New Item for Sale!!!!!


I have finally finished something else. It seems like everything is so crazy lately. Between Arlie's school and all the Easter parties coming up, it seems like I can't get everything done. Anyway, here is the new item. I think it is too cute. My daughter inspired me with this bib. First, she absolutely loves pink and butterflies. So I just put it together. I hope everyone enjoys it!!!

New Item For Sale (Baby Pacifier Clip)



Today I am posting a new item that I have added to our studio. It is an adorable paci clip. I know all those mothers out there know how bad it is when you lose your baby's pacifier. It is definitely classified as a high level meltdown.

I made this using some scrap material I had left over from one of my daughter's skirts. I also used a pink ribbon for securing the pacifier to the clip. Then it has a clip on the end so that you can hook to a carseat or whatever is the closest to your baby. It measures 8 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 inch wide. I hope you all go check out our studio. I can also make it in any color or size that you would like. Just email me at brittany.gooden16@gmail.com to request one. I hope you all have a good Monday tomorrow.

Baby Bib Tutorial (My First Tutorial)

Hey! My sister Leslie is expecting a baby boy on May 1. I have been trying to think of things to make him that will be from his Aunt Brittany. Leslie's husband is a big fan of Georgia University football. Not too many people from Georgia aren't. So of course to support their team I made a Georgia bib, just perfect for little Daniel. I would like to share how I made it.


First of all, I would like to give credit to McCall's, which is where I got the pattern from. The number on the pattern is M5604. You could also trace a bib that your child has outgrown to kind of give you an idea of what size you are looking for.

Here are the supplies that you will need:
-sewing machine
-fabric of your choice
-batting
-thread
-scissors
-sew on velcro fasteners

First I cut out my material and batting.








Next, I put the right sides of my fabric together and layered my batting next. I did this so that when you turn you bib, your fabric will be on the outside and your batting will be on the inside. Note: Do not forget to leave an opening for turning. Once you stitch this togeth,then turn you bib. Next slip stitch your bib. Then stitch your Velcro on for fastening the bib. That is all. Now you have made a meaningful gift for a special bundle straight from heaven.
