Girl or Boy

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and have enjoyed spending some time being creative. After a few trial attempts, I successfully made these t-shirts for Sylvia and the new baby. I used iron on backing and then drew the letters onto the fabric and sewed around them. Then I cut them out and ironed them onto the shirts. After that, I sewed around them again to firmly attach them to the shirt. I don't think I'll add this to my list of sewing projects but it was fun to make something special for my kids!

Unbleached Burp Cloths

When I couldn't find the white cloth diapers I like at Walmart or Target, I decided to order some of the unbleached diapers we use for Sylvia. They're slightly larger than the white ones and they have a more natural look to them because they are unbleached. Some of my fabrics look a lot better on the unbleached diapers as you can see from these two.


Flannel Blankets

I found some cute fabric recently and decided to make some blankets. These are two sided flannel blankets that are the perfect size for swaddling a baby...even a large baby. I already want to go back to the store and get more fabric!

If you're interested in a baby blanket, let me know. $25 a piece.
