My Little Rainbow Monster!

monsterlongies7
Finished my 3rd knitting project, Tristan's monsterbum longies! I just love how these turned out! I am not close to perfect yet, probably won't ever be, but I am really starting to learn things now! I can now tell the difference between stitches and can now find a dropped stitch! I have tried a few different stitches each time and now can proudly say I learned the bamboo stitch this go around and how to fix the jog on my rounds in my stripes. Didn't learn that until the end though, so we will see how great it works on my next pair!

Made a little tee to match yesterday and put the set on my baby boy this morning. It was the perfect day to wear it, because his little personality today has me running for the hills! He is really into everything now, and is running everywhere, no walking here! Definitely a monster in training today! But I love him anyway!!

I am so glad that I stayed with knitting and didn't give up! It really is so much fun! If you want to learn, please just google knitting tips and watch you tube! It really isn't all that hard to pick up and the outcome is so pretty!!

Lots of Upcycles in my Etsy!

I have been busy recycling this past week! One of my favorite kinds of sewing!! I have so many thrifted tees that need a new home and upcycling turns them into new creations!

I love sewing for little boys, but sometimes little boys don't like wearing things that are custom made after a certain age. Upcycling seems to solve that problem! In my experience most boys love a character printed tee! I never cared for them, but once they are upcycled they look pretty cute!!

Here are just a few that are up in my shop! I will have a few more by the weekend. Trying to start stocking a wide variety of sizes from bitty babes to big boys 10/12!

Lots more! Feel free to click my etsy ZooTZ link to see the rest! Off to sew now, Tristan is in a good mood this morning so I hope to get a lot done!

Snap It Up Baby Sack Gown Pattern

Finally My Pattern!

It has taken me about a year, but finally I have my "Snap It Up Sack Gown" in PDF form and ready to go! The first 20 flew out of my etsy shop this past week and I hope everyone who purchased one is having fun sewing!

The pattern includes the choice of vneck or roundneck, long sleeves or no sleeves and you can choose to mix and match fabrics to your hearts desire!! I LOVE mixing it up and don't think I have made a plain one yet!! If you aren't into sewing, well I still offer them in my zootzbaby shop. I have a whale one and a surfing one up in the shop right now. I should be adding more in the next month or so.

And while we are talking shop, I haven't said this, but if you ever see something on the blog that you would just love for me to sew up for your baby boy, please don't hesitate to contact me through one of my etsy shops. I love custom orders and enjoy working one on one with mommas!

Here are the 2 that are in my shop now:

And here are samples of ones that I have done in the past! You really can sew your own sack gown. They aren't difficult and once you get the hang of it, it sews up pretty fast!!

And there isn't a whole lot of things cuter than a newly bathed newborn in a sack gown and beanie!!

Sweet Sack Gowns Added to the Store!
Tristan has way too many clothes and way too many gowns. These were all made for my sweet baby boy, but never worn. If you want one grab them quick, they usually sell within 24 hours of posting them!
I hope to have a girly one to add to the store later today

Now I am off to put Tristan down for a morning nap and hopefully get some sewing done! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
