Stacy Had a Little Lamb

I have been sewing away!!! :) I am so excited to be apart of Sewing to Rebuild!!!

Here is what I have made so far.









I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this bag!! It has to be my favorite one that I have ever made (and I have made TONS)!!! I think it's the fabric. I need to try to find some more. This was donated (along with a bunch more) last year by a fabulous lady! ;) 2 of my good friends donated a lot last year to help out with Bags of Hope and Love. I haven't given up on that. I just need to settle in and see if I can find some people that are willing to help out with it. I could reach so many kids if I had just a few people willing to help out. ;)











Here is my little lamb!!! This is the very first stuffed toy that I have ever made!! I LOVE IT!!!



I used this tutorial -



Little lambs from Molly’s Sketchbook 

I made a few minor changes.

1- I used fleece instead of felt. It is sooo sooo sooo soft. Now I need to buy more because the Cs both want one... LOL

2- I used the 4 leg pieces to make 4 legs instead of 2.

3- I added a little, bitty tail.



I am now in the middle of an outfit to go with this set. I decided to make shorts with a matching top. I am making the shorts the way I always make them but they are girl shorts so they aren't as long as I would make them for Colin. I realize yesterday that I have never made shorts for Cailey! LOL  I've made everything BUT shorts!! You can find the tutorial HERE. If you feel better using a pattern I suggest THIS ONE from Squiggly Twigs Designs. You might recognize the model at the top of the page. ;) There are also some free patterns on Pattern Revolution. I have never made any of those patterns so I can't say how easy they are.

HAVE FUN SEWING!!! I sure am! ;)

HAVE FUN SEWING!!!!!



It's going to be soooooo hard to figure out what to sew first!!!!

Toys to Sew

I have decided that I want to sew 6 bags and fill each of them with a sewn toy and at least one article of clothing. Wish me luck!! LOL

I am going to make the bags that I made for Bags of Hope and Love. I'll be making the drawstring bags for boys and totes for girls.

If you want to see my tutorial click HERE. 

I don't think I ever did a tutorial for the totes so I will be working on that. ;)

I have never sewn a toy..... But I am determined to make it work! ;) Pattern Revolution has some links to free patterns and tutorials but I found a TON on Pinterest!!!

Here are just some of them. ;)
