Sewing Projects...

Well, you may wonder where I've been the past 10 days...no blogging for me I've been too busy finishing up some sewing projects! For all those who have a toddler, you will understand that if anything productive gets done during the day it's either during nap time OR after bed time. Needless to say...being 33 weeks preggo...I'm exhausted once Bella goes to bed so I am soon to hit the pillow too! Which means that in order to finish up some projects, I had to use my 2 hours of nap time each day! =)

The nursery is not yet complete..but it's getting closer! We have all the necessary "baby items" washed and cleaned and neatly organized in the closet/drawers. The bedding is complete, curtains...and I've even managed to complete a few decorative items!

Here's the comfy, soft changing cover I made out of "minky-dot" fabric...

The little quilt I made with the extra Madras bedding fabric...(the back of the blanket is "minky-dot" and it's stuffed with "quilting padding")...

I used some scraps to sew curtain tie backs (I'm hoping for the navy curtains I registered for...but if not these will work just fine!)...

The crib bumpers (Madras plaid) and crib skirt (navy/white seersucker)...I debated whether or not to make the bumpers full and fluffy like Bella's were or to make them thin. I went with the fluffy style because Bella has so enjoyed using hers as "pillows"...

Appliqued flags with his name on them...

(I should have ironed and pressed these before posting...but you'll get the idea.)

Coordinating first outfits for when Jackson and Isabella first meet each other!!!...

Outfits for day #2...with a coordinating bow of course...

And, before packing up my sewing machine for a little while...we desperately needed some outdoor cushions for our patio chairs. The chairs/table are on on their last life...a bit rusty and old. I cleaned them good with some bleach and water...then sewed these cushions. (All for under $9!) The cheapest cushions I found were $12 a piece! I love when I save money sewing!!!
