Toodee Transformation

Lucia's favorite shirt is her Toodee shirt.

Whenever she picks out her clothes & this shirt is in the drawer, guaranteed it's the one she chooses. Throughout the Spring the Toodee shirt kept getting shorter & shorter on her, to the point where it was starting to look a little silly.

So I decided to transform the shirt into something she can always have.

The Toodee shirt transformed into a pillow.

It took me about half a nap time to complete.

Looking at the finished product I maybe should have rounded the corners instead of squaring them. Oh well.

I surprised Lucia & gave it to her when I went to get her up from her nap.

I am so happy she likes it so much. She's been bebopin' around with it since she got it.

Krinkle Krinkle Wooby

Red fleece with different black, red & white patterned ribbons. The ribbons vary slightly in widths & texture. Cellophane is sewed inside for that krinkle babies love.

All my friends with babies or that are expecting, watch out . . . a krinkle krinkle wooby just might be headed your way . . . if I can pull them away from Emilio that is!

The Saddle

My first major project. A ring sling, or as we like to call it, the saddle, at our house. I got the directions online. It was really not too difficult for this newbie. The hardest thing was to sew the two very long (2.5yard) hems. It took me 2 days worth of nap times to complete.

Originally the tail was pretty long. Too long for my liking. I ended up cutting it shorter and rehemming. it's much less bulky without the long tail.

With the tail scraps I made a quick little drawstring storage bag for it.

The saddle is not as comfortable as my moby, but it works great for quick trips to the store & it is a more compact the take along in the diaper bag.
