free pattern: Simple Kimono Wrap by Habitual
Size 0-6 months. Great tutorial, sew easy and so adorable. Main fabric is a repurposed shirt of my dad's and some Joel Dewberry scraps. I've made a couple of these now and I'd like to make the Simple Sundress later on.

Size 0-6 months. I love these, but I'm not sure about their practicality or how well they will stay on, so I won't make any others right now.
Etsy pattern: The Best Bib by JCasa
This is one of several bibs I made with quilting scraps. They've all turned out nicely and I love that they are quilted.

Easy and practical for a winter baby. I bought the socks on clearance at Target, $7 for 4 pairs.
Easy and practical for a winter baby. I bought the socks on clearance at Target, $7 for 4 pairs.
Size 3-6 months. This is my first sweater. With help from online videos, the seaming was surprisingly manageable. I used an inexpensive, easy wash yarn, TLC Cotton Plus (being a white sweater and all), and added a fabric rose (following Sandi Henderson's instructions). There is some curling at the bottom that is bothersome. I added a row of single crochet which helped but did not entirely fix the problem. Not perfect, but not too shabby for my first sweater.
Peanut, the wee elephant from Last Minute Patchwork + Quilted gifts
I've made this pattern for gifts so many times, and I never tire of the end result! This time he's made with leftover Amy Butler Lotus and cotton chenille fabric, stuffed with 1" pieces of extra quilt batting. My sister-in-law gave us a small stuffed giraffe that is a perfect elephant companion.
