just a stitch at at time

it’s so hard to find the time to get everything out and sit down and create stuff.  I recently found time and was able to complete yet another (and best one so far) camera strap. This one though, I cannot post pictures of because it could be a Christmas gift for someone special who I do not want to see it. I’ll just have to save the picture for later :)

I also was able to mend some of Josh’s pants. Surprise: I’ve never mended anything before except a hole in a smock for work-where the seam had just torn. The pants turned out alright and will hopefully last a bit longer! (we’ll see how good they turned out after they go through the wash…*fingers crossed*)

I also did some work on my bay window curtains. I discovered I could sew the rings on with my sewing machine and that made the process so much faster! I’ve been putting off doing some final hand sewing-I really hate that part-but now it’s done. I’ve been thinking of some touch ups I’d like to do to them-maybe adding some buttons or some hidden snaps where they could use some help hanging just right when pulled up (they’re loooong roman shades) They will mostly live up but if I ever want to close the window I can!

Stuff :)

See, I have been working on a little bit of stuff!

This is the same camera strap-I just really like it :)

I made some baby stuff…these are burp clothes made with cloth diapers and embellished with flannel and ribbon…

These are also more burp clothes…whole different technique though. Flannel backing….

and thinner cloth diapers to soak stuff up. I made 6 total…

 

This was a little set I made…I think they turned out cute…
It’s a wipes case, diaper case, and changing pad… The changing pad is held together by the little elastic and folds nicely into a compact travel size. It unfolds and has a nice towel side for the baby to lay on. The ‘scrunchi’ is attatched so it won’t be lost.

Well that it for now. i’m partially done with some binky clips, they’re cute but not finished.

Another one!

No, this isn’t the only thing I’ve been up to. I’ve made some other stuff too…I’ll take pics. All I’ve got right now are cell phone pics and they aren’t so great. This one was also a cell phone pic but it’s okay.

When I started this camera strap I wasn’t sure if it was going to be another ‘practice’ for me or an actual gift. Overall I’m happy with how it turned out so someone might be getting it in their stocking! I’m planning on making more as well. I’m afraid this is going to be like my purse and shoes theory-you can’t have to many.
