Pajama Monsters

I found this pattern on Pinterest for pajama monsters from Sew Fearless. The have zippered mouths so you can put your pajamas in them in the morning, and then they give them back at night!

I'm glad I did them with the minkee fabric. I think that gives them a "real stuffed animal" look, plus they are so nice to hug.

I let the boys pick out their own colors. Obviously, William's favorite color is red and I think the only color Luke knows really well is orange. Which is funny to me because that was the first color Will learned too.

It was a pretty simple pattern, and easy to understand, but I did make some adjustments on the second one that made it better. First of all, you don't need a yard of the main fabric at all. A half yard should do fine, I have tons of leftover. Second, the feet are too big and the legs too poofy. On my second one, I cut the soles a little more foot-shaped, and I cut much less fabric for the legs. By the way, so you can tell in the pictures, the orange one was first and the red one is a little improved.

Overall, they turned out great and the boys love them! Maybe these will help them keep their room clean... but I doubt it.

Christmas Quilt

This is the quilt I have been working on recently. This one will not be put in the shop because I only had enough fabric for one and I love it too much. But I do have leftover fabrics that I will be making pillows and other things in time for next Christmas.

Luke's Blanket

I finished my baby Luke's quilt. It is made with Riley Blake fabrics from the Wheels collection and I made it with a raw edge technique. The fabric on the back is flannel and it make the blanket so soft! The exposed edges are fun for his little fingers to play with. Look for one in the shop soon for you!

These will be in the mail someday...

Someday I will mail Abby her birthday present. These were made before her birthday on March 3rd (right Amanda?) and these poor owls have been in my closet since. Amanda or Abby, if you are reading this, I'm sorry. I'll mail them when you send me the picture you promised me before christmas.
