No Sew Fabric Flower Onesie

Back in June I did a tutorial on how to make a "No sew fabric flower". (For that tutorial, simply click on June and go to "no sew fabric flower".)

Well I decided to spice things up a little and turn a plain onesie into a fabulous one!



You may know that I am pregnant and due in about 3 months. Well, we do not know what we are having, but I will be bringing this to the hospital just in case it's a girl. I also made a matching headband. This is such an easy thing to make. Make one for a shower or baby gift!

Kids Floor Pillow - Shabby to Spiderman Cool

So, about a year ago I bought these big ugly rectangular pillows at Ross for $10 a piece. I knew I wanted to recover them, and FINALLY did!
These pillows are "semi-homemade" seeing as though I did not make the full pillow. You could make your pillow very easily though. Check this "e" site out. You can follow the directions and make it the size you'd like. http://www.ehow.com/video_4433955_sew-pillow.html

Back to our pillow:
The pillows I bought had a blue corduroy and a soft light blue side. I decided to keep the blue corduroy side. So, first I spread out the spiderman fabric over the light blue side of the pillow and cut out a piece, leaving a couple of inches around the perimeter of the pillow.
Next, I folded the fabric to the edge of the pillow and pinned around the whole pillow.
Lastly, I simply did a whip-stitch (this is by hand) all the way around the pillow.

If you are not familiar with a whip-stitch, check out this video of how to do one.

Paint, Paint, Paint!

A new painting for a newly created bedspread!
I just recently picked out this particular "Michael Miller" fabric for a new bedspread to inspire a new boys room. We are taking them from the animal theme to the transportation theme! Cars, trucks, airplanes, fire trucks, bikes and more!
I picked out the airplane in the fabric and drew a larger one on the canvas. I then painted the whole plane blue and added the yellow windows and surrounding flares. I recommend when you are first getting started to lightly draw with pencil your basic outline. Then, the options are endless! So, do you want to go paint something now??
