I made a blanket!

Another special order! I made a blanket for baby Kallyn. I think it turned out great!
This tutorial helped!

Specialty Orders!

So I am slowly beginning to sew things for money! Here is one of my first projects. I like having some free play with it. I tried a few new things, some worked, some didn't. I guess if I'm going to put stuff up on etsy, I should practice a little more!

Playing around trying to do Monogram. It turned out okay, but I will probably try to do it differently next time.





A matching pair!



Close up!


Another design!





Another matching pair. I made a bib to match the burp cloth I made the other day!





Okay, this did not go so well! It is my first attempt at applique and I just went for it. I definitely need more practice before I can produce quality work!


I hope you like them Stef!

Playing around a bit!

I'm making some personalized burp cloths for someone. I've been looking on etsy for some ideas. So far I have been these two, but have some really creative ideas. More pictures to come!

Babies, Babies Everywhere!

I made a little something for a friend. I hope she likes it!
The picture isn't that great, but I'm happy with the way they turned out!

Another gift!

I whipped up 2 binky clips very quickly for Baby Kelsey, my niece due to arrive sometime in June. I sort of followed this tutorial but not sure I did them the same way.

They turned out great! I wish I could find more of these buttons.

Gifts for my brother and sister-in-law Part 2

I made a nursing cover using this tutorial! It was super easy, the tutorial was a little confusing but having seen one before I figured it out.

Gifts for my brother and sister-in-law

My brother and sister-in-law are having their third girl in June. I decided to get started on making gifts for them. This is my first project. It took maybe an hour, but I cut out fabric for my next project as well.

I used cotton for the outside and fleece for the interior. I cut the fabric approx. 13 in. X 35 in. Sewed the wrongs sides together, turned and then added a top stitch all the way around. I then put a diaper and wipes case on to measure the pocket. Pinned and sewed to reinforce the pocket down. I added a Velcro closure. I think it turned out really well. She can just grab it out of the diaper bag and have everything she needs to change the little one.

This is what it looks like closed.

This is what it looks like open. Just lay baby down on top and pull out what you need.
