More Appliques!

Here are a few more projects that I have been doing (at some point the house work will get done!)  I simply cut the letters and dots on my Cricut machine and then sewed around them.  Too easy and Too stinkin cute!

 Back of the shirts

 Front--simple one letter with a few little polka dots

 I added ribbon to the sleeves to add a little spunk and make it more girly.

 How cute is this!  Took me under 5 minutes to make the onsie!  I just cut out the tie and then ironed it on then quickly went around the edges with my sewing machine to make it permanent! 

Applique Pillow Cases

These are super cute and fun for little girls!  I simply cut out letters using my Cricut machine.  You first have to spray starch your material and let it dry.  Then iron on either lite or heavy Heat & Bond and then your fabric feels like paper!  I put my machine on a level 5 for cutting, low speed and went from there!  Then of course after you cut the letters out you iron them onto your fabric and then quickly sew around the edges.  Super easy and super cute!! 

You need:

Heat & Bond--Heavy or Lite either works.  Lite is really lite and requires sewing and heavy "says" that you don't have to sew and that it is permanent, but I have found that some materials don't bond as well as others

Material-I would go buy quilting squares.  I just used the material I had on hand, but in the future I will go buy fabric all in the same color family to make it look more together.

Ribbon--if you want to add it to the top--totally optional though

Clothespins "Pins"

I am in love with making these!  It is super quick and easy.

Itms needed:

Mod Podge

Glue gun

scissors

material

2/3 in. ribbon

clothespins

paintbrush/foam brush

magnets

 1.  take your clothespin and lay it down on the material.  Trace it with a pen and then repeat with whatever fabric you lke.  If you want to make it super simple, use 2/3 in. ribbon, which fits perfectly/  All you do there is measure the length.
2.  Cut out material/ribbon.
3. Put a layer of Mod on the clothespin and stick the material/ribbon on it.
4.  Go back and then aply another layer of Mod on top of the material to seal it.  Cover all the edges!
5.  If you want to make it a magnet glue a strip of magnet onto the back with a glue gun after it dries.

Finished Product

Add these to gifts as tags or use them on the fridge for a spice of color.  You can even use them in your child's lunch box or to clip chip bags!
