I finally finished all the baby projects that I had planned to make. I was thinking of making a blessing dress for her also, but my mom actually volunteered to sew her a blessing dress, maybe using my wedding dress as the fabric. I don't really care, I thought it sounded good to me, so I don't have to stress about it.
So, here is what I made for baby girl:
 |
Nursing shawl |
This was my first project. I had never made a nursing shawl before. It was the first time that I had ever used elastic and boning, which was super, super intimidating. BUT, it ended up being a lot easier than I expected. It's a full coverage nursing shawl, so it covers my back also. I don't know how often I'll use it in the summer, but it should be fine for now.
 |
car seat cover |
These are the best things to make. So simple, quick, etc. I've changed up the tutorial that I use a little bit so the straps are more snug on the carrier handle. I really like the way this turned out. The colors and fabric are so cute.

Baby blankie, backed with Minky. |
So, this is another project that I made that is nice for her car seat. It was the first time I used Minky though, so it was hard to keep straight. And I am very, very glad that I now have my amazing Babylock machine to help. This would have been impossible on that very first machine that I bought. I had some issues too, because the bobbin ran out while I was doing one side and I had already pulled out most of the pins.

Burp Cloths |
The burp cloths are made from scrap fabric I had laying around and chenille. I made five for myself, and the rest of the chenille I am saving to make for baby shower gifts for friends. They are really easy and so soft. I have a feeling that the baby will love putting her face on the burp cloths.
