Ziva is made of gorgeous Sugar Snap fabric. I love Ziva’s face, she turned out just as I had imagined.
Carla was made using the Wee pattern from Wee Wonderfuls. She is made of scraps of Michael Miller fabric and a red polka dot. Her face came from my imagination.
I also would like to say Happy Thanksgiving. I hope your day is spent with love, thankfulness, and family.
These are Wees that I made using the Wee Wonderfuls pattern. It is free, so head on over and pick it up. I used scraps of Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern fabric that I had lying around. The face design is all me!
Here is Sandy:

They are too cute, if I do say so myself 
As I told you in my last post, I’m one of the Thrifty 50. I was honored to be chosen, and was really excited about the challenge. So, here is my first round of thrifty presents. I’m calling these free. I didn’t really pay a penny for them. I raided my scraps…that wouldn’t have been used anyway, and got the pattern for free. I’ve been meaning to make this pattern for sometime, but just never got around to it. It is the Wee pattern from Wee Wonderfuls. You can find all of the free patterns by clicking here. This pattern was super easy…that is why I was able to sew through six in a weekend. They are great presents for babies or toddlers. You can design whatever face you would like, and the fabric combinations are endless, really, anything goes.
If you are worried because you don’t embroider, don’t. I’m a newbie to embroidery, and I managed to get along just fine. I just drew the faces on with chalk and away I went with the thread.
Each day this week, I’ll introduce you to a new baby from my basket. You don’t want to miss getting a chance to see these up close.
These gifts will be for my daughter, my niece, and a couple of other little ones in the family.
I have taken the challenge! I saw that YCMT was hosting a thrifty under fifty challenge. We are making our holiday gifts and doing it on a budget. I think everyone can share with this type of need this year. Handmade items mean so much more than the amount that they cost. So, what does this mean for you. Sit back and relax and watch as I give you ideas to make and give and keep your budget intact. We are going to use patterns we have, free ones, and actually *gasp* use some of the fabric in our stashes. It is going to be so much fun! One more thing:
