Tooth Fairy Pillows

Thanks to a sweet friend, Mindy P., who needed a tooth fairy pillow for her daughter... I've been busy since this summer designing and sewing these little pillows for snaggletooths I know and a few sales in my Etsy shop too :-)  I made the sewing pattern myself for these pillows + an applique pattern, so these are one-of-a-kind.  These are custom "made to order" pillows, so each customer chooses their fabric, name font, handle colors, and name thread color.  It's been fun getting back to handmade designs... because I love any excuse to design and create.

The original pillow...

If you'd like to order these or request a custom tooth fairy pillow, please visit my Etsy Shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/HBAmanda


Next on my sewing "bucket list".... hopefully I'll start tackling tshirt dresses for girls very soon too!

One Year later... Bloggy Overhaul

I have been ignoring the blog for quite some time. Wasn't sure that I actually wanted to blog anymore.  Especially with the rise in Facebook popularity.  Who needs a blog, right?  Well, I'm not convinced either, but blogs are still read by many, sooooo I thought this should be a goal to refocus on in 2013... having more blog posts.  Woohoo!  No promises on how informative these posts will be, ha-ha.  But they'll be about sewing, teaching, crafts, embroidery... basically whatever is on my mind this week?!!  AND hopefully full of lots and lots of pictures of designs, and helpful sewing and embroidery tips.
