Bib for a 1-year-old

my friend's son's birthday party is tomorrow and i made him something special, but then i thought, hey, there's this bib pattern i've been meaning to try out- you can buy it here:

at JCasaShop on Etsy.

and so i whipped one out tonight. it took longer than the suggested 1/2 hour but i think the result was good and it was simple enough that i can see making many for my own baby and for presents for others in the future. you can use one solid piece of fabric or do a patchwork like this, as the pattern creator suggests.

anyway, i hope he and his parents like it! it was fun to make as things are when you can choose fabrics for someone.

More floor cushions for wee ones

so i just finished making two more floor cushions for two different friend's kids. it's so much fun to make these because, unlike quilts, i can make them in about a day and get them done! quilts are much more personal can be customized in fun, interesting ways, but they take a long time.

so here are photos of the finished products. i'm off to make a couple more and hopefully some cat blankets for my local shelter and then maybe a quilt for the baby i'm about to have any second. we'll see if he lets me get that far! i'm about 9 1/2 months pregnant and get soooo tired so easily, but watching tv and sewing is kind of my happy place right now.

again, i got this pattern from Living with Punks.

Floor Cushions for Twins

i finally finished two floor cushions for a friend who has twin boys who are just past the 6-month mark. hopefully they will enjoy them!

i got the pattern from Living with Punks here.
