great teacher gifts or you could even use them as a gift tag on top of another gift.















Plus some old favorites...





Also made some cute gift baskets for babies...

Hula Themed




Yankee themed (client provided fabric- it's very hard to find!)





Have a great day!

Big Changes

I have a really good excuse for not posting in so long-we've moved! Shortly after my last post we found out we needed to move to Northern California for my husband's job. With school starting in mid-August we had to move super-fast and in exactly three weeks we were rolling up to our new home. I have been extremely homesick for San Diego but I've been feeling a little better in the past week. I grew up in this area and had my 20th high school reunion on Saturday. I reconnected with lots of people, (some I've known since elementary school) and a few of them even live in the same town we moved to so my outlook is getting better. We hope to get back to San Diego soon but for now I'm going to enjoy spending time with my family and childhod friends and hope to make new friends too!

Anyway, I wasn't able to sew for about a month but have finally been working on orders again. Thanks to all my loyal clients who have been so patient. It's taking me a little longer to finish orders as I get adjusted to our new schedule and routines but I hope to be back in full swing in October.

Below are a few things I did before we moved. I will post some new things as I get them done soon.

Toddler Birthday Shirts







Cute tote for a little girl




Thanks for stopping by- I will be posting a lot of new Key Fob designs soon!

Gifts

Have you heard the expression "The shoemaker's wife has no shoes."? Sometimes I feel like that with my friends. "The baby gift maker's friends have no gifts." I was finally able to finish up some gifts for my friends but still have a few to get started for babies that were born in April! Do I dare buy them something from a store??? Just kidding, I'd never do that!

Big Sister/Baby Sister set for my friend Jeannine's little girls. I also made a burp cloth set but forgot to take a picture.



Pirate shirt for Stef's son Jesse that I promised to make months ago.



Key Fob for my son's first grade teacher.



Julie, Heather and Jeannine's are gifts...the others were orders. I made the pink ribbon key fob for Heather because she just finished her fifth year being on the crew at the Avon Breast Cancer Walk in San Francisco. She raised a bunch of money in honor of our dear friend Kiersten who lost her long battle with breast cancer last year at the age of 37. I'm so proud of Heather for all she's done!



Make-up bag for one of my best friends. Wish I could have gotten it done for her in time for her trip to Hawaii back in May!



The following two shirts were orders...cute summer shirts!




Sample dress I made for the sewing class I teach. Once I got the hang of using the elastic thread it was really easy to make. Too bad none of my kids can wear it! It worked out though because my friend's daughter just had a birthday so I gave it to her and she looked super cute in it.



Thanks for looking!

Double Cute!

My friend Susan asked me to make some birthday shirts for her twin boys. They turned out so cute. I can do these in any color, number and font for boys and girls. I hope to list on etsy soon!

Looking cute on the table...


Looking double cute on the birthday boys.! How cute are these guys!


Thanks for looking!

Christmas in June!

I ordered a bunch of fabric online recently and it all arrived on Saturday. I was so excited to open up the boxes- it was like Christmas in June! I can’t wait to start making some new totes, zipper bags and key fobs with it all. Stay tuned!





I can’t wait to make some burp cloths and blankets with this super cute new fabric!



Thanks for looking!
