Baby Projects

Since we've been back, and Darren's been back in school, I've been trying to find projects to keep myself busy. Since I love to sew I decided that's what I'd do!

Back in June, the sewing group in our ward decided to do a carseat sized baby quilt for our monthly project. I thought the timing was perfect since we're expecting next month.

We'd decided that we wanted to do his nursery in a baseball theme, so I took Darren to the fabric store and he helped me find some fabric that would work. I got it all quilted before we left for California, but hadn't done the binding until just last week.

I love how it turned out! 

The next thing on my list was to make the baby's Christmas stocking! I may have actually finished this project before finishing the quilt, but that's just because I was SO excited to work on it.

We got the fabric at a steal of a deal with JoAnn's coupons, and actually used one of the fabrics that is in the stockings I made for Darren and I last year so they're all connected. We figured we'd use a different fabric from ours for each of our kids' stockings. Hopefully they'll all end up looking this cute!

I ended up having to kinda sew it twice, due to a small error that made everything not match up, but I'm so glad I went back, ripped everything out and did it again. I made sure to make a note on the pattern this time so I wouldn't do the same thing for the next one ;)

Next project: Recover the rocking chair cushions for the nursery...
