paisley perfection

i love this new paisley print that brother/sister fabrics released recently at hobby lobby. the navy paired with the bright pink and other fun colors is just a+++! i bought one yard the other day and am very sad i didn't spring for more--i went back to buy the rest of the bolt only to find it sold out! at least it is still available online if i get desperate! this is what i made using one yard of the paisley fabric and its coordinating splotch print...

 one pair of 18-24 month ruffle pants...

a 3T ruffle skirt...

 and a 6-12 month bubble romper...

 

also on today's agenda...another retro dots apron--check! (it is going to be overnighted tomorrow so that it makes it just in time for a little girl's cupcake-themed birthday party on saturday!!)

 ...and birthday tees for twin-almost-three-year old boys who apparently adore buzz and woody!

and now, it is time to rest my head! good night to all three of you who read this little blog! thanks for keeping up with me and chickadee chickadee!

little girl, big ruffle...a win win!

think that little bitties are too itty bitty for ruffles?

think again!

i have had the pleasure of making teeny tiny ruffle pants for babies in 3-6 months sizing lately...they are so adorable i cannot even stand it! check out the difference in size between a 3T dark denim ruffle and a 3-6 month pair! yummy! i just had to try to squeeze sweet pea into them...

 and one of my dear friends ordered macy's apple picking pants for her baby...they look so cute on little katherine!!

in the mail...

 and even though i have not too much spare time on my hands these days between chasing these two and keeping up with shop orders, i have been including little extras in each package i have sent out...mostly headbands and clippies like those in my other shop, but today i decided to try something new that seems to be all the rage right now...rolled fabric roses! they are delightful and easy to make...this was my first attempt so there is definitely room for improvement! i used this tutorial from one of my favorite blog stops!!

a fantabulous blog that i am sure you have all heard of and visited, made, also has a great series of flower tutorials, so when i find myself with an extra hour or two (next year!!) i will check them all out and try my hand at more variations!

and one of my favorite fabric designers, sandi henderson, also has a wonderful tutorial on rolled roses posted on her gorgeous blog (it's on the side bar)!
