My love monster!

Ok so any excuse I get to dress my lil monster up & take pics.. I do it.. Yup I'm that kind of mama.. :)
For Valentine's day I created a tie and matching diaper cover for my little love monster. You can actually buy my pattern piece fabric at spoonflower.com! I cut out the diaper cover and just added elastic around the leg openings and the waist. The tie just cut two pieces and sew together, then flip inside out and iron those tie creases and just hand stitch the inside so it stays in place.
Here he is my lil love monster!

Super Bowl champs! NY Giants!

Go Giants! Even babies have to root for their team too! I can not tell you how hard it was to find a baby jersey/ bodysuit the few weeks before the Super Bowl soo being the crafty mama I am.. I made a faux jersey for my lil man!
I used the iron on interfacing with the sticky back. Stuck the fabric on the sticky side then cut out the ny ( giants logo) stripes for the arms, and of course the back had to have a number and his name! All on just a plain white bodysuit iron on, then I recommend sewing a quick straight stitch around appliqués. Fabric I used was actually the extra I cut from a man's giants tee to make mine a little more girlie! :)

Mama can match their little boys too!

Soo I had this gray & black striped dress from H&M! I can not even tell you how many times I wore this dress.. Even when I was preggo.. Anyways I was tired of it so I decided to try something for my lil man too! I cut the dress, so it would be a shirt for me, then used the bottom hem to make pants for my baby.Find the tutorial here! 
  I used the extra I had to make a tie and just sewed it on a bodysuit! Hey if little girls can match their mommies, why can't boys right! Lol
