Pink Dots

Another nursing cover finished and gifted. Sylvia now likes sitting on my lap while I sew. It can make things a little more difficult but she usually behaves herself. She likes to set fabric on the machine and put the pins on the pin cushion.

Baby Bird

Last night I hosted a baby shower with the help of a couple of friends. It was wonderful to have people over to our home since we haven't done that for quite a while.


My first flower arrangement made strictly from cut flowers and leaves (nothing from the store).


Guests wrote a note for guest of honor on bird shaped paper cutouts.


Bird magnets for the party favor.

Nursing Cover Fabric

I bought new fabric a few weeks ago. Now that school is out, I'm finally getting some use out of it. Half of my purchases are already claimed for specific people but here are the three that remain.



You can also look back at my April 1st post to see other available fabric. I've used the back left and the front two middle ones already.

Green Paisley

Here is my newest creation for a good friend with a two-day-old baby boy. I stayed up sewing last night while Dan was working late at the office.

Line 'Em Up

This fabric bolt was just shy of the 1.25 yards of fabric I need to make a nursing cover and matching burp cloth but I could not pass it by. I think I might do more with linear because it looks so clean when you're done. With only a sliver of fabric left over after completing the nursing cover I had to modify the burp cloth, but I ended up liking it a lot with the single strip down the middle.



Welcome

If you are viewing this it means you made it to my new blog! Thanks for checking it out. I'm hoping this will make it easier for people to find my sewing projects.

I will no longer be posting my projects our family blog so make sure to add this site to your list if you want to keep up with what I've been working on.
