I told you I had the sewing bug.

I whipped up this car seat cover blankie thing that I’ve been seeing everywhere. It was pretty easy once I had a machine that was working. I’ve wanted one for a while now… I should have been on the ball sooner though because Leah is getting to big to lug around in the bucket for much longer.

Peek a boo. There’s a baby inside. I chose this fabric because my car seat has orange accents. I don’t know why I felt like I had to match the car seat. I’m sure a pink girly one would have worked too but I’m happy the way it turned out.

Emma wanted in on the photo shoot. Ahh! Cute sisters.

I made one for my sister in law too. She has a boy but we thought this fabric from the same line would work well with her baby too. We bought these fun button kits so her buttons are made from my orange fabric. Get excited, Wend, it’s done.

(Dana, do you want one for your almost-here-wee-one?)

Yesterday I busted out my old Singer machine that I got from freecycle.org years ago. It’s a lovely old metal machine that smells like a penny but sews like a champ. When I initially got it, I had it tuned up at a small vacuum shop and they guy told me it should last forever. It always surprises me how smooth is sews.

In a few hours I whipped up a few nursing covers for some friends that are having babies.

While I was at it I had to try my hand at a skirt for Emma out of the scraps. I altered it a bit to much so it actually didn’t turn out to well. I had such a good time though, that I may just start sewing my brains out.

The wheels are turning… what else can I sew?
