Finishing up

Well, I've been working my tail off on this stuff! I've got my burp cloths, swaddling blankets, fleece blanket and a sheet done. All that's left is two more sheets. I keep procrastinating on those last two for some reason. I have  a "rib out" as my OB says and boy is it painful! I can't sit at the sewing machine for very long, and as this baby gets bigger, just sitting up in general is getting difficult. At least I've not got much longer to go!

Finished burp cloths. I used THIS tutorial.

After the first couple cloths, I decided to not sew down the lines of the diaper. I don't have a walking foot so the ones I did do like that got bunched up.

Satin trimmed blanket. I loved mine and the other girls have one, so I had to make another. They are possibly my favorite thing to make! I love the orangey color with the fuchsia!

Fitted pack n play sheet using THIS tute.

Hint: Make your hem wide enough and use the largest safety pin that will fit! It took forever to thread that elastic using a little basting pin... especially since my hem line was a little wonky.

My growing stack of finished items :)

My last two sheets and my nighttime reading...

So, that's what I've been working on this weekend while Josh was working. I just hope my rib will stop hurting long enough for me to finish those last two sheets so I can get on to the fun crafts I want to do with the girls.

WIP it!

I've got a lot of WIP (works in progress) going on right now. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's really all I can think about until it's done! Just some sheets, burp cloths and swaddling blankets to go. At least they go together a lot faster than a quilt - but cutting them isn't exactly easy when you have a giant belly and can only cut in the floor!

What's left of my Heather Ross stash...

Flannel waiting to become a sheet

Lots of flannel for lots of goodies!

Burp cloths, swaddling blankets, sheets and a fleece blanket with satin trim.

I hope the girls like their fleece blankets as much as I did. Mamaw made one for my brother when he was born and he gave it to me when I was born (10 years later) and I carried that thing with me wherever I went for years. Okay... I was a little TOO attached to mine, but it got me through many break-ups and tornado warnings. It was just so special for me to have something that 1) was made by Mamaw and 2) had belonged to my brother. I still can't walk past the girls' blankets without winding the satin around my finger...

Yeah, I know, I have a problem.

Anyway, that's what I'm working on right now. Hopefully everything will be done soon. I've got a few little things planned with my girls to help them get ready for the new baby. I found some things on Pinterest that look really interesting...
