sew cute...

Recent stitchery projects for the kidlets here:
A fabric booster seat for my daughter... which she affectionately refers to as her "big girl chair".

I simply cut a square of thick foam cushion (from an old bus seat!), grabbed some bright turquoise vinyl for the top and green bird/leaf upholstery fabric for the sides... sewed a basic box pattern, and slipped foam in. Done!
I also stitched in laces at the back to tie to any chair.

Another recent project:
Reversible toddler hats (matching gingham pattern inside for brother & sister).
Now let's all gasp in unison - I actually followed a pattern!
Azriel's hat has the grey and hot pink kitty design.
Hudson gets the camouflage motorcycles on his.

Seeeeeeeeeeeeewww cute!!

  1. The hats are so cute. Could you make one for my nephew? He is turning 4 on July 4. Let me know how much it would cost.

  4. Pretty please with sugar on top teach me to sew! I can get everything set up & stitch a fairly straight line but that is where it sadly ends.  Love your projects!

  7.  awwww, hehe that would be a hoot!  Totally the 'blind leading the blind' though, since if you can stitch a straight line - you're already ahead of me! lol.   Thanks for the compliment!  My golden rule: just keep sewing away till it starts to become what you want it to.  xo
