Crib bumper

Occasionally, I take custom orders to make things like crib sets. Here is a crib bumper I finished last night. So cute. Remind me to post more crib bedding sets.   Fabric: Clouds by Gunila Axén Bead Stripe in Gray Fabric by Lotta Jansdotter

Chef outfit

Pattern: Ottobre 1/12013 #17 Chef Emil jacket, #18 King of the Kitchen hat, #19 Relazed pants Fabric: Thick white rodeo cotton 1.375 yds $6.59 (JoAnn Fabrics), 70% polyester/30% cotton black gingham check 3/4 yd (~ $4.00 Hancock Fabrics) Notions: 7 blue buttons for jacket, 3 tan buttons for pants, elastic for back of pant's waitband Total Cost: ~$11.00 Size: 104cm jacket, 52cm hat, 92cm pants Child's Age: 3 --------------------------------------------------------- I decided to make this chef's outfit for Super Disgusting's 3rd birthday because he's at that age where he loves playing with the toy kitchen and bringing me orders of food.  Also because I'm up to my eyeballs in plastic toys that are literally going to put me in the looney house and I had no desire to buy him any more.  So he gets the hand-me-down plastic play kitchen and a new chef outfit.  Is that lame?  It's all about managing expectations.
