Warmer weather means all of the spring babies will be back! I have seen at least 5 adult rabbits in the backyard. Let's just hope they are smart enough to built their burrows far from Ginger's reach. Dead baby bunnies, never fun.
This spring, I learned that I will also be getting a new niece! Yea! It is always so much fun to have access to them yet, not be fully responsible for them. Heehee.:) With that said, I have been sewing up a few little gifts for my niece. Since my sister's youngest is now 6 and her baby things are long gone. I thought a few handmade gifts from Aunt Kristin was an absolute necessity.
Inspired by the flowers, spring and little girls, I sewed up this little pink sundress. I think I have just enough fabric to make her sister a matching sundress. How Cute would that be? The pattern calls for a little lace and possibly ribbon, nothing that cannot be machine washed. I am holding back on that decision until I sew up her sister's dress.
I mentioned that this week I started taking an online curves class with Stitched In Color, yesterday's project fit right in with my baby sewing obsession,...BIBS.
These 2 little purple cuties were sewn up in a hurry. Trying to keep my ever growing stash at bay I used up some princess flannel I had. All little girls need princess bibs. Just in case she doesn't like princesses, I thought I'd add a pretty purple flower bib to her collection.
The curves were easy. Honestly, the worst part was sewing on the snaps! How I can manage to poke myself 5 times using a needle and thread I'll never know. Next stop. JoAnn's for some thimbles. Do they make steel tipped thimbles for your thumbs?

What a pretty little gift set! You could try velcro or pounded instead of sewn snaps if you like =). But, I'll admit, I admire you for sewing the snaps!
