Why I’ve Been Away

I’ve been doing a little sewing….

a nursing cover for a friend (and a matching taggie blanket that somehow didn’t get photographed)

first attempt at a pillowcase dress (had to be taken apart later and reworked!) and Prudent Baby flower hairclip

another pillowcase dress with Daddy and Micah’s favorite fruit  :)

matching sister dresses for a family that handed down so many things for Heidi

Taggie blanket- gift for Baby Kate

taggie blanket for Miss Heidi, she loves it so much (BTW-this fabric is a favorite and discontinued and I can’t find a scrap of it, which makes me very sad because I only had this little piece for her blanket-Feathered Friends by Wendy Slotboom)

a onesie dress with a yoyo flower (tutorial by Prudent Baby-they are the best!)

Heidi’s Easter Dress – very easy until the buttonhole issues…every practice and scrap piece made beautiful buttonholes, but every time I would get going on the actual dress, it would jam up and make a mess.  I pulled it out I don’t know how many times, but if I had to pull one more out, I would have had to remake the dress.  Yep, that bad!  Let’s just say this, I didn’t have the cut the hole too much after the last stitching…the hole was nearly there already.  :(

To be continued……
