I have been busy lately with lots of sewing projects, and I love it! I have made gifts for three baby showers last week, Christmas t-shirts for my nieces, and I even had my first official paid order! WooHoo!
I made burp cloths, onesies, and bibs for the baby shower gifts, and I think I might have been more excited about them than the mothers-to-be were. Not that they didn't like them, but I was really about to burst.
Those bibs were super easy (I followed this tutorial), and I was really pleased with the way they turned out. I did need one practice run before I made one I was satisfied with, but I am like that with everything I make. My old habit of perfectionism...
Here are the t-shirts I am sending to my nieces in the mail tomorrow:
I can't believe I haven't made one of these for Cara yet. These were so quick and easy that I'm sure I could make hers a weeknight project.
And finally, I was super excited that someone actually wanted to BUY t-shirts. Like place an order and purchase them. I was beyond flattered. Here's what I ended up making to go on the shirts:
And so now that I have those projects finished, maybe I should start on Christmas presents because I am not planning to buy any presents; Operation Handmade Christmas is on. Maybe I should have started a little earlier...
I wish I had as much energy and ambition as you. I would love to sew, but I don't ever have time :(
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed. I can hardly sew on a button (truly). I wish I could make things! My Christmas break project is to work on Jack's scrapbook - he is only 10 weeks old in it :)
