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

Sewing for Amarrisa

Hi there well here are the things I've been sewing up for Amarrisa

I made her a bib, burp cloth and a changing pad.  I don't  know if you can see but, the changing pad  has rubber sheeting on the back, my Jessika has been asking me to make her a changing pad so I went down to Joanne's to buy some rubber sheeting and it was way too much for me, so I was going to wait for a sale, then I was in the OC and I stopped to visit one of my favorite thrift stores there and I was rummaging thru one of the bins there and lo and behold what do you think I found, you got it rubber sheeting! at least 2 yards of it and on top of that, they had it for 50% off woo hoo a steal at 75 cents.

This was the first time I did the ruffle on the onesie, I think I could of done a better job but it was my first try the next one should come out better I hope.

Look at this, isn't it A-do-ra-ble,  Amarrisa is going to look cute in her tutu.  Hey can you see my darling mirror in the back, see the etching? I got that at one of my thrift store runs I love it! perfect for when I'm putting on the jewels.

Well that's it for now, stay tuned for more of what ever strikes my fancy.

With all my heart.
