We all know that one of the greatest joys of sewing is being able to make interesting items that are hard to find in stores. Whether you're looking to create something fun for a costume, craft custom items for your favorite pooch, or put together a baby set to please new parents, show 1503 is full of clever little projects you can finish in a short period of time.
Each one of the pieces you see in this show will help you exercise your sewing super powers.
First you'll see Cheryl Sleboda make a pair of fully little ears. She calls them wolf ears and provides a free pattern for you to download from the TV website. Her furry ears are made from Shannon Fabrics Faux Fur. It's amazing how many different furs you'll find when you explore the options. Cutting and sewing this synthetic material requires some special knowledge and handling for fool proof results.
Cheryl uses faux suede to add to the realistic look and has some great tips for fluffing the fur after sewing the seams. Visit the Shannon Fabrics site for a Free tip sheet and you'll learn even more.

Next up, Caroline Critchfield stitches something for our furry friends, with a scrappy dog leash and a comfy pet pad. Watch as she provides top-stitching tips and shows you the kind of hardware you need for a quality leash.
In the last, short segment I'm happy to bring you something to celebrate Baby Days, with a pretty little bottle cover featuring machine embroidery and a few cute sayings.
I've made quite a few of these bottle covers! It's easy to embroider on pre-quilted fabric or you can choose to just embellish yours with colorful trim. Either way, this is one item that is really unique and turns a baby gift into a real conversation piece.
Check out another version of this bottle cover from a post I wrote for the Brother blog HERE. This one features a design from an adorable collection called Button Babies available from the Brother design download center at www.ibroidery.com.
In an effort to help you get started on a bottle cover and burp cloth set, you'll find an offer for a burp cloth pattern I've made available for you to download for free HERE. I hope you have fun with this! I'd love to know if you decide to make your own special baby set. Let us know in the comments if you have plans for making a baby gift in the near future or let us all know about something special you've made for baby in the past.
