Smith Car Seat

I love this car seat!  I made it for a friend of mine, but it is just so my style!  I like to think that if I had been brave enough when my boys were little, I would have redone their seat to look like this. :)  The fact is I have only been sewing for the last few years.  Before that, I could sew, but not without my mom standing next to me coaching me through the directions!  I can still remember the first time I followed a pattern all the way through and didn't have to call my mom for any explanations!  I was so proud of myself! haha!  Enough memory lane, onto the cute pics!! 



I love the little pops of orange!


Little teaser...later this week I will have bedding pics for this same friend!  Yay!

Hair Bows

I had a friend who wanted to make some hair bows for her daughter, so she came over for a nice relaxing evening of crafting!  There are the bows I made.  If only my daughter would keep them in her hair...




Don't you just love this fluffy little chiffon one?!?  I made one like this in zebra, but forgot to take a pic before I sent it home with my friend!

Crayon roll!

I love these!  They are just so cute and easy to throw in a bag or purse!  Mine hold 24 crayons.  Last year I made them for all my son's friend's for Christmas, add a coloring book and you're done!

Cow bedding

Custom sewing is all about making your customer happy.  It is the reason I do custom work.  For that moment when it is all put together and they see their vision come true.  That was the case with this bedding.  The client came with fabric swatches in hand and a vision in her head.  Here is her vision...


I was nervous about the blanket because I have never made one before, but thankfully she wanted a very simple design!
