hand stamped fabric

Went a baby shower for my niece-in-law today--I always
like to make something, something the recipient won't
get anywhere else. The first step is to stalk their
registry, to make sure I'm giving them something they'll
actually like!

The nursery is going to be bright colors and jungle
animals, so . . . broke out a new/old Stampin' Up set
I'd never even mounted, it's all jungle animals, and
the old Fabrico fabric ink. Do they even make that anymore?



Look how cute those lime green elephants are! Made a
couple of bibs, and a tag blanky with a hot pink minky
backing. These made (I hope!) a nice personal addition
to the store-bought gifties we found, plus they were SO
much fun to make.

Did you make anything this weekend?

What a brilliant and adorable idea! So personal and no way will that be duplicated. I want to stamp on fabric (to wear), so I will look for this ink! Wonderful gift!

Thank you, everybody! And I'm happy to report that she DID love all the goodies, plus requested a car seat cover like the one I made our other niece!

Yay!
