Post 233: Fun Sewing Project- Skirts!

So I was fiddling through some of my favorite blogs today and Noodlehead directed me over to Crafterhours who is having a totally awesome skirt week! There are tons of pictures, fresh ideas and great tutorials! Looove!

Swoon!

Being a momma a skirt with pockets is a fantastic idea. That way I still have a place to stash the stray cheerio or dropped baby link while still looking fashionable. And who doesn't just love fashionable and functional??

The Babe's first birthday is in 6 weeks! SIX WEEKS!! I can't believe I'm a mom and a real human being that is turning ONE YEAR OLD IN SIX WEEKS!

Anyway, I have been working on putting together a fun circus/carnival birthday. I think I may be expecting too much of myself. But if I stick to it I too can have one of those fancy shmancy birthdays that I am seeing all over the internet. Sorta.

I had a hard time coming up with party favors considering all of Luke's "friends" are his age and younger. BUT then I realized I have been making these for baby shower gifts:

Why not make the small one for a party favor?? I only need 10...not too bad...at least I am telling myself that. You can find the tutorial at The Purl Bee. (I LOVE THAT BLOG)

Sew it up, slap a tag with my cute baby's face on it. and BAM. PARTY FAVOR.

Do any of you have any other great idea for favors for the 1 and under crowd??
