Fox Hoodie

I saw this on Pinterest and since I freaking love foxes I decided to recreate it.

1. I free-handed a fox template pattern for the hoodie. I got the hoodie from Target (my son wears 12 M)
2. I bought some reddish orange corduroy fabric, white felt, black felt, and buttons.
3. I cut out the coordinating pieces of corduroy and felt from the template.
4. I sewed around the edges of each piece.
5. Then I used fray-check around the edges so the fabric won't fray.
6. Then I sewed some little black buttons on for eyes.
7. And Voila! Super cute and stylin hoodie for my little fox ;-)

Baby Wolf Hoodie Costume

I got my instructions here but I did a couple of things different. First, I noticed since it was a bigger kid wearing the costume I shrunk the printable pattern to 75% of the original size so it would fit better on a infant size hoodie. Then, I added claws to the bottom of the pants like the ones that you add to the arms of the hoodie. I just made the claws for the sweatpants bigger since it is a bigger opening. Its pretty easy though because you don't have to sew anything. You attach everything with fabric glue!

Felt Fox Onesie

Here is a picture of the latest onesie I made for my baby boy. It was kind of labor intensive but I think it turned out cute:

Maternity ghost shirt & onesies

Here are some pictures of some crafts that I have been working on recently ... mostly just sewing on peices of fabric/felt that I cut out onto onesies and a maternity shirt. Nothing too fancy.

"Stay Classy" Mustache onesie ... inspired by Ron Burgundy

Tie onesie for church

Sasquatch onesie ... don't ask why I just love Sasquatch

Lots-o-crafts

So I have basically been a crafting maniac recently. Some of these crafts were made while my mom was here like a month ago so don't get too concerned for me yet. I can't even post everything that I have made because some of them are presents for people that I haven't given to them yet. It seems like everyone I know and their mother is pregnant or having a baby so most of these are baby things that I have made. I will post the links to the tutorials for some of the crafts that I made. Here is the list:

Pom Bunny Figurine: (My sister in law Elizabeth actually made this one)

Car Seat Cover:(I just rounded the corners by tracing a bowl; I didn't round it as much as this tutorial says to)

Burp cloths: Just a cloth diaper with a strip of fabric down the middle lined with ric-rac

Hooter Hider

Fabric Covered "P" letter: Just got a cardboard P glued some batting on top then winged it the rest of the way with fabric

Paper Balls in vase: My sister in law Elizabeth showed me how to make these too

Glitter Peeps: Thought of it myself

Throw Pillows: Favorite fabric/purse designer Orla Kiely

Wipey Case Cover: Kinda winged it though there are a lot of tutorials you can find on the web

Christmas Tree Skirt: Amy Butler Free Pattern (not quite finished yet; still need to put giant buttons on it)

Baby Sling: Pattern from local craft store

Changing Pad: Pattern from Amy Butler baby book "Little Stiches for Little Ones"

Charm: I made this with my wedding announcement and the help of Garrett's mom. You can make this into a necklace or a key chain
