Etsy Envy

I have recently found, fell in love, shopped til I dropped, and now envy a wonderful website called Etsy. This is a website with many types of goods. I love the handmade goods. They have the largest selection of everything you never knew you needed.

After window shopping, and many purchases, I decided I could make a lot of these adorable items myself for cheaper. So here are some of my Etsy inspired (or stolen) projects.

I started making these fabric bows for Ivy's baby. Then I went bigger and bigger for Olivia (these aren't pictured). I have had a lot of fun making these and I have had about six people offer me money to make them for her. I don't know if I am ready to go there yet, but maybe.


Ivy and my mom have been busy cranking out tons of baby bibs, burb rags and blankets. I haven't really sewn anything since I was pregnant with Bradley. I have been toying with the idea so while shopping around on Etsy I saw these cute little dresses. The fun part is that they give you the fabric pre-cut and you sew it. I bought the red dress and made a pattern with it for the blue and brown dresses. My sewing is not that straight, but Olivia loves them, and I am giving the mostly blue one to Brooklyn.

This is my favorite steal. My friend Erin gave me some of her daughter's clothes that didn't fit. This skirt being one of them. I added the ribbons on the bottom. The same skirt on Etsy $35.00. This cost me $5.00 in ribbon, and I had enough ribbon to add it to a plain yellow shirt Olivia already had from Walmart. So cute if I say so myself.
