Lizards Lizards everywhere!!!

No not real lizards! 

This Lizard!

I fell in love with Little Lizard King sewing patterns when I was looking for a little boy's vest pattern. I unfortunately was poor at the time so I could only make google-y eyes at it until one day ... I won the pattern! Oh yeah! 

Than I got the opportunity to test out the Little Apron Skirt (new name pending?) at the beginning of December... It was so cute and I made sure to stalk keep an eye on Lizard's Facebook page. I was addicted... I want them all!

(the skirt that I made)

About a week ago she posted again "pattern testers needed." I could not hit the comment button fast enough! (no I am not exaggerating ... sad yes I know. ) 

   

(6-12 months THIS ONE for sale in my facebook store)

(size 8)

This skirt is my all time favorite... I even tortured my son and dressed him in it to take photos! lol 

It is a little long but I am going to just shorten it by a few inches next time. I even made one bigger for my niece but I have not given it to her yet... 

Want one for yourself? The pattern will be for sale soon in her etsy store!

Or if your not crafty (or just want to be lazy) I will be selling customs, and pre-made's of this skirt, & the Apron Skirt in my store on Facebook. 

Thanks for listening to me gush and don't forget to go check out Little Lizard King Patterns on Facebook and Etsy. 

Upcycled Boy Hat Tutorial

This hat is absolutely perfect for winter! Why? 

Well because.... It has ear flaps! 

And while I am usually not a huge fan of ear flaps because it always reminds me of ,'a person from the past's', "special" friend. I am in love with these hats! They are kind of skater punkish...

{after the extra stitching and fabric additions}

{he left it on the whole time!}

How can you have one of these fancy hats? It's easy! Just visit 'I am momma hear me ROAR'. Cheri has come up with this awesome hat and even was nice enough to include a tutorial for it. See the tutorial here!

I have been working on getting ready to do this project for a month now! 

It is a present for someone, whom shall not be named, and I had to find just the right fabric! 

I really hope she likes it! 

This is the "buttercup bag" from Made By Rae! 

{Free Version can be found here}

I am very happy with the way it turned out... It was super easy to make and I am for sure going to buy the commercial pattern so that I can sell these at a local craft fair coming up! 

I am thinking diaper bags by making a bigger version? 

Nice eh?

Linking to some of these parties...
