These personalized bibs for baby Ella coordinate with the colors and theme of her room. Pretty pink flowers hang from a mobile in her crib and fun fairies hang from the ceiling in her room! The white bib has Ella’s monogram done in a wrapped dotted straight stitch in a soft green. Underneath the monogram are three pretty pink roses with a slightly darker green leaf pattern. The roses are done in a silk ribbon wrapped stitch around regular embroidery floss of the same color. The back of the white bib is a soft pink. The soft pink bib has baby Ella’s first name done in a stem stitch in a pure white silk ribbon. Under Ella’s name is a little fairy holding a flower over her head. The fairy and flower are worked in a combination of straight stitches, french knots, and split stitches. For your own personalized Coffey creation e-mail me at shannon@coffeycreationsforkids.com !
Check out Virginia’s Octopus Pillow that she made all by herself! Using double sided fusible webbing makes it easy to make an applique-and certain that it is going nowhere. Virginia added detail to her octopus and pillow by making several straight stitches and lots of french knots. She also used a fabric pen (with blot off ink) to write her name on the pillow in a fun font, then she used straight stitches to make it “POP”! What a fantastic job, and a fun project for a crafty little girl! (Virginia also sewed the front and back of the pillow together by hand and stuffed her pillow to make it nice and fluffy.)
This baby gift set includes three hand made personalized baby bibs, a coordinating box, notecard and original canvas.
The canvas was done to match baby Emerson’s pink and brown bedding from Restoration Hardware. Baby Emerson has a soft pink and brown elephant mobile in her crib and that’s what inspired this canvas! In the canvas a mommy and baby elephant are holding trunks as they are give each other a flower. The elephants stand on a field of flowers that has the baby’s birth information “hidden” in it. The canvas is done in rich browns and many shades of pink to coordinate with the baby’s room.
Three bibs are done in stripes, dots, and a soft pink and all have personalized hand embroidered stitching. These fabrics were picked to coordinate with the baby’s bedding and room colors also. The multi colored dotted bib has “Emerson” hand embroidered in a wrapped back stitch, the striped fabric has the letter “E” done in a multitude of french knots, and the soft pink bib has baby Emerson’s monogram done in a stem stitch.
The coordinating box makes use of soft pink and brown card stock with hand embroidered dark brown french knots on the warm pink card stock for added flair. The fun font (Gigi on MS Word) shows off Emerson’s full name on the keepsake box.
Emerson’s monogrammed personalized note card is done with a soft pink satin ribbon wrapped in a stripey effect on dark brown card stock. Emerson’s monogram is done in a warm brown and set on start white card stock in the card’s center.
The fun thing about all of these baby items is that they are useful (fancy bibs-can’t the bib be just as sweet as the dress?!), and can serve more than one purpose (the box makes a beautiful gift presentation and then can be displayed in the baby’s room and used to keep all those precious little keepsakes in!), and the card with the givers best wishes presents another wall art opportunity (or scrapbook addition!). The fact that the baby’s birth information is slightly “hidden” allows for the growth of the baby into a child who will still love that she has personalized artwork with her name on it-but doesn’t feel that it’s too “babyish” because the baby information is not too obvious.

All the fun Orange Kitty items were made from an orange and white striped repurposed men’s shirt! What fun it was turning one men’s shirt into so many girly little items!! My personal favorite, though are the bloomers! Girly bloomers with fun springtime blooms to match the fun dresses! The blooms are made of the orange and white striped shirting material and the stamens are hand embroidered orange and blue (to match the little Polo insignia) french knots, the green stems are done in a stem stitch and the little leaves are done in backstitches. The little ruffly dress shows off the original “Polo” insignia and is approximately a 6-12 month size. It has elastic on the shoulder ruffly straps, the back of the dress and under the arms. The halter dress has a ribbon that can be tied at the back of the neck or on one side or the other in the front (or back for that matter)-the halter used as a dress will fit sizes approximately 12-18 months or as a halter swing top from sizes 2-3T. The back of the halter dress shows off the original buttons of the men’s shirt, and the back of the dress is a bit longer than the front of the dress due to the nature of the Halter dress itself. The orange kitty has hand embroidered eyes, nose and mouth. The matching bib also has hand embroidery accents and velcro dots to allow for a growing little girl! The two coordinating hair bands are both made of elastic bands for stretch and comfort. This collection is one of a kind as I do not use patterns to make my childrens clothing.
Sorry-the ruffly dress, bloomers, and orange and white headband have sold! The remaining items-the halter dress, orange kitty, bib and remaining headband can be purchased for 55$. To purchase this fun collection check out my ETSY shop or pay me directly via PayPal. If you’d like this collection in a different print contact me at shannon@coffeycreationsforkids.com , or send in your own men’s shirt for an extra special Father’s day gift for daddy!
Oh my! I LOVED doing this project! A mini tent to match Hampton’s own Circus tent! Plus a lion, a step stool for him to leap through his ring of fire on, and the ringmaster himself! I hope Hampton will have lots of fun with his circus themed toys that match his room’s theme and bedding! The mini tent has Hampton’s monogram hand embroidered above the little door in a back stitch. The tent also has a little flag on top and a circle window in the back-just like Hampton’s big one! The lion is made of a supersoft tan suede with an ivory fur on the alternate side. The lion’s mane is the ivory fur, while his little face, body, and tail are the tan suede with tufts of the ivory fur on his feet, tail and around his face. The ring of fire is made of a soft white muslin and the fire is hand painted onto the material. The base of the ring of fire has stuffing and a bit of rice to keep it standing for lots of fun pretend play! The ring’s shape is kept by using a bit of covered stem wire, and the base of the ring is covered in material that coordinates with the tent. The ring master has hand embroidery accents for his facial features, he has a satin bow tie to go with his tux and tails! The ring master also has a dark brown satin rimmed top hat, cuffed pants, a flower on his tux jacket and he himself is made of a soft pill resistant ivory fleece.

These little finger puppets were pretty easy to do, and fun too! I found the pattern for the rabbit on Martha Stewart’s website and made just a few little changes:I used a straight stitch up the front of the bunny (easier and the blanket stitch would have made the opening too small for a finger!), and I added whiskers to the bunny by threading a small piece of embroidery floss through the nose area, spreading out the threads and spraying on a smidge of “Stiffen quick”! I also used pill resistant ivory fleece for the bunny bodies and a pinch of stuffing for the head instead of a cotton ball. Ta-da! I made the chicks by cutting basically a rounded off rectanglular shape cut about as tall as 3/4 of your index finger. Using slightly different shapes allow for different looking chicks as you can see in the photos! I used a soft furry yellow cuddle fleece, machine sewed the seam with the material inside out (fold material in half and sew along the top where your finger tip would be and down along the side), turned out the material, added french knots for the black eyes, cut out a little orange felt beak (diamond shaped then fold in the middle), wing shapes and a tail and attached those with fabric tac!

The white outer portion has Sam’s name done in a wrapped back stitch, and a little bunny done in browns in a combination of straight stitches, back stitches and a few french knots.
