I haven't put anything on our blog for a while and John and I have been getting a little crafty lately, so I thought I would put up a post. John made the COOLEST wooden clock (which is currently on sale at http://www.etsy.com/). I made a patchwork skirt, an apron, and a baby sling. I'm just learning to sew and my mother-in-law has LOTS of fabric for me to practice on. So here are some of the projects I have undertook!
My patchwork skirt! I ended up wearing it for Halloween though and walking up some front steps while trick or treating with Rhett, I stepped on the botton trim of satin and tore it a little bit. I didn't finish the satin cut edge so it frayed and is rendered unfixable without replacing it with another piece of satin. Well, I guess I learned my lesson to finish or treat raw edges of satin!
This is the apron I made. I found this material and loved it. The apron turned out cute though! My only complaint is that the neck strap is a little long, so the apron hangs lower than I want it to, but that is easily fixable.
Here is the baby sling I made. My friend was raving about the one she bought, but they are a little pricey and there was a free pattern on line, so I thought I would try it out. Rate likes the hip carry on it the best but I have succeeded in getting him to sleep it it while John and I are traveling with our scrapbooking shows. I think it's more comfy than falling asleep sitting up in an Infentino carrier. Also great for nursing in public!
