Baby Gifts

I have had a lot of fun sewing these burp cloths. They are so easy to make and turn out so pretty! I think the frayed edges make them different from the average cloth. The more they wash, the more they fray. I found the idea on a blog I read quite regularly. The stores have so many beautiful flannel prints! This is a set I made for my cousin's little baby, Gabrielle. The other two sets I made were for boys. I have fabric ready to sew and cut out for whenever I need a quick baby gift.

Costume Fun

We had a great time at the party on Saturday night. Macy made her dress with a little help from me. We finished all of it except her zipper. We just safety pinned it until we can get to it this week. We still have a Fall Festival to go to on Saturday night. Tressa actually wore her dress to church yesterday. She loves it. Lathen's costume is almost finished. I didn't have time to make his feet. We'll see if that gets done this week. : ) The boys costumes were bought and some things were pulled together from previous years. I love when that happens!

Prairie Girl

It's finished! Well, almost. The zipper is basted and just needs to be sewn. My new replacement foot (which really isn't the right one) won't let me use my zipper foot. The needle bumps into the metal. I'll figure out that problem in the next day or two. We have such a love for the old t.v. series Little House on the Prairie. We've been known to have watching marathons. While I have been sewing late at night on this dress for Tressa, I've been watching the DVD's for inspiration. It's been so much fun! This is the final product and the boots I found at the Thrift store for $2.00! Macy is sewing on her dress and I don't know if I'll get to mine (it's cut out and ready). Lathen is going to be our rooster! It's cut out and ready to be sewn!
