Paint a Tree In Your Kid’s Bedroom-Free Download – I’ve been a busy girl. I’ve been working on my little girl’s bedroom since moving into our new house last month. It has been so satisfying to finally be able to paint! While I don’t feel like it is fully finished, I still thought I’d share what I’ve done with you. And, if you are interested in making your own tree, I’ve provided the stencils I made for myself here for you. The pdf shown here includes simple instructions and patterns for the flowers and leaves. Here’s a helpful hint to create stencils: I used my Silhouette to cut these out. Download the pdf stencils. Want to see the rest of the room? And here’s the after.
Baby boots... Crash ? Here goes, I'm going to try and do this but my computer keeps crashing, if there are any glaring errors I'll put them right asap. Here comes a poor quality photo again, I still haven't sussed out what's wrong with the scanner. Enlarge to whatever size you wish, just measure the length of baby's ( or Mama's ) foot. Cut 4 boot pieces and 2 sole pieces as shown. The easiest way to do this is to lay your fabric right sides together, and then pin and cut out together. Pin and stitch the sides of each boot ( right sides together) And then stitch the boot to the sole as shown, don't forget to mark the front and back centre points on the soles - it makes it a lot easier to position correctly. Now turn under and press a small hem at the top of each boot and it's lining. Now slot the lining into it's boot with wrong sides together, Finish off with a decorative stitch to close and maybe some yo-yo's. See you then ! Have a sooper dooper weekend. xxx
Tummy Time Mat Tutorial My friend Kim just had a beautiful baby girl named Peyton Elizabeth. Isn't that a great name! I thought Peyton needed a stylish tummy mat so I whipped up this one and I'll show you how to make one too. First I cut 4 13-inch squares of felt and sewed them together with the 1/2 inch seams out. I cut the seams so that when I washed the blanket I'd get some great fringe. After the four squares are sewn together and the fringey snips are made it's time to sew on the backing and the batting. Sew these three layers together and leave one section open like you would a pillow so that you can turn the blanket inside out. There's one final step before you throw your blanket into the washing machine.... Finally, my favorite step! Here's the final product.
Cook Clean Craft: Tutorial: Baby Kimono Top When searching for an outfit to make for a friend’s baby, I came across this very cute baby kimono pattern at the Martha Stewart website. I loved putting kimono-style rompers on my son when he was a bub as you don’t have to worry about pulling anything over his head (which was always a challenge). However, there were a few comments complaining that it was difficult to follow the instructions, so I thought I’d put together a detailed photo-tutorial. Also, I decided to use buttons for the closure at the front rather than ribbons (which just seem too fiddly for me when you’re dealing with a squirmy or screaming baby!). Note: I also didn’t follow the order of the instructions from the Martha Stewart website. I did it in the order that made sense to me, and helped me figure out how the pieces were supposed to go together.

Fun In The Sun: Terry Towel Coverup & Matching Beach Pillow Back in the day, your 'beach towel' was simply a ratty bath towel that had seen better days and which Mom allowed you to drag outside. Today's beach towels are colorful terry cloth works of art in jumbo sizes. We used one to make our simple summer beach wrap. A clever cut allows you to make optimum use of the towel's bound edges, and leaves you the perfect scrap to create a matching pillow. To add a splash of summer fun, we braided three colors of polka dot knit to create the wrap's wonderful ties. It's all super quick to make, so you can be lounging by the shore in style before all the good spots are gone. For the best gathering and drape, we recommend a lightweight beach towel over a super-thick style. Our coverup is made for a slim adult of average height. Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome DC4030 ) One beach towel, approximately 39" wide x 70" long ¼ yard EACH of 44-45" wide knit fabric in THREE different colors: {*style:<i> </i>*}NOTE: All-purpose sewing thread to match towel
