In the midst of the snuggling, I have been able to finish a few sewing projects. I haven't been able to make all of my ideas a reality, but I have the rest of her life to make little dresses and girly things, right? :)
I sewed up a pair of kimono-style pjs for Sweetie from Amy Butler's "Little Stitches" book. The blanket in the first photo is also from this book. There are some cute projects in there! I'm excited to sew some more projects from this book for Sweetie and also for baby gifts.
Before Sweetie arrived, in the midst of nesting I decided to give the car seat a good cleaning. Well, after much scrubbing, the car seat still didn't look 'great'. So, I decided to sew a carseat cover. I made a pattern by removing the existing cover and pinning muslin to it. I didn't line or quilt it with any other fabrics. It fits nicely over the existing cover and it comes off easily for washing. Bonus!
Here are a couple 'non-baby' projects:
I sewed an apron for my niece's birthday. I added a little gathered inset for fun - I had to do a little girly sewing :).
I also painted a tree in Peanut's room last week. Slowly, but surely, his room is coming together.
Yep, we're staying busy over here. But it's a good busy - it keeps me out of trouble ;).
