34 Weeks

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did! I'm feeling great and I'm super hungry so I really enjoyed Turkey Day this year.

December GIVEAWAY!!

To celebrate the launch of our site, we're going to offer a special GIVEAWAY in December!  We'll be revealing our December giveaway item this weekend, so check back to find out what adorable freebie you could score from Mommy's Little Love!!

5 Minute Project - DIY Turkey Bow

Here's a simple 5 minute project! All you need is a few fall colored ribbons, a glue gun, little eyes, and LOVE!

I used:

Brown material as the turkey body and made 2 copies of the pattern (so I could glue ribbon inside the body for a cleaner look)

7 pieces of ribbon (5 inch lengths, 3 different colors and widths)

Arrange the ribbon in a "strutting" pattern using the glue gun

Add the top layer of the "body" and add eyes and a nose

Glue a hair clip to the back (I secure with a seperate piece of ribbon)

Holiday Tie & Suspenders shirts - PREVIEW!

I know its not even Thanksgiving yet...but I'm already getting excited for Christmas!  We have several variations of the adorable Tie & Suspenders shirts for infants and boys available on our Etsy site for only $12.  Check them out!

33 Weeks

I can't believe we're already 33 weeks along! This week, we did holiday photos with Candi's cousin JT.  Obviously, we had to sneak in a few "pregnancy" shots.  These were from Portrait Simple.

Turkey Day Tie & Suspenders shirt

We're so excited for TURKEY DAY! In less than a week we'll all be enjoying all that yummy food...and spending time with family and friends...what a perfect holiday!  These adorable Turkey Day Tie & Suspenders shirts are available on my Etsy site for $12 just click here if you'd like one.

These shirts are SUPER easy to make.  Its another "no-sew" project and you can use variations of the fabrics for different occasions/holidays or everyday.  Here's what you'll need:

Fabric

Heat and Bond paper

Iron

Scissors

Eyes

Glue gun

Fray Block (optional)

-Draw a tie patter (I usually make one based on the size shirt I'm using...this one is a 2-4 yr boys shirt from H&M).

-Transfer Tie patter to Heat and Bond paper and cut out an appropriate size fabric (leave some excess on patter)

-Put iron on medium and place heat and bond traced tie over wrong side of fabric for 6 seconds

-When cooled, cut out the tie pattern

-Peel paper off Heat and Bond and then place on shirt and iron on (about 10 seconds)

For suspenders:

-I used 2.5 inch strips of fabric (length depends on your shirt size so measure)

-Fold over in half and press to give a mid-line look

-Then fold over 2 sides and press again so that the "suspender" is about 1 inch wide

-Add Heat and Bond paper to "suspender" then attach to shirt (same way as above)

Use fabric, ribbon, and craft eyes to create the "turkey".  I attached these items with Heat and Bond and glue gun.  Have fun!!

We're so excited for TURKEY DAY! In less than a week we'll all be enjoying all that yummy food...and spending time with family and friends...what a perfect holiday!  These adorable Turkey Day Tie & Suspenders shirts are available on my Etsy site for $12 just click here if you'd like one.

Country Princess Tutu!

Somebody might have to restrain me...I'm OBSESSED with these tutus.  I found the most gorgeous pink/purple country inspired fabrics this week and put this gorgeous tutu together.  You can purchase it from my Etsy site...just $19...click here.

Its made from 6 different designer fabrics.  Looks adorable with denim and cowboy boots.

Fabric Tutu - DIY Tutuorial

I LOVE the look of the fabric tutu's!! I've seen them all over Pinterest and I'm selling some of mine on Etsy.  They make a great photo prop or special occasion outfit.  Below you'll find my simple guide to making your own.

This is an easy "no-sew" project!  Here's what you'll need:

Fabric, scissors, elastic for waist bank, measuring tape, fun material,  and LOVE 

Pick your fabrics.  The more patterns, the better - 5 or 6 work great.  

Cut strips of fabric based on the measurements below:

*diagonal or "v" the ends for added detail

Use 3/4" thick elastic for the waistband. Secure the band with a glue gun (to keep it a "no-sew" project).  

Wrap the waistband around a roll (paper towel works great) and slip a fabric strip up and under, leaving sides equal length.

I use a "double-knot" method...so first, tie a simple knot - keep the pattern side out.

Second, tie another knot by taking right side, cross over left, and come up through that loop with the opposite side fabric facing up.

Now, fold that fabric down and voila! 

Do it over an over until you have a full tutu! Don't over stuff it or push the fabric strips too close together...they're naturally "puffy" so the less you fuss with it the better.  Also, you don't have to tie the knots too tight (if you do, you could stretch the elastic and ruin the project).

Finished product is adorable! This one (for a 12-18 month old) took about 25 strips of fabric (strips were cut 2.5" thick).

Holiday Fabric Tutu

We scheduled an appointment for our Christmas pics!  This year, I want to do something a little out of the ordinary so I made this adorable Holiday Fabric Tutu today and did a little test shoot with Candice. 

These tutus are so easy to make.  They're no sew! All you need is material and elastic for the waist band.  I posted a quick Fabric Tutu DIY Tutorial.  

These tutus are for sale and only $19.  Click here to purchase (or the "Shopping" link in the side bar).
