Future Projects...

Okay so I think I am getting ahead of myself.... I keep finding all these "simple" sewing projects that I just HAVE to make before Aiden arrives. I don't doubt that I can do them, even though I am a newbie to using a sewing machine, but I don't want to forget all of them. So this is more of a list for me, but you can all enjoy too.

I have already done 8 of these, but I'm putting it on my list because I want to do more, and I have 4 more I can currently do without buying anything new! I better get to it! This is a picture of the ones I've already done.

picture is from her website as well, too cute! I'd like to make 2 or 3 of these so I can rotate them in the wash. 3. Nursing Covers courtesy of Pinkatilly or Bliss Tree.

picture from Karma Baby - not a pic of me. I'm not sure if I will like this or not, but I figured it's soo easy why not give it a try?
5. Aiden's snuggly blanket.

Now this isn't from a website, I got some brown minky fabric and some yellow flannel with monkeys dressed as pirates on it. It was super cute and the craft store had a simple blanket made with the same two fabrics. So I'm going to make my first blanket with the intent that it will be the one Aiden curls up with and that I throw in the diaper bag. Here is the fabric.

There you have it - my growing sewing to-do list. I feel like I'm leaving something out, but that's all I can think of right now. I am also going to do some aprons and matching kitchen towels for Christmas presents to my girlfriends, but well, those can wait, and hopefully won't take long. Mom and I also signed up today for a 4 week quilting class to learn and put together a full size quilt. Not a simple blanket, like a fancy old fashioned quilt. That will be in September, I'm a bit scared, but super excited about this.
