Looking for Flowergirl Gifts

[Yarnster]

Hello all,

 

I'm looking for gift ideas for my sister.

She's going to be flowergirl at my wedding

 

 

I posted more info on my blog: Here

 

I need all kinds of ideas and I thought, since I've always found everything I needed here, I'd probably have the best luck finding something among all you crocheters.

 

-Wendy

 

Any ideas at all are welcomed.

Maybe you could make her a veil to wear or a little white doily-type purse? Something really special to wear that day that she will have as a keepsake.

Another cradlepurse pattern:)

[crochetfun]

I think you have plenty to do for now.

 

If you need anything else just let us know.

 

Don't forget to post when they are ready, can't wait to see. (I'd love to see your little sister's face when she gets these:) )

 

So nice when sisters love each other like this. I have a son and daughter with 7 years between them, they are really close. I am very happy, especially, since I am an only child. Now I am off- topic.

 

Good luck with your work. Glad you liked the ideas.

[Yarnster]

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!

 

I actually have the DMC Butterfly Tote on my To-Do List and even forgot I had the supplies for it already

 

And the Fun Flower Pillow would be perfect to go with the afghan I made her last year I still have the left over scraps from that project! WooHoo!

 

I've been forbidden to buy more yarn until I use up my stash and since I haven't really touched my last purchase I think I can get most, if not all of her gifts done with what I have on hand. Plus I have a few skeins in white that I've been saving for something special and this is about as special as it gets

 

 

I'll be off-line for the next couple of days trying to get these done. But if anyone thinks of something else, Just reply to this post and I'll get it in my email box

 

Thank you all again for your help

she's 7, right? so probably pretty 'into' her room.....

 

what about this fun flower pillow

[crochetfun]

There are some nice totes on the DMC site, I particularly like the butterfly one.

 

Then you could carry the butterfly theme to the other items.

 

Or use a flower theme.

 

There is also a lovely notebook holder at http://www.crochetnow.com/index.php?category_name=general-misc/&paged=3

Oh, I think you are going to make some lovely gifts. She is going to be sooo happy.

[Yarnster]

Thank you Crochetfun for the link to the cradle purse! I was looking on ebay at the pattern books for those and those things are expensive!

 

And thank you Empress Busy Bee for the info on the size. I have a few baby patterns I can use for the bear. Its such a relief too, I wasn't so sure how I would do coming up with patterns for it on my own. But I do have baby patterns to use so thats what I'll do

 

Thank you all for all the help

I found a cradle purse pattern if it helps

[Empress Busy Bee]

She also has a Build-A-Bear that only has one set of clothes so I can make her some outfits for it. I just have to find out what size the bear is.

 

Build a Bear bears are very close to newborn sizes. I know because we have the dress we brought our daughter home in on the one we got her when she was born. It's newborn size and fits pretty good.

So look for newborn outfits.

[Yarnster]

Wow! All your ideas are awesome! I hadn't even thought of making her something to wear at the wedding!

 

I think I'm going with all of your suggestions.

 

She doesn't have a purse to go with her dress so I can make her one for the big day. Also a lip balm holder for her lip balms so she has something to put in her purse.

 

She also has a Build-A-Bear that only has one set of clothes so I can make her some outfits for it. I just have to find out what size the bear is.

 

I hadn't thought of a poncho which I'm going to make her one because my mom did say the building was air conditioned so if it gets chilly, she'll have something to wear.

 

I'm going to make her a tote as well as a bear blanket so she can carry around her bear and things without getting them dirty.

 

Thank you for sharing all these ideas with me I drew nothing but blanks. I've spent a lot of my time looking through Crochetpatterncentral.com and Freepatterns.com. Maybe I'll find something else I haven't thought of.

Sorry, I thought you meant as a gift. But you need something for the wedding?

[fran]

If she has dolls, maybe some crocheted doll clothes?

[HollyM]

If she's wearing a short sleeved or sleeveless dress for the wedding, how about a short poncho or capelette that goes with the dress? She can wear it later in the day if the air at the reception is too chilly

 

http://www.luv2crochet.com/lacyshellponcho.pdf is quick to work up.

http://www.freepatterns.com has a cute pattern for little girl "People Purses". You could make one that sort of resembles her. Just an idea!

[Empress Busy Bee]

It's easy to miss some of the obviouse.

Some of that I had in my own favorites to do some day. lol

The rest I found here:

And this morning I saw the notepad and pencil holder while looking at something else. I just happen to remember after reading your blog.

[Yarnster]

Empress Busy Bee!!

 

I Love all the links you're sharing!

 

The lip balm holder is super! She is always checking her lips making sure she has enough of that stuff on. I completely forgot she did that

 

I must be doing my searches wrong, I've come up with basically baby stuff. I haven't seen any of the things you've linked to.

 

And how did I miss the K pillow?! I have been so busy planning my wedding that I've missed so much whats been going on here with everyones new wonderful creations.

 

I have so much to catch up on. I suppose my best bet is to go through the crochetville forums to find things for her hehe

 

-Wendy

[Empress Busy Bee]

Woven and Spun has a "K" pillow now:

She's a doll. I read your blog.

I'll keep thinking.

[Yarnster]

Thank you, thank you

 

I've been searching web sites all morning and have come up empty handed.

[diamond]

I'll keep my eyes out for something special you can make her.

[Yarnster]

I would like to crochet or knit her the gift myself but any gift idea would help. I keep drawing blanks

 

She's seven years old and loves pinks and purples so I thought I could make her something myself with yarn and thread I have on hand but like I said, I'll buy her a gift if I can't find something to make for her.
