Repurposed Sweaters to Diaper Covers

June 8, 2009

Jean from The Artful Parent made these super-cute cloth diaper covers from thrifted sweaters! I used cloth with both of mine, but the wool soakers were always a little too spendy for me. Repurposing sweaters is a wonderful alternative! Jean was very kind to link to the patterns and tutorials that she used, so go on over and be sure to read through the comments for a great discussion on the benefits of using wool to cover baby’s bottom!

How to Make Felt Flower Clips

May 29, 2009

koalabrainsfeltflowerhairclip

These felt flower clips from Koala Brains are so stinkin’ sweet I can hardly stand it! I’ve made other hair clippies in the past, but my oldest girl refuses to wear them. I’m hoping my little one will be more obliging because these are seriously cute. I’m thinking they’d also look great attached to a headband. :)  Look here for the link to her tutorial.

Poodle Skirt

May 19, 2009

beelievepoodleskirt

This poodle skirt from Beelieve is absolutely fabulous. There’s nothing particularly fancy about the construction of the skirt…in fact she chose some very simple methods (yay!). But the poodle. Good gracious, that poodle is killing me. And I love the significance of the unhooked leash. I’m gushing because I love this skirt! Go see it here and be sure to read the words (yes, I’m talking to you “picture reader” types!), because it really was interesting to read how she made it.

Prolonging the Life of Girl’s Tees

May 10, 2009

juliekundhishirtlengthen

I’m amazed at how quickly my little girls grow out of their clothes. Usually the shirts get handed on down or donated, but for those extra special tees, I think this wardrobe refashion from Julie Kundhi may be perfect keeping them around a little longer. Go to her blog to read about how she added a pretty ruffle to add length to her daughter’s shirt!
