I love to make crafty gifts for people...that is when I have the time. On Saturday we had two parties, a baby shower and a birthday party for one of MC's classmates. Earlier in the week I was thinking on what to get, when I realized I had all the supplies needed to make a few crafty gifts. These gifts really only required a little time. The first was a little stitched shirt for a friend's baby. I have made these in the past and love how they look so sweet on a little one.
They are pretty easy to make, and when I get a chance I will do a quick tutorial on them. I need to work on on another one anyway for baby Jack! If you would rather buy one here is where I was inspired....Tiny Sprouts.
For Molly Cate's friend we made a little crayon roll. MC helped me choose the fabric from my stash and we followed the tutorial from The Pleated Poppy. I did not have flannel lining so I used some iron on interfacing. It worked just great! MC was really into this project, she also picked out the button. A kid sized sewing machine is on her wish list!
Who does not love crayons?? One of my favorite things are fresh school supplies, so this picture just makes me a giddy!
Maybe this has inspired you to be crafty on a cold winter day??
so cute! I used to love picking out new crayons, pencils, and markers each school year. It's great you can make such cute items to give as gifts!
