These last few days I've been finishing up photo shoots (so that everyone who I've "shot" will have their photos before I leave!), and finishing up sewing projects, and cleaning the house, and getting rid of EVERYTHING that we've accumulated and have no use for.... some call this "nesting" and I would have to agree with that statement. Wow, I completely understand what expecting moms go through.... really... part of the finishing projects that I've been trying to scratch off my "to-do" list is create a "LOVEY" for our little one. Now, if we come home with 2, they'll just have to share until I get back to my sewing machine. But, I just ADORE this "lovey" and how it turned out. What's a "lovey" you ask? Well, it's considered a child's comfort object... something for them to holdon to during stressfultimes/while they sleep/or just plain want to cuddle... and so I've created this cute little bunny "lovey" you can certainly make fun of it and say it looks like a dog, or an alien with big ears, because it sort of does... I LOVED making this little one... and not just because it's for my little one... but because I think every little one needs a little "snuggle" friend.
I used this extremely soft microfiber minky material, and it has a little stuffing in the end. Everything is stitched together tightly, but I think it'll look even cuter once is has a little "wear" on it. Do you agree? I'm thinking that when I get back from the Ukraine, that these are going to have to be debuted in my etsy shop. What do you think?
This "lovey" in particular is going to be a gift for our little one, to let them know while we're not in the orphanage with them (the first few days/week) that we're STILL there... and gives them something soft and snuggle worthy. I hope it gets lots of love.
This is absolutely wonderful! You are already such a caring mother, Karen.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Your little one(s) will be so blessed to have you as a mom!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to make another before you leave...if you come back with two, it might be a while before you get back to the sewing machine ;o) Just speaking from experience..Perhaps make a bear one...Love you guys! ~Tini
ReplyDeleteaww super cute!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love your ideas! If this 'lovey' finds its way into your shop I will be ordering one for myself and a girlfriend. Be safe and bless your growing family.
ReplyDeleteYour little one is SO lucky to be getting YOU for their Mommy!
ReplyDeleteaw that's so sweet and i love the blue and gray combination!
ReplyDeleteYou're leaving so soon!! I love the lovey! I think I should learn how to make some too. Did you have a pattern? Did you order that material? Or is that a Korean treasure? I love the sewing details.
