When my youngest sister was little--in the 80s---she was so into strawberry shortcake! I am enjoying the resurgence of that little cutie! So I got this flannel to sew up into little blankets, and couldn't resist making a cupcake hat to go with the aqua, pink and reds in it. The little cherries on top are from a vintage curtain that I had already recycled!
Here's another hat I actually made awhile back and hadn't been inspired for the flower...Then I found this kitten-soft pink yarn...I mean SO soft...I've made up a couple of these triple flowers...they kinda look like peonies to me. The white yarn was being discontinued...it is corn and cotton. When I think of corn fiber, I don't think soft!!!! But this stuff is softer than most cottons. I just loved it and bought everything they had left. The flannels in both pictures are for little baby kimono lounge sets I am thinking...they are so sweet!
The third new hat I have made lately is like another one but people were asking for all pink roses (why not?!) and this one is gorgeous with the Christmas Rose outfit I made.
I'm really loving how the pants turned out...my first use of crinkled seam binding on my clothing!! Well, that's really about all I have been up to lately---sewing for the holidays! You can check out my etsy shop by clicking on the side links if you want to see more. XXOO.....Kathi
