elephant bib project in process

i've been doing some crafting for friends with new babies recently, and this project is something i've been thinking about for a long time--i love these tiny elephants and especially how they look together with multiple colors. also, i now have elephant fat quarter sets in the shop, which is something else i've been planning to offer for a while.

i made a simple paper pattern for the bib, using a 5 cm grid. unfortunately, all the babies i know are far away, and i just made up the pattern based on what looked reasonable to me. i tried one with pieced blocks of fabric,
and one with more strips of elephants in rows.
the bibs will be reverseable, and i'm thinking about using this cute mouse fabric for the other side, or using larger peices of the same elephant fabric. what you do think? which would be better?

more tiny elephants

i've very excited to tell you that i've found the new tiny elephant cotton print in new colors! like this yellow,
dark navy,
and green on white. they are all in the shop, which i will be upgrading with even more new items throughout this weekend (i can't seem to keep up with all the new things i want to share with you!).

elephants are back!

look at these adorable baby shoes by mette from erleperle (where there's also a link to the pattern if you want to try to make them yourself).

the fabric she used is the wonderful and wildly popular elephant linen/cotton print that is available in a number of different colors. and i just restocked it in my etsy shop in almost all of them!

let me tell you, it was quite wonderful to visit the fabric shop again after being out of commission for a month with a broken foot. i'm still using crutches, but at least i can walk around using two shoes. i came dangerously close to buying more fabric than i could carry home, which i still have to photograph for an update later this week.

elephants never forget

here's some elephant fabric that's over in the shop.
it's available in more colors, and with bright colored elephants on a white background, so just let me know if you are looking for something else.

on the topic of remembering, i'm going to try to post every day starting in june. definitely a habit i want to get back into.
