Birthday Craftiness

I was actually pretty productive last week. If only I had remembered to take pictures of everything I would have been doing good.

My sweet little niece turned one yesterday. Her party was on Sunday. As part of her gift, I made her a pillowcase dress with bloomers. I also appliqued a cupcake on the front. This was my first time and I was surprised at how easy it was to do.

I also made a bunting using the fabric scraps from the outfit. I wanted to make one of these for Harper's birthday, but ran out of time. So I was excited I had an excuse to make one.

I also made a little doll for her. I modified a Bit of Whimsy doll pattern that I have used before. I was trying to make it a learn how to dress doll so one side has snaps and the other side has a zipper. On the side with the zipper the doll is awake (sorry I did not get any photos). The straps on the shoes also velcro.

I finished a couple of custom orders for some cozies. I also made a frayed flower brooch using this tutorial and a matching fabric headband for myself. I will try to get photos of those for next week. Now I just need to start working on a huge wholesale order and a wedding shower gift. Man, I am tired just thinking about it.
