Baby Gifts for Three Babies
No, not triplets, three babies from three different moms (2 girls and 1 boy). Each were past co-workers of mine and one had her baby last month, one is due this month and the other is due next month.
Back when I started following I am Momma - Hear me Roar, I was intrigued by this technique and had to try it myself. And what a cute and individual gift for new moms and babies (three, at that!).
These "bottoms" were the source for my inspiration. I bought the green and pink pants at Kohl's and the shorts were from Target, each $2!
I bought the shirts at Target, Cherokee brand. They were each $5.
This hair clip goes with one of the girls' outfits. I used three pieces of fabric to create the flower and the button was in my "spare button" bag.
On this shirt, I used the same fabrics as I used on the hair clip, plus the addition of a button. I used Pellon Wonder Under to adhere the flower and leaves to the shirt. I hand-sewed the button on and sewed around the flower and leaves (just for added security). "Bloom" was made using the I am Momma - Hear me Roar "freezer paper stenciling technique".
To create this strawberry hair clip, I used felt for the strawberry and black floss for the seeds.
I made the strawberry using the freezer paper technique. I then used green fabric for the leaves; adhering it with Pellon Wonder Under and then I hand-sewed it. Like the hair clip, I used black floss for the seeds. "Sweet" was created using the freezer paper technique.
To make the turtle, I again used the freezer paper technique and then adhered the brown polka-dot fabric and sewed around it. I used the end of a paint brush to paint the face on. "Crawlin" was made with the freezer paper technique.
Sew creative! If I'd get my act together ahead of time maybe I could do this someday too. ;)
