Using T-Shirt Scraps

Here's my latest creation using T-Shirt scraps:

These pouches were made using the sleeves from t-shirts. I just randomly sewed scraps onto the t-shirt sleeves and made some (odd-shaped) drawstring pouches.

I think I'll use some of them to keep my son's toys together. I'll have a tutorial on how to make them soon.

Fuzzy Ribbon Baby Toy II

I made another one of these fuzzy ribbon toys the other day. I actually made two before we had our little boy (one for a girl and one for a boy...just in case!) but I ran out of stuffing for both. So far, only the girly one has been completed. The embroidery isn't quite as good as my first attempt (the bear, found here).

So my little boy doesn't have a fuzzy ribbon toy right now! I don't think he minds...

It’s a BOY!

I am so excited to say that we had our baby last Monday! It has taken me this long to get it onto the blog…I LOVE being a mommy to two boys but wow, newborns are lots of work! I’ve been trying to rest when possible (going to bed at 9 pm! napping when I can get both boys to nap at the same time!) so that I don’t turn into a complete grouch.

The baby weighs 8# 14 oz and is 21.5 inches long. He was a big guy! And if anyone is interested…I had a successful VBAC. (I had a C-section with our older son because he was breech.)

 

We’re moving into our house next week!

Talk about a lot of changes in our lives!

Here’s two pictures of this last week’s progress in the kitchen and our fireplace in progress.

Zipper Pouch with Flower

Here's another zipper pouch I made using the tutorial I posted here.

This one is tiny, just the right size for change. I made it out of the remaining pants I repurposed into a maternity skirt.

Taffeta Flower Headbands

My 6 year-old cousin will be getting a few new headbands next time I see her...

I made one in each color for myself, too. I used the same steps I wrote about in this tutorial to make them.
