animal pajamas

Again with the pajamas, I know!  But that's what he needed.  I also had this animal fabric laying around since 2005 and needed to do something with it or get rid of it. 

The shirt is freezer paper stenciled on a 90 minute shirt both ideas I found from Dana at MADE.  I know now I will never ever get tired of making the 90 minute shirt.  I can get one done in about 60 minutes now, and the color combos are endless!

I've had a little less time this week, Travis is now in a toddler bed.  Some of the time he lays right down and goes to sleep, other times he runs out of bed, and I put him back, and this pattern goes on until he passes out from exhaustion!  He's one determined little bugger.

Here he is helping take the crib apart with his toy drill.

Right now I've got a few sewing projects going on.  When Travis goes in for his nap I'm not sure what to work on!  I'm thinking of making some gifts for the kids to put away for Christmas.  I'll have to work on those secretly.  For Maura I've been meaning to make Clucky the Chook, so that's in the works.  I'm thinking Travis would like some quilted letters, so I started on those too.  I'll post the pictures as I complete them.  It may be a little while because I just ordered even more new patterns and I'm having idea overload at the moment.  See you soon!

"dawdy yote!" - (aka doggie shirt)

Here is Travis modeling his newest 90 minute shirt.


I like these because the ribbed trim is so cute on him and the color possibilities are endless. I added the doggie on the front using a stencil I picked up at Michaels near the fabric paint.

90 minute shirt

Here is my first attempt at the 90 minute shirt. I found the directions on this blog which I now love! She is doing a month of posts all things you can make for boys. With 3 boys I have been so excited to check what she posts each day.

I love these colors on my little redhead. I can't wait to try another one.. I noticed one sleeve is shorter than the other! oops! This is great practice for using the serger on knits. It is made from an old T-shirt of my husband's, which I think is a great way to recycle.

Celebrate the boy!!! Check out these blogs:
