Leprechaun

I had originally planned to do a simple plush shamrock for Corbyn's St. Patrick's Day gift. I saw this cute little Pattern and thought "that would be an awesome little Leprechaun" So I of course made one with red hair and added a little shamrock on it. I like how it turned out. I wish somewhere around here sold embroidery thread, but the fabric markers did a great job when limited by time. I didn't finish it on St. Patrick's Day unfortunately. I did finish it by the day of the parade so it was a memento of Corbyn's first parade.

90-minute shirt

I needed some summer cloths for Corbyn so I decided to make some. I stumbled across this TUTORIAL from MADE. Of course being my first try it took a me a little more then 90 minutes. An hour more to be exact, but it was still pretty easy. I wasn't too happy with the way the first one turned out so snug around the neck. I adjusted my pattern by an inch around the neck and that one was way to big. I need a happy medium. I plan on resewing part of the second one for a better fit and will take some pictures of that as well.

I love green on him. Most of the stuff I make him is green or grey.

Plush Car

For Valentine's Day this year I decided to make a Plush Car for Monk. It turned out really well, but it took a lot more work then anticipated. This is the first time I have attempted a plush(with the exception of my deformed bee) so I was figuring out tricks as I went along. I was not happy with my work several times and redid them, but hey it turned out pretty good. Monk loves it and asks for it at bedtime every night now.

In the works

I plan to post on here a bit of my sewing creations. Recipes, tips, and anything I have found helpful or creative as well. I'm not sure how much will get done on here as I am a busy mother with many projects on my list of "to do"s, but I will try to keep up when I can.
