Baby Flip Flops


I love making baby stuff and since I had a girl I've been making girl items. But recently I had a cousin become pregnant with a little boy and when I went to my stash of patterns I realized that the majority of my patters are little girls. Sorry but I don't want to put a baby boy in ballet slippers. So I searched and searched and finally found a cute pattern for flip flops, but it was super confusing so I decided to write my own.

Kitchen

My parents just bought a new travel trailer and asked me to make them some kitchen items. I looked up as many different kitchen patterns as I could find. Here is what I've made them so far:
Placemat - 16x13

 Dish Cloth - 2 Square & 2 Round
 Microwave Plate Pincers - For those pesky hot plates when hey come out of the microwave
 Pot Holders - 2 , double thickness for grabbing hot pans out of the oven
 Pot Handle and Lid Holder -For the hot pans and the hot lids
Scrubbies - use for cleaning everything. Plates, potatoes, your car. Good for everything.

Baby Afghan

I made my very first afghan ever. So excited usually I don't like to make big projects (I get very impatient.) But I have cousins that are having babies and I thought this was the perfect time to make an afghan. Measures app. 30"x37" This one is purple and white.

Nightgown

I never thought when I had a daughter that she would absolutely love dresses (I am not a big fan.) Well now she has gotten to the point where she wants to wear dresses all the time, including bed time. I was at Walmart and was going to buy her a nightgown but the ones they had were $14. For those with toddlers you know, that's expensive for something they'll grow out of in a month. So I decided I would go and check out the patterns. I found a cute pattern for $3 then when and found fabric for $5.50. That's $6 cheaper. I also cut out each size for the night gown on some cheap fabric I've had so that when she grows out of the one I just made I don't have to buy the pattern again.
She loves it. She kept asking me if I was done and asking if she could wear it when I was done.
It's a little big but its a size three and she's not quite there for size.

Fleece Hat

All parents know that children grow very quickly. My daughter is almost three and every season we have to buy her new clothes. We had to buy her a new jacket, snow pants, the works. I decided that instead of buying her a new hat I would make her one. I made it out have black fleece and added a purple and gray flower to match her jacket and pants. She loves wearing it, sometimes we have a hard time getting it off of her.
She wore it while we were at a Christmas Festival in Levenworth, WA.
It kept her ears nice and warm.

Baby Ball

My daughter loves the Disney Princesses and so I decided to make her a ball. Each panel has a different princess. It's nice and soft so babies can pick them up. And if they accidentily get hit it won't hurt.

Dresses

This past summer my daughter has become OBSESSED with dresses. Every day "mommy can I wear a dress?" It started to get a little frustrating because we had a very limited number of dresses. It was time to break out the good old sewing machine. I bought a pattern at Walmart (an easy one, since it was my first dress) She loved the dresses. She also loved the pants and shirt that came as part of the pattern. Each one also comes with a matching headband.
