Big Bro and Little Bro

Tomorrow is the day we meet Roger. We are so excited! I will now be sewing for two little boys. The first matching shirts they will wear are little bro and big bro. I liked this applique because it was a little different.

 Of course, Roger's is a onesie and Stuart's is a big 18 month.

Happy Sunday!

Onesies

I wanted to do some onesies for Roger. His mommy wanted me to do one with a bow tie and suspenders. I found a bow tie, but not with suspenders. I decided to use ribbon for the suspenders. I had to be sure and measure the ribbon long enough so his shorts or pants will cover the bottom to give the look she wants.

 I think it turned out cute.

This one has the circle with the alligator and name. I used brown gingham for the circle and green for the gator. I haven't done too many onesies, but once you start it's so much fun.

Have a great Sunday!

A Wreath for Roger

 I wanted to make a wreath for Susan to have when Roger is born. I am not the most creative person but I thought I would give it a try. I looked at several on Pinterest and combined two. I liked the burlap and ribbon but decided to add the wooden letter.

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the supplies I needed. I found the burlap in the Christmas ribbon section. I picked up some extra blue and brown ribbon as well. I had a good bit in my stash, but wanted to be sure that I would have enough to make it nice and full.

It wasn't hard at all. I wrapped the foam wreath with burlap and then added the ribbon so it would be half way around. I didn't measure the ribbon because I found that the length would be determined by the type of ribbon. Hope that makes sense. I then painted and added the R. I am pleased for this to be my first try.

Have a great weekend!
