Woman's tank-top onto toddler dress

i finished this gift with time to spare :). Saturday was my Great Niece Kara's 1st birthday. I used one of Nola's Old Navy dresses for a pattern guide and whipped up this blue dress from a women's tank-top i picked up at the Variety Storefor $4!

The design on the bottom is from a linoleum blockprimt i did in high school. I scanned a print into my fave photo editing software, removed the color and upped the contrast. Then I printed it on Iron-On Transfer paper. A lil' ironing and i was done!

Claire's 1st Birthday Present, Doll

Baby Shower Gift

Mrs Lynette Milligan is expecting her frst baby this august! The ladies gathered yesterday for her shower, these two onesies were part of my gift.

The 'i love bella' pic was pulled from Lynette's Facebook into Photoshop where I added the text. On the lavender onesie, i used my badass embroidery machine to stitch 'baby milligan' next to the hand sewn rosette.

I'm ready to start a local Stitch and Bitch. What's your craft specialty?
