been sewing...

made this little adornment for a plain grey onesie that i bought for $2 at target.
made this apron for Toni for her birthday (sorry it's just a phone pic). she loves aprons, so i thought it'd be the perfect gift. i love the fabric i found for it, i'm glad i bought extra. i made this roughly based on an apron i had. kind of made it up as i went. it wasn't too bad for my first real piece.

i also made an apron for Rayanne for her birthday. she bought me this book called One Yard Wonders. it's a bunch of fun sewing projects you can make with one yard of fabric or less. so i made a "clothespin apron" from one of the patterns in that book. it's just a waist apron, it doesn't come up on your torso. it turned out pretty decent since i had a little practice with Toni's apron. it was a much more difficult task though. i've never really followed such a detailed and intensive pattern before. in fact i didn't understand parts of it so i kind of winged it on those parts. i forgot to take a picture of the finished product, so Ray if you're reading, take a pic and send it to me so i can post it!
