Baby girl felt and fabric hearts mobile

 

So I finally finish this little crafts Project of mine. I hope baby M loves this!

I basically used the templates that I created to make my other mobile and I only had to draw and prepare a hearts template to use for this new one. I had tons of fabric and felt leftovers and samples, so I needn’t have to buy any fabrics.

After cutting all the pieces, I embroidered baby´s M name with light pink cotton thread on the half felt cloud. The back of the cloud is a pink dots fabric that matches with pink dots hearts. All hearts have in one of the sides either a pink fabric dot or a pink fabric, and the back side as white felt. I hand stitched the hearts and the cloud with blanket stitch using the same light pink cotton thread. 

The method that I used is fairly similar to my other mobile. First I attached the hearts to each other in columns using finish line. Afterwards I attached the hearts column to the cloud…

And here it is!
Baby M will now have a lovely heart mobile to enjoy... I do hope she likes it!

 What about you? Have you finish any sewing projects lately?

I would love to hear about it!

Preparations for another baby mobile!

My family just keeps getting bigger! 

A new member of my family was born,  this time is a baby girl! To celebrate this new arrival I will be sewing another baby mobile, but in pink and white tones. I know, its too girly, but after making mobiles for baby boys I am loving embracing pink tones, just to be a bit different!

And this will be very very girly! This is not the very first baby girl arriving, but my crafting abilities (and time) were not available at the time to celebrate the first baby girl. So, only now I will be crafting heart shapes with  pink tones... As girly as possible! I have to admit that I was longing to craft girly stuff... Here are the fabrics that I will be using:

And I will be sewing a flower headband to my older little cousin.... I found this amazing felt flower tutorials that I am anxious to try....! I will post about this project later on.

What about you? Thinking about new crafting projects to tackle? Let me know about them!

 

Baby Mobile tutorial

 

I have been quite stressed lately…and  nothing works better for me to relax than to begin a DIY project! I was thinking about doing another baby mobile for a while ...! 

 I never mentioned this before but I am about to become an aunt, and I wanted to offer my little nephew (yes, it’s a baby boy!) something more personal, and as I love to offer handcrafted gifts (especially if I am the one crafting), I thought about making a felt mobile.

I knew that the parents decided to use grey and yellow as main nursery colors so I used similar colors on this mobile. I had a little Pinspiration when deciding what the general look of the mobile would be…

For this project I used felt sheets, fishing line and cotton threads. I hand drew the patterns for the moon, cloud and stars…

 After the patterns were created, I cut the felt sheets.

Then, I hand stitched the felt stars, moon and cloud with blanket stitch.  I hand stitched the moon to the cloud using a simple running stitch. After all was stitched, I attached the stars first to each other in columns and then to the moon and cloud, using fishing line.

And here it is the mobile!

The stars look amazing when hanging from the ceiling; they look like little felt constellations of light yellow and grey…

I hope my nephew enjoys his little moon and stars mobile!

What about you? Did you finish any DIY project lately?
