Sewing up a Storm

 I've been sewing up a storm these last couple of weeks. We have a few friends with babies due and I also needed to restock my Etsy Shop. These are my custom fabric baby blankets. The white with the yellow edging go in the shop and the red edge is for a gift. You can see more of these blankets in this post.

 

I also cut and pinned three more of these frayed flannel beauties. They are time consuming, but fun to make. I'll be putting at least one in the shop, so let me know if you are interested!

 

I also finished a custom order for a set of Big/Lil Sis shirts. This is actually for three sisters. The baby gets two size onesies so she can wear it longer. 

 all ready to mail off! You can view others I've made here.

 While I was in the US over Christmas this fabric shouted at me from the rack, so I just had to buy it and turn it into a snuggly blanket. Not sure if I'm giving it away or selling it... so if you want to buy it give me a shout out and help me make my decision!

 I just sewed two layers of flannel together, but then stitched around every one of these green buildings. The stitching goes from green to blue in an almost ombre style.

 LOVE the fabric!

 oh yes, I will say it again...I love this fabric...

 Its hard to see, but you can just make out the hand-stitching on the back.

 

And that's a wrap! What have you been up to lately?
