apron/hot pad set.

april is birthdays GALORE for a ton of kids that we know. here is a gift that i made for a little girl katie goes to school with. i used the same tutorial as the last apron i made from Skip to my Lou. for the matching hot pad, i simply sandwiched some quilt batting in between 2 fabrics and quilted straight lines 1.25 inches apart, and then bound it with bias tape. i'm also giving her some shrinky dinks with the apron/hot pad (that i scored at target for $2.50!)





thanks for looking!

bibs.

lots of babies born lately.....here are a few bibs i've made for gifts. i deviated from my normal pattern and tried something new, using bias tape to bind them. i used this tutorial from Purl Bee, but omitted the pocket and used cute cotton prints on both sides with fusible fleece in the middle. it makes a little smaller bib than my usual, suitable for newborns, and i love how the bias tape contrasts nicely with the prints.

i love the blue/brown houndstooth this one is backed with.

thanks for looking!
