Crinkle Toy

 


Fabric: Not sure about the cute car fabric, but I bought it at Joanne's and the turquoise minky also
Pattern: I followed a tutorial on Joys Hope www.joyshope.com Hers was my favorite because she added a layer of crinkle on her tutorial.
Notes: This is one of my new favorite and quick baby gifts

Small Fabric Container





Fabric: Michael Miller (I think) / Medium weight interfacing
Pattern: I bought this pattern on etsy but I can't remember from which shop
Notes: I guess its okay that I forgot who I purchased from because the pattern was a little difficult to follow and I remember finding a similar tutorial on a blog a few days later that was much easier to follow. If I come across the tutorial again I will post the link here.

I do love this little fabric container though, perfect for my bracelets and I even take it on the road with me when we travel and use it as a catch all for our keys and such.

Cricut Cover for Melina


Fabric: Alexander Henry
Pattern: www.customcrops.com
Notes: I used medium weight interfacing, I accidentally cut the length too short haha so I improvised and added a patch of the black and white polka dot fabric to the back
