Amazing! We had sort of a vintage travel theme for my son's nursery too, but all we did was decoupage some old maps to the bureau drawers! This is incredible.
I'll be interested to see the responses! My 5-year-old just started getting interested in Legos. He got a few small sets for his birthday, and was interested in helping us put them together, but wi...
I forgot to add, after I traced the pattern, I sewed on the drawn line, leaving an opening on the head so I could turn it right-side-out. The head is covered by the hat, so you won't see the messy ...
Thanks for the kind words! The pattern for Lowly was from Richard Scarry's "Best Make-it Book" ever, which is out of print, but I bought one on eBay. So I don't think I can share the pattern, but i...

You could save a lot of money by just buying an extra copy of your favorite book and framing some pages. That's what I did for my son's nursery with some cute pages from one of Holly Hobbie's Toot ...
I just realized I forgot a step! After you've sewed along all the lines to make the fold lines, cut around the outside close the stitching and add a binding (I used the same brown fabric).

I love the truck costumes! And using different fonts for each letter of your banner really makes it so vibrant!
