sew darn cute

Remember me saying something about doing a book review of Sew Darn Cute? Sorry it took me so long. Here's what I made.

My version of the Necklace Tank. Such a cute idea. Since there is no pattern, just instructions, I made my own. Appropriately sized circles to fit on a bunch of baby onesies. I also omitted the buttons around the neckline since it's for baby.

I love using my fabric scraps. That's what drew me to this sewing idea. These little pieces were from the baby booties that I make. When do you think a piece of fabric is too small to keep? I can never seem to part with them.


I used my little shot glass from Belgium to draw half circles onto the fusible webbing. My glasses are often used as circle patterns. I sometimes have to get a few glasses out to get just the right size. Use what you've got, right!


And here is a cute pink version. Can you tell that is Amy Butler fabric? I love that they have such a sweet vintage touch, but I can use new fabrics and they have that same feel. They have been a hit in my shop. I have even made a few custom onesies with booties to match.

So, yes, I do love this book! I plan to also make a few more items from it. Like the super cute doll quilt at the end of the book. It's made using vintage sheets, and I happen to have a few of those.
