A Few Creations

Hello everyone,
Just thought I would drop by and share a few creations that I whipped up in the past couple of days. My niece's birthday is right around the corner, so I thought that I would make her, my daughter, and my other niece a few tutus. I used a mix of several tutorials that I found online, and here is the end result.

Aside from these, I also made a few warm hats out of some knit fabrics I picked up at Joann's. It was my first time sewing knit fabric, and using zigzag stitch for most of a project (I'm a rookie at sewing remember?). The end result turned out very neat however, and I am so pleased. I cant wait to see them on my little munchkin. For these little hats, I used the following tutorial from Prudent Baby: Top Knot Hat Baby Tutorial
And here are the pictures:

They can be worn either with the bottom folded up, or just as is...
And last but not least, I just made a little heart pillow with a heart pocket to send off for the birthday girl along with her tutu. I got the tutorial at Prudent Baby as well, and it is from the following link: Scarlet's How to Sew a Heart Pillow Tute
This is what mine looks like:

The fabric that I used for this is from Alexander Henry which I purchased from Fabricworm
What have you created lately? Have a great day!!!

FABRICS!

I apologize that I haven't been posting for a couple of months...
I had a couple of health related issues, but I'm here now, and I am ready to share my new fabrics with you...
The first set of fabrics are an array of yards that I purchased from Joann's...

I love all of these fabrics and feel that they open up a world of possibilities for all different projects..
The following is a small blanket that is embroidered.. I found it at a thrift store, and it was too cute to leave behind.

Next, I have a gorgeous Alexander Henry print that I purchased from someone on Etsy.

Excuse the terrible pictures... I am working on the camera situation....
The following sets of fabric are some of my favorite. I purchased several Alexander Henry prints from the cutest couple which own a fabric shop called My Heart and Sew (I purchased these online from their site).

Up next are some of the most adorable fabrics... I purchases these from superbuzzy.com They are some Japanese prints and though I had to wait a bit for them to arrive, they are totally worth it...

And last but not least is the Alexander Henry collection I purchased from fabricworm.com
This pixie collection is amazing...

Thank You for spending time with my! I hope you love my fabrics as much as I do... now, what to do with them.... hmmm....?

Fabric Addict

Hi, my name is Deysi, and I am hooked on fabric... Ahhh! I love it. I feel like it just talks to me. I feel a beauty that just radiates off of it, and if I love a fabric, I just feel that I must have it. I was tired of getting your average fabrics at Joann Fabrics, etc., so I began searching online for Japanese children prints (my favorite because I have a young son and a very young daughter). I found two great sites that have great selections. One being fabricworm.com, and the other is superbuzzy.com.

I believe my top three designers (at the moment) would be:
1. Alexander Henry
2. Michael Miller
3. Melody Miller

I ordered Alexander's Pocket Pixie Collection, and I will post pics when I receive it.
Just thought I would share some good sources. Where do you get awesome fabrics?
Oh yeah, almost forgot, thrift stores, and Etsy are great too!

PS: I ordered a new charger for my camera, which is why I have not posted any pics of projects and awesomeness yet...I'm hoping it gets here really soon.
