Jake the Pirate

My little three year old granddaughter loves Jake the Pirate. She received the ship with all the characters for her 3rd birthday in March. We just finished role playing with the small characters on the ship. Out of curiosity, I did a search for Jake the Pirate and quilting. I was amazed to find fabric with these TV show characters on it as well as some knitting and crochet projects.

If you want to make some costumes for these characters, check HERE.
I also discovered some other projects for this kid's show, such as a party theme, and knitting and crochet stuff. It's amazing the amount of things out there for children's shows.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday!!

Today's post is for all those celebrating a birthday! I don't usually blog about personal stuff but this is an exception. My granddaughter is one year old today. She lives a long way from here. 

When I was searching for birthday specific things (free patterns) to quilt, sew or stitch, I couldn't find a lot so I included a few crafty things as well.
