Fancy Nancy

This robe was made for my niece, who like my daughters loves Fancy Nancy.  I learned how make bias tape here.  The hood lining and bias tape are made from Fancy Nancy fabric. 

Purple & Pink Dots

This is the robe I made for my daughter.  No hood on this one.  It was here I learned that making robes with sleeves is difficult.  It's easy to get the sleeves too long.  The robes are made from towels.  Here I used a large beach towel and store bought bias tape.

Polka Dots

Sometime in early 2012 I stumbled upon a robe pattern here.  I had just purchased a robe for my older daughter and decided it might be fun to make one for her sister.  I also decided that this would make an excellent gift for all the preschool birthday parties we were starting to attend.  This was my first one, and it was actually a gift for friend.  Since this one was gifted in March 2012, I have made countless robes - most of them have left our house without a photograph.  Most of them have had hoods with short sleeves.

This pair of bibs is for a co-worker who is expecting a baby girl next month (Sept 2013).  I learned at a recent staff picnic that she was feeling overwhelmed with all the pink.  So I decided to make something "girly" but not pink.  What I love most about this pair is the tree on the back.  I think it's just adorable, if I do say so myself.

Fishy in the Ocean; Fishy in the Sea

This pair is for a co-worker.  She is expecting a baby boy later in August.  The blue fabric with fish is left over from a robe I made for my nephew.  The shark on the front is cut out from this fabric.  The sale boat on the back of the bibs is my first attempt at traditional applique. 

Case IH - Flowers & Monogram

These were made for my new niece (born 5/2013; given as a gift 7/2013) .  I've had the fabric for over a year - just waiting for the right opportunity to use it.  The flower stem on the leg was my first attempt at using the decorative stitches on my machine.
