Grain and Gusset Popover Pinafore.

I got this pattern/tutorial earlier this spring.  I hadn't got a chance to use it until now.  This is a great tutorial.  It's super-easy to follow and just makes sense.  Plus, it's adorable.

Oh, what was that?  You need pictures as proof?  Well, I've got them.  I got Tillie all dressed up in it and then realized the good camera was still at Camp.  KodakEasyShare pictures it is!

I wish I hadn't cut her hair off in this picture.

And best of all, it's reversible.

Christmas in July! (or August...)

At Camp we have a Christmas in July homemade gift exchange.  I decided to make my recipient a bag.  After perusing Etsy for patterns, I decided on the June Bag from MayAndMae.  The pattern was a little more difficult and involved than I was planning on, but it's a darling little bag.  I'm kind of sad I couldn't keep it.

I used fusible fleece and I made a button hole!  Yay for learning new things!

It even has a back pocket.

I love long straps on bags.

The best part about sewing projects is picking out the fabric.

Sweet Bird.

My cousin had a custom order for a baby gift for a friend.  I'm actually sad I had to give this away.  It was too cute!

Tim drew the bird for me, and I'm pretty sure I'll be making one for Tillie soon!  I love the little ricrac legs. I added Fray Check to the ends after I took this picture.

I couldn't make my normal skirt since it was for a 0-3 month size.  My first attempt actually fit Tillie's Bitty Baby.

Famous?

Last week after Tillie's birthday party, I added pictures of her outfit to the Crap I've Made Flickr group.  Much to my surprise, it was featured on her blog today!

What a wonderful birthday surprise!

Birthday Bloomers

She's not one yet, but her party was today.

I made her a "1" onesies, bloomers, a fabric covered party hat and a clippie.

These were my second pair of bloomers, but they still weren't as big as I was planning.  She had to wear a disposable diaper for them to fit.

The best part about having a party a week early is that she gets to wear it again next week Friday!

A Tiny Sneak Peek

Here's small glimpse of Tillie's birthday outfit.

A Pair of Peacocks.

My friend Lure is having twins!  Her last name means peacock, so I new from the start that I would be making a peacock onesie.  After her 20 week ultrasound I learned I would have to make two.  Shopping for coordinating fabric was fun.

In a few months we'll meet the little boy and girl!
