I really do love sewing. It is a recent hobby I took up. I never took a home economics class and my mom never taught me to sew. I just decided to purchase a machine and learn how. The rest is history.
Hence, my giveaways. It is my way of expanding my sewing horizons by trying new projects and having someone to share those projects with.
So, what about this month's giveaway???
This past weekend we were invited to a birthday gathering for our neighbor's one-year-old daughter. Keeping with my resolution that all gifts this year be homemade, I whipped up a quick pair of capri pants and with the remaining material made a little toddler backpack. I did not have a pattern for the backpack so I was doing it freehand and hoping for the best. I must say, I am pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. T Rex tried it on and LOVED it - he looked so cute in it, despite the girlish material.

A pack of this design will go to the winner of this month's giveaway. Rules: one comment per posting per blog (T Rex Mom and Dad Tales or T Rex Tales). Entries will be doubled for followers. Giveaway runs all month and winner will be announced beginning of July.

Very cute backpack. Well done!
So adorable! You are very creative. I bet those backpacks would be big sellers:)
I am just blown away that you do all these things free hand and you are self taught. Your sewing is fantastic, and I know so because the bags you sent to me are wonderful and I love them.
I had training when I was a teen on how to sew and I am still intimidated at the idea of getting out my sewing machine and doing something.
How cute!
Come on...it has turtles on it. I totally need that! It is very cute. You did a great job!
So cute! Homemade gifts are so special, too!
Love the backpack idea! So cute!
He looks like such a big boy with the capris and backpack. I love it!
I think it's awesome that you are making all the gifts. I need to consider starting this.
