Sewing

I dusted off my sewing machine today and finished 2 projects! It was a great way to beat the heat and to make some baby stuff that wasn't knitted.

I have been having issues with my knitting projects and they are in the naughty corner right now. The baby booties I was making to match the February baby sweater weren't working, not sure if it's me, or the pattern or both, but they were not making sense and I wasn't getting the same number of stitches as the pattern. The summer cotton onesie is doomed, because the cotton I bought is not thick enough to get a good gauge. I may try to make a baby kimono out of it, but I first have to swatch.

This is a full body baby bib! I bought all of the supplies for this back in January, but never got around to sewing it. I thought this was a very easy pattern to follow and sew! Perfect for someone like me who doesn't sew very often!



A more advanced beginner project - baby sling! I think it may be a little big, but I can fix it once the baby is here and see how she fits in it. It's a lady bug cotton material and the liner is a blue fleece.
