Mom's Runner

On a table runner kick, can you tell? But this one's for my mom. :)

Inspired by this tutorial over at the Moda Bakeshop. 

Not quite sure if the modern pattern works with the traditional fabrics. I mean, it works but I don't know that I'd do it again. 

Animal Runner

Made an easy peasy table runner for an upcoming shower. I used 3 greys, 2 yellows, and 3 teals. 

Cut out 6 rectangles measuring 4 3/4" x 9".

Cut out (6) 4 3/4" squares.

Cut out (3) 5" squares, then cut diagonally to come up with 5 triangles. 

Lay 'em out and sew 'em up!

Hair Bows for Valentines

Whipped out some little fabric bows for some Valentines this year. Super fast and easy! 

Basically like this.

I was so blessed to be asked to make a baby quilt for a friend's little girl due this summer. She picked out some great fabrics and sent a picture of something similar to what she wanted and I got to take it from there! I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! (Forgive the little wrinkles. I knew it was about to be rolled up and that ironing it again would really be pointless.)

 

I kept track of my measurements, so here they are:

Car Seat Makeover

My mom was here a couple weeks ago and it's kind of amazing how much more productive I am when she's around. ;-) We had two sewing projects, both unnecessary, but I am SO THANKFUL that we were able to do them! So much more cheerful.

The old car seat was a minty green and very pale orange, with brown binding. It arrived in the mail a week before the little man was due, so I didn't want to risk returning it even though it was most definitely *not* the color scheme I had thought I was purchasing.

We saved the brown binding, but went a little more cheery on the rest:
