    Super Cute with the Crush shirt. I made some of these a few years back when my kids were little with Strawberry Shortcake and Superman prints. They looked so cute. I should make some more for Christmas. Hmmm! MORE SEWING FOR ME! LOL Thanks for linking up at Trendy Treehouse!

    This might just be a lifesaver. I’m looking for ideas for a friend who has a lovely but HUGE baby who is about the size of a 3 year old at 8 months old. The poor woman just can’t keep this child in clothes. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!
