Mother's Day Craftiness...Part One

For Mother's Day this year, I extended my crafty-bentness toward homemade gifts for my mom and mom-in-law.  After much thought, I decided upon the Margaret Bag from Oh, Fransson!

I made a red one, naturally, for my mom using "Vera's Garden" from Robert Kaufman on the outside.  The lining is the gray "Dandelion" from Patty Young's Flora & Fauna line for Michael Miller fabrics.










And a teal one for my mother-in-law using "Falling Leaves" from Michael Miller fabrics.  The lining is the teal "Dandelion" fabric.







They turned out a bit larger than I expected, but fabulous (and fabulously received) all the same!

Another project...sort of!

What with all the birthdays happening at the beginning of the month, I've had little time to craft. I did make another quilt for my sister-in-law for her birthday.

Here's a re-work of a skirt I'd made earlier...and discovered it was MUCH to short for my little girl. I think it's even better than before!

More projects coming soon!

I picked up some supplies at Hobby Lobby today, so I'll be posting some more items soon :)

G's Easter pants

G needed some dress pants that would go over his cloth diaper booty. MADE to the rescue...Dana's awesome pants tutorial here.

I like them so much, I made two :)

Market skirts for E

For E's upcoming birthday, I tackled some Market Skirts from Made. I haven't added any pockets...may not do it!  They are super cute as is.

I made a light blue floral one:



and a seersucker one to match G's pants.

Felt doll diapers for Miss E

My daughter really wanted some diapers for her babies, and I saw a cute tutorial for them on kojodesigns.

I modified the design to put snaps on them...all I had was extra strength velcro, which would have been very difficult for E's little fingers!

Rag quilt for T

I made this rag quilt for my sister's birthday.  It's warm and cozy, and I hope she likes it!
