Pajama pants

I made some new pajama pants for the kids yesterday. Austin got a new pair of Charlie Brown Christmas pajamas and Abigail (and her baby) got matching argyle ones!

Our house if full of static! Check out this crazy girls hair!

Check out this cute little guy wearing the turkey shirt I made him! He'll be ready for Turkey Day next month!

A visit and more projects

My Mom and Grandma were here for the weekend. We pretty much hung out the whole weekend. However, we did work on a couple of projects yesterday.

My Mom has never sewn before, so we got her started on helping with a bag for herself.

She did an awesome job, and an even better job modeling her bag for pictures!



I saw a tutorial on how to make a lego bag and knew I needed to make one for Austin. He L.O.V.E.S legos and we're quickly running out of space to store them all.

This is so cool! I love it!

It's basically a huge circle that spreads out on the floor.

When you're all done playing and ready to clean up, you just pull the strings on the side and tie the bag up!

After they left this morning, I got busy on the sewing machine again. First up was a crayon and coloring book bag for Abigail.

I used left over material from the bags my Grandma and I made here.

Abigail loves to color, so this is going to come in handy.

Next up was a crayon roll for Austin.

This size was for his Crayola twistables. I'll have to try a smaller size for crayons.

Oh sew Abby

Since I'm still unemployed, I've had a lot of time to work on sewing! Here's something else I whipped up for Abigail. I got the shirt brand new (with the tag still on it) at Goodwill for $2.99 and I already had the fabric!

Fun baby shower gifts

I sewed up some sweet little baby shower gifts for one of my friends. I used several sizes so that he'll be able to enjoy them for months!

The baby's name starts with a "C"

I also whipped up some adorable burp cloths. I love how they came out!

I must give credit where credit is due, the rocket and octopus patterns came from this website.

Bag mania

More sewing projects!

A lunch bag!

My newest sewing project

My Grandma and I have been busy bees with my sewing machine. I made this baby blanket for a girl at work who is due to have a baby in May.

We've been busy!

Grandma Great arrived last night and we've already been busy today! We went to ballet, had donuts for breakfast, gone grocery shopping and finished two sewing projects!

First was a dress for Abigail.

I added a little spice to one of Austin's t-shirts too! He wouldn't give me the time of day to take his picture.

Hopefully we'll have more pictures and projects to show off while Grandma Great is here! We've got a lot to catch up on anyways for my lack of blogging!
