Yesterday I saw a Taggie Giraffe Tutorial on Chasing Cheerios and HAD to make one!! Hers are totally cute!! If you are good at sewing, you could do this in like 15 mins! I took longer as I mistakedly cut the giraffes facing the same direction !! so had to cut more for the other side.
I didn't have too much material to play with as I have been recycling the girls old stained dresses to do most of my sewing these days. I totally recommend it, as some of the dresses had stains on the front but the rest of the material is perfect and cute!! I used a friends rotary cutter a few weeks ago to cut the dresses up into fat quarters.. I have a pile of lovely fabrics - for FREE!! A few of The MR's shirts got cut up too!!
My only problem.. the other girls like to think the things I sew are for them... so we have whipped up a couple more to keep their dirty mitts off the one for baby.. so my 15 mins turned into hours at the machine with all the girls around me.
After that I was inspired to make a Taggie Blanket for my own baby using left overs from the last one I made for my neice Tag Blanket Tutorial Here
Now I should be doing useful things like filling my freezer with precooked dinners or something... OH well..... too bad :)

I love this..its just so cute. And you made this in 15 mins? BRAVO.
Yay! Great recycling. Love both these items. A New baby quilt is ready and waiting here too! It Will be on display at our quilting workshop this Saturday.
I am amazed at how you just whip these things up! Where on earth do you get your energy and ideas from??? They're gorgeous Bobbie, your new little girl will love them!!!
That's awesome - I love the face they're made out of fabrics everyone recognises and loves.
