Thing 1 had a birthday party to attend a few weeks ago, and his friend loves lizards! We looked in vain for some sort of a stuffed lizard for him, and then Thing 1 thought that a pillowcase would be fine. Then we searched in vain in the fabric stores for a suitable fabric - I know I've seen cute lizard fabric in the not too distant past! - and came home to find the perfect flannel print and coordinating solid in my stash. Go figure! I made this up the night before the party, and both the boy and his mom loved it!
And one of my friends was having a birthday, and she's expressed interest in the past for using cloth grocery bags. I know that she hasn't gotten around to making herself any, so I thought that would be a perfect gift for her birthday! (As well as using up some of my stash....) The outer fabric is a wine labels print that I picked up on clearance at JAF years ago. The lining is the same fabric, but on a tan background. I think it's pretty hilarious for grocery sacks. Hopefully she likes them!
And I realize this one isn't sewing, but it's pretty darn cute! Thing 1 loves penguins, so I found a penguin cake mold at Amazon. This is the prototype for his birthday party cake. It didn't take too long to decorate, partly thanks to the large white belly. And it's a smaller cake - doesn't use the whole box mix. I think I'll have two for the party. Anyway, Thing 1 loved it!
