Boy Oh Boy!

This past week I got a lovely surprise when one of my blogger friends Jenny, placed an order through my etsy shop for 25 tissue covers for a baby shower. The colors she requested were chocolate brown, cream and blue. I knew exactly what fabric I wanted to use. These fabrics are all from Sweetwater's "Pure" collection. There are some fabrics that definately scream "boy" to me but I didn't want to use those for the tissue covers because these shower favors are for women even though it's a shower for a baby boy. I love that there are hearts and roses and tiny flowers as well as stripes and tiny polka dots!

And because Jenny is such a sweetheart (she made me the cutest apron and you can see it here) that I wanted to send her just a little something extra with her order. Since I am participating in the Craft Book challenge, I decided to use a pattern from the book Sew, So Cute by Mary Engelbreit. I used some of the more masculine co-ordinating fabrics from the Pure collection to make the patchwork front panel for this bib. I love it and I hope she does too :)
