Baby Projects

Wow, it's been a while! I am such a scatter-brained pregnant mom that I have been SO bad about blogging. I'm working on getting better though! When I have the funds and time I really want to start on some fun projects for my new little bundle. I have some super fun stuff in mind! Headbands, onsies, a quilt...

Anywho, I finally opened up my sewing machine that my Mom got me for Christmas. It was pretty intimidating since I've never really been the sewing type. I've always been the glue gun type. Anyone with me? Needless to say, it was quite the ordeal just trying to figure this thing out! 

I finally got a bobbin threaded and figured out how to follow the instructions and get the machine threaded so I could start on my first project, a burp cloth. I have 4 of them so far, but none of them are finished. I still need to learn that invisible stitch to finish them up.

And this is my sewing machine! So pretty :) Once I got started and actually used it it wasn't so bad! I think I actually enjoy it just a bit.
 And my first burp cloth! Those were supposed to be actual corners... but they're a little rounded. Oh well. Practice makes perfect, right?

This was my first attempt at round corners. Not too shabby, eh?
This one was my first attempt at the shoulder cut style (supposed to fit better over your shoulder) and it came out a bit crooked, but hey, it was my first try!

My husband asked me to also make him some rice bean bags for his gun case to soak up any moisture that will find it's way in there. I made them with the only material I had which was girly! lol
