Surprise

I'm surprising a friend with some burp cloths made out of the extra fabric she used in her nursery.

Fabric

Not the greatest photos but I wanted to update the fabric I have available. I want to do some sewing!

2 Year Old Birthday Shirt

After I made a shirt for Sylvia's birthday, a friend asked if I'd make one for her daughter's upcoming birthday. I love the fabric and think the shirt turned out pretty well.

Gift

I finished a nursing cover and two burp cloths the other day for a good friend. They're having a baby boy but mom likes pink. So, I didn't use matching fabric for the two. Just a reminder that the nursing cover is for mama and doesn't have to be gender specific.

High Chair Seat Cushion

I cleaned the high chair and put it back together for Erickson. Sylvia had been using it without the tray. The cusion it came with was very worn out and cracked so we threw it away awhile back. So, I found this fabric at JoAnn's and made this seat cusion. I can't believe he's almost 6 months and ready to start eating food. We tried out some sweet potatoes the last couple of days. He's not sure what to think of them.

Polka Dots and More

I gave a friend a couple of unbleached burp cloths as a baby gift a couple of months ago and she recently requested more.

These were my boy fabrics.
These were my girl fabrics. I know they're not too girly, but that's kind of how I like it.

Flowers on Gray

Another nursing cover out the door. Sylvia sat on my lap while I sewed most of this one.

Silent Auction Donation

A friend recently asked me to make a donation to the Cedar Rapids Concert Chorale for a silent auction fundraiser. Here are the burp cloths I made. Sylvia has really enjoyed "helping" me sew recently. Her job, while I worked on these, was to put the pins away when I was finished with them. She started sticking them in the ends of my spools of thread and making "balloons."

Nursing Cover Fabric

I'm ready to start doing a little sewing now that we're getting used to having two kiddos in the house. I need to get out to the fabric store sometime but for now, this is what's available.

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.

Something for the boys

Here are some recent baby boy burp cloths I made.

Just for Girls

Here's my most recent order...12 girly burp cloths. Hobby Lobby has some great new fabrics available.

Homemade Gifts

I made presonalized cards for my preschool staff this year for Christmas. I typically enjoy sewing but it was fun to do a computer project.

Fabric

Here is the fabric I currently have available if you're interested in a nursing cover.


The blue dots has already been claimed.

Red Flowers

I finished this one awhile back and recently sold it to a college friend. It is now on it's way to PA.

Baby Blues

I love this fabric. The same pattern comes in a few different colors so next time there's a sale I'm going to stock up. I did buy enough of this to make two nursing covers to if you like it as much as I do let me know. This one's for a friend who just had a little boy last week. Sylvia has started "helping" me sew. She likes sitting on my lap while I'm at the machine and playing with the pins.

Baby Girl Burp Cloths

Here is a special order of baby girl burp cloths. It was fun but difficult for me to pick out girly fabric that didn't have to work for a nursing cover too. I really like how they turned out. The black fabric is my favorite.


I bought extra fabric so if anyone is looking for a baby girl gift let me know. Hopefully I'll get to the fabric store to stock up on some boy fabric.
