Feeling Crafty

I recently purchased a new sewing machine and have been thrilled with it!  I am enjoying being crafty again, and am having fun finding new baby items to make out of my old clothes that I never wear anymore.  Here are a few of the items I have made:

PJ pants.  These are for me, so that I can quit stealing Doug's pants.  None of mine fit me right now :)

Bib for Samantha;  matches  my pj pants :)


Burp cloths, obviously for the baby.  I also made a few boy-patterned cloths for a friend that is expecting shortly after me.

Pillowcase dresses.  This is the simplest pattern!  I will change out the green ribbon for white ribbon on the purple dress, but for now, here they are:

Baby skirts.  The pink one is for a newborn (this summer) and the green and white layered one is for next summer.  Both are gathered waists, so that I can adjust it to fit her tummy at the time :)


I am sure as I get better at this I will include more photos.  In the meantime, I am enjoying making little items for Samantha and spending some time preparing for this precious little girl.
