Sewing for Cara

I've been sewing for my niece who is having a baby girl.  I like to sew but lately I just haven't been in the mood but since her baby is due soon I thought I better get to it.

I took a pink onesie and some scraps I had and cut out a crown.

for the princess to be.

I decided to make her a bib to go with the pink onesie

Don't you just love scraps.

I thought I would make her a tutu.

I cut the onsie in half so I could sew on the skirt.

I attached the bottom half of the onsie to the top.

She is going to look adorable in her tutu.

So while I was at the sewing machine I decided to cover this pillow in burlap.

I thought I would just make an envelope for it just in case I wanted to change it later.

I wanted to put something on it but I can't decide what, so I'm still thinking about it, maybe an initial, or a crown not sure yet, stay tuned for that.  Have you ever worked with burlap? what a mess I'm still finding fibers in the strangest of places.

Monkey Business

Just wanted to share a story with you all.  My grandaughter's were here today and they never fail to leave little reminders of thier visit's.

I have this sitting on top of a book case, it's were we put our spare change.

This is what I found later that night. 

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more of my life in 1000sqft.

With all my heart,

Yolanda
