Yesterday I made a bib for a friend who will be having a baby soon (I can't wait to meet this little guy!!) It was my first time sewing sharp curves so it didn't come out exactly like I wanted but I have some time to work on this! I had cut a pair of jeans off for Brooke and used the cut off part for the denim and the backing is from a receiving blanket that Brooke had when she was little. This blanket has special meaning for me. I found out I was pregnant in December of 2007 and had a few issues. On Christmas Eve we got a phone call that everything was fine and my mom got me this blanket and a few other baby things for Christmas that year. It was the very first thing she bought for Brooke.
My mom thought of my friend as her other daughter so I know she would be proud to see me making something for her baby boy that she had put thought into for her baby girl :)
I also made a pair of sleep shorts that was going to be for Brooke but I measured wrong so they were a wee bit small....but seriously the easiest way ever to make a pair of pants and I will definitely be making more! This tutorial is amazing!
This afternoon I made a short sleeve shirt into a long sleeved one. I found this blog where she takes socks and makes them arm warmers, but I thought I would try sewing the socks onto the sleeves so she wouldn't lose them. Because I know she would!!! It was so simple and took maybe 10 minutes just because I was going slow to keep my stitches straight and pinning the socks to the sleeves took a little bit, because I used a ton of pins to make sure they stayed put. But Brooke loves her new-ish shirt!
Hopefully I can get her to take it off soon so she can wear it to school tomorrow!
