Made With Love

I’ve got some handmade gifts thrown in with my store bought gifts for Christmas.   I already showed you one here.  This can be done as a “no sew” project, but because I used remnants {and decided to add a trim} there was sewing involved for me.  This is the pattern I purchased on Etsy.

When I found these two fleece fabrics in the Joann’s remnant bins, I knew I had to get them and make something with them.  I couldn’t resist the “I Love Grandma” for my granddaughter {which I had already cut into before I remembered to take a picture}.

My daughter loves owls so I knew I had to come up with something for her as well.  Ponchos seemed the easiest thing to do other than a fleece throw.  I actually used a poncho I found at Goodwill to get the size to cut for my granddaughter’s.

I had to sew this one together {front to back} because of the way the remnant was cut.  I also sewed around the neckline and added this really cute pink pompom trim.

Whenever I see pompom trim it reminds me of curtains my Mom made for the bedroom I shared growing up in Brooklyn.   I have it positioned on my little wire mannequin, which is probably too little, hence the clothespins holding it on.

Here is the owl one for my daughter.  More pompom trim on this one ~ in purple.

I am modeling this one since I don’t have a full size mannequin.    This was the last gift and I’m glad to say I’m done!
