Only a bit over a week, and then its back to the daily grindstone for me. I am enjoying the holidays, but tiny part of me is getting teensy weensy bit bored. If I could eat chocolate, I would have had her subdued by now, but alas … chocolate is not allowed.
But …. This holiday has been a productive one for my sewing. I have been working on baby gifts for a group of preggy ladies in my life (is this something like a virus …. you don’t get it alone, you have to spread it around?). I finished one last week, as she was due this week. So here is what I made for her
A nappy bag, happily(?) modelled by my goofy husband.
   
Bibs and burp cloths
   
And a muslin – 130cm x 130c … a much more useful size than the store bought ones
In addition to the baby sewing, I have been trying to make other stuff. Inspired by an online forum, I decided to make my boy a pencil case for the new school year. He chose the fabric from my stash, but firmly resisted any attempts by me to “tizzy” it up, declaring that plain black was just fine for the inside. My boy is growing up I think.
I figured while I was making his, I would make a couple of things for my niece, using this fantastic skull fabric I just picked up …… I may use the scrap left for myself … it is so funky.
   
This isn’t everything I wanted to achieve this holidays, but its getting close.
