I Heart Babies

It's true, I do love cute little chubby babies. The skinny ones too!

I go through crafty stages and since November I've been swimming in applique. It's so much fun to do!

I started off making this bib for my son William. Then we made a smaller one for his buddy James.

Then we moved on to some of my other favorite things- Fruit and Mickey.

One thing to learn is that if you are a procrastinator like me don't iron the fabric onto your adhesive and then let your shapes sit for months like I did the Mickey heads (and some more monsters, and Frankenstein, and reindeer). The paper is a bugger to get off! I'd recommend using the no-sew Heat n' Bond on the chenille. It's gets a tighter hold and you can still sew it down and the applique won't crumple up while trying to do so.

My favorite is the apple bib, onesie, and burp cloth set. The chenille make a ridiculous mess and when your vacuum find it's too taxing to vacuum up an entire room it's kind of the pits...which reminds me I need to go see if Mr. Vacuum is up to doing the rest of the room now or if he's taken the rest of the day off.

That's all for today. I've got a stack of shirts to do too so there will be more to come. Two of which are super late birthday gifts. Whoops. I do have non-applique related posts coming soon as well. :)
