Sunday's featured store

From now on I'm going to try to feature at least one etsy store every Sunday, and maybe even one more during the course of the week. Today's store that I ran into is called Paper from heaven. She sells crayon rolls in her store. Her name is Katie and is a stay at home mom of three boys. OH Brother that's a handful that's all I can say. Now the one thing that makes her stuff unique is that most crayon rolls have one pocket that holds one crayon. She makes hers with a twist, which is too cool, check it out.

Pretty neat hun? It's such a nicer way to get the crayons out. It's adorable, any kid would want that. The other thing that makes her crayon rolls unique is that their fabrics/patterns that are hard to find, or stuff I've never seen before. She also has really cute crayon tote bags too. You know how most crayon tote bags have a front pocket to put crayons in? Well yeah she has those but, she adds a flap to it to protect the crayons, which is also brilliant idea too. Here is my favorite crayon tote bag she has up in her store. If I was a five year old boy, I'd be in love with it. NO joke.

You have to say that this is adorable. You see the brown robots on the front? Well that's the flap that I was talking about. Now she also sells crayon aprons and PDF patterns for some of her items. So I'd like to say thanks for reading this featured store make sure you check Katie out. I have a link in the store title that you can click on, it's easier access for y'all. Keep up the good work Katie.

My family have been watching some kids lately and I go permission to get photo's of them for my store. They are the cutest and I think they sell the outfits. I've also been working on how to edit photo's, I think I've been doing a lot better. I've been hanging out with friends and family. Last but not least I've been working on making new projects that everyone that see's it in my store will fall in love with.

FEATURING MY FIRST STORE!!!!

So today I decided I needed to mix things up a bit. Today I'm going to be featuring a store (hence the title). This store is from Etsy.com. She sells amazing things and needs some traffic to hit her store. Our stores have a lot in common but so much in difference. We both love making baby items and showing off our skills (Who doesn't?)
Her name is Jes. Here is her store http://www.etsy.com/people/PolkaDotBabyBoutique I'll also show you some of her items. Please support her store. She sells bibs, blankets,Burp Cloths,Tag blankets,baby sets and so much more. Here's some items.

Tutorial on how to make a Contour Burp Cloth

                         How to make a contour burp cloth
I've been looking around on etsy.com and I noticed that burp cloths are selling like crazy, and then I had a thought, "hey I could make those". So I looked around at other blogs and had no luck looking for what I wanted. So I made myself a pattern and I decided that I can share the process of making one. (There really easy to make) If you can't sew and want one you can see them in my store real soon. 

                                                                Materials

• Flannel fabric, or terry cloth and cotton fabric. You won't need much
• Dosew (tracing paper for fabric) or you can use easel paper like I did (this is for your pattern)
• Batting (Optional)
• Sewing essentials (sewing machine, scissors, thread, etc.)

                       Once you gather your supplies your going to have to make a pattern for your burp cloth. I free handed mine

This is my pattern, it's 18" long and it's 8 1/2" at the widest and 6 1/2" the thinnest. 

Once you get your pattern the way that you want it too, trace the pattern onto dusew or keep it on paper. Pin pattern and cut

Once you get 2 pieces cut out, pin wrong sides together(if using batting it goes fabric fabric batting)

My scrap piece

Once pinned use a 1/4" seam alowence don't forget to leave an opening

Clip corners before you turn over

once flipped press.

Open up the burp cloth using the opening that you have

To top stitch I used a pink that matches.

Once you've top stitched this is how it will look.
