Giant Bibs

I love these bids because they have full coverage and have snaps rather than velcro.  When my kids were little I felt like the bibs were all to small to truly cover the spill areas and they were far to easy to pull off  due to the velcro.  I gave up on bibs really early with my kids but with these I probably would have continued using bibs rather than strip them down to just diapers when eating.  I also chose to use a thicker fusible fleece interfacing to make them more absorbent and hold their form during washing.

The bibs sell for $10

The backs can easily be used as the front also

46 more fronts waiting to be complete.  I have a wide range of fabric combinations so there should be something for everyone.

Headbands



These are the youth headbands that I have completed.  There is a large variety including all the State Universities, Colors for the local school districts, a variety of cartoon characters including glow-in-the-dark Care Bears.

These headbands have two different fabrics on each side and they have a wide middle section that tapers to a colorful piece of elastic.  They have staying power for all sorts of activities.  My daughter wears her's to gymnastics.

Welcome to Castle Creations

I am a Architect by trade but I love to sew and craft.  So I thought I would try my hand at our local craft show.  I am making a handful of items for all age groups.


I have double-sided fabric headbands in child and adult sizes. These headbands have a main part with two different fabrics one for each side.  Then have a piece of colored elastic to keep it tight.  I have large variety of fabrics including Iowa State, University of Northern Iowa, and University of Iowa.












I have also made a wide variety of one of a kind crochet hats and headbands for both children and adults.






I will have these dinosaur sweatshirts that are simple zipped hoodies with felt dinosaur spines.  I will have an assortment of colors and sizes for both boys and girls.  I am currently only making these for up to a size 6-8 but I have made an adult one and could make more if asked.




These are taggie blankets .  They have two different types of fleece on each side with lots of tags for  little fingers to play with.  These are so soft and can easily become a security blanket.  I have a wide variety of fabrics including John Deere, Princess, and more.
