Turkey Dinner ... to Cute to Eat.

This Thanksgiving, I wanted to do something kind of special for my daughter and my nephew. I found some pictures of a turkey hat on Google and I really wanted to make it for her so that she could wear it to Thanksgiving dinner. Well ... I could not find a patter, but I already have a pretty generic hat pattern in all sizes and thanks to the internet, found what else I needed to make the hat. So I set to work making it. Well when I was all done, I thought it would be cute if I made her a dress that looked like feathers to wear with it. So I measured my little girl and then came up with a dress pattern, based solely on things I found on the internet and my own creativity.

This is the end result.

One of her first smiles. She loves her dress!

This is a better pic of the hat.

And here is one of her dress.

It also helped that I had the cutest little girl to model my creations!

Happy Crafting!

Cowabunga!

Sorry its been awhile, but since I am the mom of a new baby ... its really hard to do anything but take care of her demanding personality. However ... I did take on a commission to make a teenage mutant ninja turtle.My sister wanted my to make one for her sons Christmas present. So I set about finding a pattern. Well we found one pretty quickly, but when I went to work up the pattern it was confusing and my turtle looked ... well off. So after crying for about two hours and ripping my hair out, my husband told me to try making my own. I have never ever done this before! I told him over and over how I wasn't creative enough and how my turtle would probably turn out worse then the original, but he encouraged me to try so I did.

Here is the finished project!

My husband loved him! I have to make some for him now. Considering it was my first pattern write up ... I thought I did pretty good. 

I think I might put my pattern on Etsy. 

Happy Crafting!
