It’s my day to host the Blog Baby Shower for Lindy Turner! Lindy of Crafted By Lindy is having baby #2!! To celebrate, we (me, alamodestuff and Smidge Box) are having 3 days of giveaways!!
When thinking about baby showers, I immediately think of my go-to present for a baby shower: a bunch of dyed onesies and socks. Quick to do and oh so useful, they’re always a favorite at the shower. I love seeing them all laid out in a color wheel! So, I thought I’d put together an Downloadable Tutorial on how to make these, so you too can whip out an amazing baby shower gift in a very short amount of hands-on time:
And, as a blog party isn’t any fun without a giveaway, I thought I’d give away this set of 6 onesies (made with organic cotton even!) and socks that I dyed this week to write this tutorial.
How to enter:
1) Visit BOTH shops, Crafted by Lindy and Candied Fabrics shop.
2) Choose 1 favorite item from each shop and come back here and comment (must comment on 1 item from each shop).
3) Be sure to leave contact info!
Additional entries (4 possible entries in all):
- 2 additional entries: you can enter this giveaway on all three sponsor’s sites! Enter once at alamodestuff, then comment here and at Smidge Box for 2 more entries! [All three blogs are on different time zones. If their post isn't up yet, please visit them again later.]
- 1 additional entry: subscribe to my blog, tweet, or blog about this giveaway and receive 1 additional entry. Please leave an additional comment here telling me you did so!
One winner will be chosen randomly (random.org) at midnight tonight (March 11) Pacific (3 more hours to enter than yesterday – woohoo!) The winner will be announced tomorrow morning (March 12). Spread the word!
Thanks Kim!
My name is Candy Glendening….and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.

These are really cute!
Love the vibrant colorful onsies!! I would love to make these for my cousins’ newest babies that I’m gonna meet for the first time in April!
Lindy’s Hoot greeting cards are super cute http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42068620
And I love your 3D art quilt house that’s coming soon!
I tweeted about this!
I love the personalized greeting cards in rainbow dots…how fun. And I’ve coveted one of your going green journals for quite a while. The colors of the onsies are smashing and I have two more great-nieces or nephews on the way. But they’re unisex, so yippee.
These are terrific. I love your creativity! I’m for sure going to make a few of these for my next baby shower.
Oh look at those lovely bright colours. I love them. Thank you for the tutorial. I really hope to find some time to try it.
That was a lot of fun – thanks! As for picking out favorites, hmmmmmm. I totally go for the bags. No question there. It is hard to pick a single one, but if I have to, I pick the medium tote as much for the size as for the polka dots. In Etsy I would go for the perpetual calendar. Smidge was fun, too. I am going to head over there and look at some of her mosaics, like “affordable art”. Too bad we don’t live near each other. I have tons of fun dying stuff. I even had a tie dye party when my friend turned 50. We did socks, underwear, dish towels and pillow cases.
I’ll RSS this, too.
The link for SMidgebox in your text here is not working. but I found another one that did somewhere on your blog. I just thought you’d like to know.
UGH! Wish I’d read your comment sooner – thanks Tammy!
The onesies are great! And I love your tutorial.
I like Lindy’s perpetual calendar and your grab ‘n go clutch!
I am liking the onesies right now and I think Timmy the turtle would look nice on the wall.
You know that I LOVE everything that you do…oh…and by the way….don,t loose the pattern for my quilt cause you will need to make an exact duplicate for my ‘big girl bed’!!
Love the colors!
Owls are my fav, these are too cute http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42068620
Candied Fabrics is amazing. Love the small art quitls Botanical Sketch series! Just beautiful and love how they are displayed on clothes pins! How creative!
You did a fabulous job with these! What a great gift!
Thanks for linking to the party with your colorful post!
