Doll Diapers

I told some of the bloggers I would post a picture of the doll diaper cover epattern I bought. http://purplelizarddesign.blogspot.com/2009/06/pattern-doll-diapers.html
I have a pattern very similar to this for babies. This site sells thier patterns. If you would like some made let me know and I will send you some infor on the doll and baby diapers. The doll diapers fit the cabbage patch dolls.

Brady Boy Board Shorts

I finally made time to make the little boy pirates themed shorts. I chose the name for the shorts after one of my grandsons Brady.
He is in this picture with his big sis Makayla.
The shorts are a size 5, for $18 if anyone is interested buying a size 5 or you can custom order sizes 3-8.



I will be adding a matching tee shirt with an applique of pirates. The price for the applique t-shirt will be $15. The appliques are cut from the same fabric the shorts were made with. If you are interested in a different fabric let me know and I will send you my fabric options.

The camera I used was actually my cell phone. The picture do not show the true color which is turquoise and the pocket is brown. My camera is not working hope to get one for Mother's Day I have hinted around enough.

Thanks you for all the visits and followers to my blog. A couple of weeks ago I only had 143 page views. Now I am at 2,015 page views. Unbelievable thank all of you so much. I especially want to thank The Adventures of J-Man and MillerBug for heading me in the right direction just by joining thier team on Etsy. They are great mentors. HUGS TO ALL!

My Newest Projects - Pirates

Here is a sneek peek of the project. Ok the pirates are upside down. I will take some more pictures as I am working on the outfit and hopefully they will not be upside down

Pink Poodle Bows ePatterns

A friend of mine is one of the talented epattern designers I was talking about in my previous post. Her shop is Pink Poodle Bows on Etsy. I have added a widget advertising her shop. I think I have her talked into setting up a blog for herself. Check her out when you get a chance. If you don't sew and like one of the patterns for some sweet child get the pattern and I will set you up with a custom order and we will get it done for that precious child. I fabric options or you can get your own. Get ready to go shopping because I will have it set up soon.

Loving My New Web Design

Can you tell I am just a little excited about my new web design by Ms.Danielle Design she has a button on this blog.
If you are thinking of a new design for your blog you really should get in touch with her. She is very patient too because I have bugged the stuff out of her with all my questions. But she never indicated I was a bother. Shoot,I new I was! So with this web page design I got a button that you guys can grab and put on your blog so you can think of me everyday. Oh I know that's not what it is for. But please use it every once in a while. SOMEONE and I will not say who ;) teased me because I had a very large collection of buttons. I think I grabbed one from every blog I landed on.

But it is almost finished now I just need to put some ready made items on my shop page here on blog shop. Then give my viewers some info on the custom order page. You can send me your pattern and fabric or you can choose from a selection of designs I have from some very talented epattern designers or I can give you the name of a pattern designer so you can check out thier patterns for yourself. So let's get it done. On to other business.



Thanks For Visiting Mamaw

My Weekend Blog Hopping

I must confess I have my days and nights mixed up. I find it easier to do my sewing at night because there is way less interuptions. But since I have become a team leader on Children Are Our Future Team on Etsy I really need to spend more daytime hours ion focusing on the team.
Well it isn't working well because I didn't set my alarm clock when I went to bed at 8am yesterday morning and I ended up sleeping until 12:30am this morning. Now that is unreal. I can't believe I slept that long. Same on me!
Since I have been up this morning I decided to do some Blog Hops. The one I am doing this morning and this weekend is from blogger Heartfelt Balance Handmade Life. I have done the first seven of the blog hop. I have come across some wonderfully entertaining and educational blogs. You must do this blog hop. The people are great. The one I enjoyed the most was Scrappy Mom, Home of OHM Blog, she was number 7 on the list below. I grabbed one of her buttons, be sure to check her out she needs followers too.
Check out my shop if you have time. Follow Me. Subscribe to my blog. Let's get this blog to going. HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND

I decided I needed a new sewing machine cover.  I bought some cute fabric from

Custom designed by me because I wanted to keep the flatbed extension on my machine.  It kinda looks like a delivery truck, a cute delivery truck.  So here is the finished cover.  Don't be too critical please I very seldom do something for myself.   If you would like to order one let me know. I should add it to my shop.

This is a brand new shop on etsy and she has some really cute crocheted hair clips for little girls.  She has stars, flowers and butterflies.  She even offers for you to choose the colors and the type of hair clip.  You can even get them without the barretts and use them for other things.  I bought some of the butterflies.  I plan to give as gifts to my customers.

Trotter Sweet Peas - Boutique Double Ruffled Pants

I just purchased this pattern from Trotter Sweet Peas on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/trottersweetpeas

It was a very easy pattern to follow and the finished product is darling.
I plan on using this pattern alot.  I am going to try and get a pair made for two of my grandbabies. 
I made a size 18m /2T but pattern has sizes 18months/2T, 3T/4T, 5T/6. I will be adding this outfit to my shop. The reason I say outfit is because I  added a fabric
 bow to a size 24month white tee shirt to go with the pants.
 I still have to finish the pants but I wanted to go ahead and put on my blog.

New Fabric for The Boys - Farmall Tractors

My darling husband decided to buy fabric while he was in town today.  LOL
He bought some fabric with little boys driving International Harvester Farmall Tractors.  He wanted me to make shorts for little boys with the fabric but the print is too large and it is stripes going cross ways.  I really don't think it will work.  But it will make a cute quilt for a little boy. 

Please give me your advice on what I should make with this fabric!

"What Happens On My Tractor Stays On My Tractor"


Disney Pixar Cars Pillowcase

I just made a really cute pillowcase to match the Cars Quilt I made a while back.


Disney Pixar Cars Quilt


This Cars pillowcas has a red Cars band of fabric between the the two blue fabrics.
