Happy Saturday. I seem to have quite the collection of newly made projects so I figured I would share some photos and chat a little about what I've been working on.
First up…
Baby Space Travel
Robe Sets: These turned out so cute! I currently have 2 sets in stock in a 6- 9 month size + 2 sets in a 12 month size and I will be listing more to come. If you would like one in a
different size feel free to message me over on etsy and I will be happy to whip
a set up for you. Both the natural colored tunic and the outer dark brown robe
are made with a soft jersey fabric and each comes with a waist tie. These are going to be perfect for Halloween but also for everyday
space travel, retreating from sand storms, or lounging on cloud 9.
12 month size. Each set comes with a tunic and hooded robe.
Price $34

Dotted Butterfly Pillow
Case Set: These are made with a fabulous cotton print of various
sized butterflies on a vanilla nutmeg background with a dotted French cotton to
match up the sides. Simple, pull-on pillow case style.
Measurements: 17” width x 26.5” in length
Set of 2/ Price $14

Fleece Baby
Blankets: These are made with a soft fleece fabric on one side and then a top
patterned fabric layer knotted on at the corners. This blanket is fabulous in that the
fleece is warm, soft and easy to wash. They also make great play mats for the
little ones and the patterned fabric panel can be removed easily. This is a great travel blanket
and though this particular one is a gift, I will be happy to make more if
anyone is interested. The price will be around $18 each and offered in a variety
of fabric prints and fleece colors. You can never have too many blankets for
those messy little munchkins. You can pick the colors/ prints desired J

Dinosaur Dress: Not impressed. This was
a test of a pattern and maybe I rushed it a bit to see how that front laid out
but I do not like it. I need to have top stitched the front down before adding
the back on, and I need to extend the neckline up a bit and then cut back
before sewing the lining in. I also do not like the gather at the sides of the
upper bodice. I was going to add a yellow belt to go with, but in the likely
event that I scrap this, I didn’t bother.
This is the pattern I used...
In fairness to the pattern, I feel as though I botched it and should try it again . They don't all turn out perfect...

Vintage Embroidered Pillow Case Slip Cover: This is a cute one and though I am not listing it
online for sale, it did turn out really quite shabby chic/ cottage-like. It definitely
needed some love, that’s for sure. I found it at some sale or other and I
promised myself I would fix it up at some point soon, I finally got around to
it. I like the color and though it’s perfect for a spare bedroom or an old
rocking chair or something, this particular cover has a few too many age spots
to sell. The embroidered panel has information handwritten on it however and I
did not cut it off, it is sewn into the inseam on the zipper inside. It says
No. 192 P-Buttercups Design Made by Carlson Currier Co.
I had to ask myself
what it is exactly that I liked so much about it. For starters, the colors and
size are perfect. The natural, aged color of the linen is perfect, the size and
colors used for the hand embroidered portion were pretty and I really liked the
size. The insert pillow used for the photos was 16” x 18” and the slip cover
was 16.5” x 18” so it worked. I also liked the way the metallic zipper went
well with the rest of the design. This was made with rounded corners. I have more of these zippers and would definitely
make more pillow covers, though I cannot promise that my embroidery will be as
lovely as the original work shown here. The base fabric should be a linen, it will wear nicely with time.

Baby Kimono + Diaper
Cover Sets: Two more are finished and ready to go. Both sets are
made with a dark green jersey fabric for any of those little forest nymphs out
there. The cutest green, gold, black, purples and blues highlight the trim and
you will find the tabs on the diaper cover have Velcro for closure. I really
liked how these turned out and this is the first time I have made these in this
color.
The first set is a size 12 month-
And the second set is a size 9 month.
Price $35/ Kimono Robe + Diaper Cover set

Cropped Circles Pillow Case Set:
This set of two pillow cases is fabulous and made with a vibrant circle print canvas.
The prints will brighten any space and will work well on the bed or even in the
living room. Pillow inserts not included though I did use bed pillows as inserts so you will find a large sized pillow will fit well. Zipper for closure on the shorter
side of each case. If you need inserts to match let me know and I can include
them with your purchase however you may find picking up your own inserts to be
more economical as you will be charged additional shipping to compensate for
the bulk weight.
Measurements: 17" width (43.2 cm) x 27.5" length (69.9 cm), zipper on shorter side for closure. Machine washable, low heat for drying. Price $22/ set of two
