My cousin recently flew in with her family to celebrate her son’s first birthday. Since they live far away, I didn’t want to get him a big toy they would have to ship back home, so I decided to make him some cute stuff from the Alexander Henry 2D Zoo fabric and denim I got from Above All Fabric.
I made the towel bibs first. A friend with a toddler said these are the best!

Then, of course, I had to do applique!
I used this cute free tutorial to make a sun hat.

Then I decided that rather than go buy a gift bag, I would make one! I’m so happy I figured out how to do the drawstring part – I will absolutely make more drawstring bags!











It turned out adorable! I love the whole set together. That fabric is one of my favorites! I’d love it if you added a pic to our Flickr Pool, here’s the address if you’d like :) :
