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!

  1. Ok, if sewing machines weren't so expensive here, you would have inspired me to get one and start sewing. I'll just have to wait until we move home.
