Corinne's "Just Because" Pillowcase

A few weeks ago while chatting on Google Chat, Corinne asked me to make her another pillowcase with either "owls, cows, horses, or buttons" on it. With help from her mom, we narrowed it down to cows or horses.

I looked, but I could not find anything with cows that didn't also have pigs, chickens, sheep, and other farm animals on it. But when it came to horses...

Pink, purple, some glitter... perfect for a horsey little girl! (Her Grammy may get some of this fabric for herself.)

Ian's Birthday Pillowcase

Bright yellow for Ian!

It is hard to find birthday fabric that isn't girly-girl. I think he'll like this.

The Quads' Easter Pillowcases

Easter is coming early this year so it was a bit of a scramble to get the Easter pillowcases done so soon after St. Patrick's Day.

Cambria's is on the left and Julie's is on the right.

Ian's is the green with bunnies, and the Easter egg one is for Drew Thomas.

This one of for Analise Thomas.

JC's Birthday Pillowcase

JC turns fifteen this month. I wasn't sure if he wanted a birthday pillowcase, but I offered it to him, telling him that it would not hurt my feelings if he didn't want one.

He did! He chose the black fabric (the same I used for Braden.)

The Quads' St. Patrick's Day Pillowcases

These are the pillowcases I made for Julie, Cambria, and Ian for St. Patrick's Day.

Cambria and Julie got the white ones and Ian the green on the left. The yellow one in the middle was made for Annalise Thomas and her brother, Drew, got a green one like Ian's.

Trinity's Birthday Pillowcase

Despite the fact that they're youth and not kids, Trinity and JC both said that they wanted me to sew pillowcases out of birthday fabric for them. Trin's birthday is at the end of this month, so I made hers Monday night.

She's turning thirteen this week - hard to believe!

A K'tan for Mila

I made Vanessa a k'tan baby wrap for her birthday. She picked out the fabric and found some directions online, and away we went.

Only the directions were WAY off when it came to measurements, and I had to resize the k'tan four times. (An easy process, luckily.)

 I love the polka dots!

 Visually, I thought the back looked really nice.

 Safety is key when stitching - you don't want something giving way and the baby falling out. Everything was double stitched and edged.

There's a third piece (not shown) that can also be used to wrap around the baby for added support and protection.

The k'tan is easy to make (Vanessa suggested I open an Easy shop and sell them) and I may make more in the future - they'd be nice baby gifts!
