New Projects

For Christmas my mom requested a cover for her sewing machine. She sent me a picture of the bedspread on the bed in the room shared with the sewing machine. It is not easy matching fabrics to a picture on a computer, let me tell you! I'm pretty pleased with the construction and how it looks; I just hope it looks good in her house.


A friend had a baby in November and her shower was just a couple of weeks ago. Actually, it was the Saturday of the week of ill. Because we were so sick, I didn't get to run to Target to get a cute gift, nor did I feel much like sewing. However, the day of the shower I felt more like sewing than Target-ing. Besides, I had such cute corduroy fabric that was crying to be used. Problem? I couldn't find a simple tutorial for a skirt for a 12-month old. Can you believe that? I couldn't. I tried to piece together dimensions from websites and this is what I got: two skirts that fit Rhett. That's right, about three years from now the new, sweet baby will be able to wear these. Sigh.


P.S. I'm in Utah! Hooray!
