Housewife Head Wrap

Thats what I think these should be called. If only I were able to get a better picture of someone wearing one , you would totally see what I mean. Especially when wearing a dress. I love them. Works great for a bad hair day, or growing out yer locks!
My grandmother had given a bunch of old fabric scraps, bias tape and just all kinds of stuff. I found this pretty silk head scarf in there. I loved it but it was a bit big. I thought if I could take it apart I could adjust the size and do it. I was so scared to mess that thing up, but it worked and easy peasy. I did it!

Also made a lil girls one  ( hmm cant find an image, perhaps cuz my lil girl wore hers for about a minute. not long enough to get a pic I guess)

And a baby bonnet. So cute!

GOLLY JEEPERS I DID IT,I DID IT

I manage to make a dress. I never thought I would be able to. Found a wonderful pattern from these ladies and i did it. I had a lil different idea, to make my straps tie instead and i opted to hem the bottom instead of do the bias tape. Whatevs. I always have so many ideas of variations when i get to making something. So i think these are the next things i will be working on to sell. I think i will start with shirts though.. or who knows... i'm wild and crazy like that.. 


 so here it is, I made this one a bit big for Nai. I went with the bigger size because sometimes even 4t doesnt fit right and ya never know.. but bigger is better for room to grow..

and TADA!

......and of course My Model!

HATS HATS HATS and more HATS

So the lovely ladies at Prudent Baby said I can make these hats to sell. I thank them so much because i LOOOOOve these hats. I have got to figure out  better picture taking techniques for my stuff. I do have a model though! You can find these for sale on my facebook page @Squirt Mcgurt Handmade. I am making more and the boys hats can be made with matching ties. Trying to decide what to match the girls with.. hmm

 They will soon be added to my big cartel store., and so will many more items. Im excited and I'm trying to build inventory. 

The hats are reversible

Here on my wonderful model are 2 boy hats shown with the reverse also..

I forgot to mention these dudes at Fuzzy Ink, all of the shirt has moustaches on them and they are great. Picked this  one up for the hubby!

Renegade Craft fair was a blast

I went by myself, sans kiddos. I wanted to be able to really look.
 These guys were there and they are awesome. I want this to be at my house for all birthday parties. Friends werent there yet so I took pics by my lonesome.. Whatevs I like pics!

Anyhoo, I finally got to meet Veronica that runs our sewing meetup group. Sewful Austin. She mentioned everyone sharing a booth, next go round. I think that sounds fantastic! How exciting!
