Cloth diapers2

Pretty in pink

Angela is so teeny tiny that the 42 super-cute cloth diapers I made her are WAY too big. They’re for babies 8 to 20 pounds and at just under 6 pounds Angela is swimming in newborn clothes and has no hope of fitting into the diapers. I didn’t make any diapers in the newborn size […]

Soft books make great baby gifts

I have managed to complete one sewing project since I’ve had Angela, a soft book for my nephew’s first birthday. He is absolutely in love with Mickey Mouse, so when I saw a soft book panel featuring the Mickey characters, I knew I had to make him one for his birthday. At one-year-old he wants […]

Big progress is happening this month in the Block of the Month. We’re going to finish the blocks for the first pieced border.  We’re making double pinwheels all from squares, which means there are no triangles to cut. Just watch the video for step by step instructions on how to put them together. As always, […]

Baby Sweater

If only I could sew with my feet up

I did manage to get some sewing done last weekend, but thanks to an epic case of pregnant swelling, I’ve had to spend a good amount of time sitting on the couch with my feet up. While some might consider a prescription to rest an excellent idea, I hate it. I’ve been so bored. The […]
