I actually had so many ideas for this day it was hard to choose. First I was going to do a variation on Spool's bird mobile with christmas colored birds and felt music notes (I am thinkin' I will probably still do this) but I couldn't find long enough and sturdy enough sticks (we have lots of Palm trees and not much else). Then I switched to making candle wraps out of transparency's with music sheet backgrounds and birds. Did that but didn't really like how it turned out. So it was on to number three. I LOVE making Evie shirts. A while back I made her a bird shirt. I decided it would be fun to do a Christmas version.
So, I shrunk down THIS bird pattern and cut it our in four corresponding Christmas patterns. Then switched up their wings and sewed on some button eyes!
You can use wonder-under to attach them (this is the coolest stuff ever!) I then did some big stitch's on top
I really prefer how T's look as opposed to Onsies'
Of course then you run the risk of them constantly doing this:
Aside from her belly button Evie also love's eating rocks during photoshoots:
This is soooo super easy! So go a head, print off your bird and make your own flock!!
Where did you get her adorable green pants?

I love it. Really cute. And I am pretty sure you have the most stylish little girl! She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Very simple and sweet. I agree with you on the t's versus onesies. Once they get to a certain age, it's weird for everything to be so tucked in with a onesie.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the green pants! Did you make those too? Is there a tutorial for them?
