More sewing projects...

It seems like that's all I've done lately. I think it's so fun to buy fabric!

I always tend to make things pink and brown for girls, so I thought I'd give pink and black a try! I really like the combo! And who doesn't LOVE this minky on the back!? So I made this for someone and haven't given it to her yet...hope she's not looking at my craft blog ;)


SKIRTS
I decided to make a skirt for my Lucy! I found this adorable fabric at JoAnn's and free tutorials online!

I just added a little ruffle at the bottom. Don't mind the spill on her shirt...it looked really cute before lunchtime :)

This one is a bubble skirt! I think these are so cute. I thought this corduroy fabric would be perfect, but it's actually a little too heavy. Knit or cotton would be way better!

I can't believe how cheap and EASY it is to make skirts. I think I might have an addiction problem. I keep wanting to get back to the store for more fabric for the next skirt!! Does anyone know, did the baby boutique on 17th get rid of their fabric section?!

Aaaahhh! Was it really February the last time I posted! That's pretty funny. I guess crafting takes a back seat to mothering and fun summer activities!

Well, here are a few of the things I've managed to squeeze in lately!

Retro Apron

I'm not kidding, I bought this pattern and fabric about 6 months ago. I just got around to making it finally! I love it. All except for the blue ribbon. I just had it laying around and used it because there is a little of blue on there. Well, it looks pretty dumb. I think I'll unstitch that part!
The real reason I waited so long was because I was afraid to use a pattern! It was my first time and I wanted my mom to help me :) Turns out it wasn't that scary at all and I finished most of it with no help!

CAR SEAT COVER-Rag Quilt Style!

Okay, great story here! One day this lady calls me out of the blue and asks me if I make car seat covers. She needed it in two days for a baby shower. She got my number from my friend that she met at JoAnn's. I say sure and we agree on a price. We went with the green, pink and brown theme (which I LOVE). I put green straps on it and some pink flowers.
Anyway, I get a call a couple of days later and the lady's sister tells me that the girl I made it for is actually a girl I knew from Logan way back in the ol' college days! (She lives in this area now though and we have a mutual friend in my ward and I've run into her a couple of times at Target and stuff). I was so excited! I'm glad I made it for someone who I know will love and appreciate it! It's a small world!


CAMERA STRAP

I know, this is kind of a boring one :) and a not so sexy pic of me... BUT look at that cute fabric I found for my strap. So much prettier than the black with bright red CANON written across it!
