Recent Projects

It seems I only find the time to post about once a month! Hopefully I can find the time to post more often...but something always seems to take priority.

I have been working on a few small projects here and there.  Nothing huge or even very time consuming...I have found that sometimes I enjoy the small projects most.  I also got two new bag patterns, and hope to be making a couple of new bags here in the near future.  I will keep you posted...but for now, here are some fun and simple projects that you can do too!


I love to make nursing covers.  They are SUPER simple and a lot of fun to put together.  I especially love picking out the fabric...that is my favorite part.  I found this tutorial on one of my favorite sites- Prudent Baby.  They have ideas for so many wonderful things, I could brouse their site for days.  You can check them out and find the tutorial HERE.


This one I kind of made up on my own- but they are really easy.  Numbered Bean Bags.  I made these for my nephew who recently turned one.  I bought three different colors of felt from JoAnns, the kind on the bolt.  Cut out numbers and made beanbags (using rice instead of beans, it's more affordable).  I had fun with this...and will probably make a set for my little guy as well.

Lastly, can you guess from the picture what my next project was??


 

If you guessed the tie, then you are correct!  I had bought this pattern a while back and recently found the time to try it out!  I was really happy with the results and can't wait to make more.  The pattern I used was from Little Londyn: Little Guy Ties  I purchased my pattern from a local quilt shoppe - but you can purchase them online as well.  The pattern includes 5 different ties- even one for daddy as well!  I will definitely be making my boys matching ties...won't that be fun! 

What projects have you been working on?!
Until next time (hopefully it won't be another month)!  Happy sewing.

New Look, New Domain.

I am trying really hard to 'tweak' this blog look...until I take some web design class I doubt it will ever look just the way I want it.  BUT this will do.  ALSO be sure to add Cinderella Sews to your blog list - we have a new address  http://www.cinderellasews.com/ !! 

Just for fun, here is a holiday craft I found online that I can't wait to try!  Maybe you can enjoy it too.  Check it out HERE.
