Dusted Off the Sewing Machine

I got out the sewing machine this weekend. I wanted a sling for my chuncky little baby now that we can not carry him in the infant carseat. I looked up instructions online and went shopping with my mom-in-law and got some cute material and put one together. When you buy the fabric it makes two so I made one for us and one for my cousin who is due in July.

I was then inspired to make a hooded bath towel. I was given one for William when he was born and it was heavy duty and big. I found some new towels (2 towels, 2 hand towels and 2 washcloths) on clearance. I bought yellow and green. I made one with a washcloth. It turned out okay. We will keep that one to use with William. (poor kid gets all the screw up stuff). Then made a yellow one for my cousin. I also ordered some towels from overstock.com and they should be here soon. 4 towel: one for William Magee, one for Brody, one for Bobby and one for Scotty. I am looking for some boy ribbon to put along the front or the sides of the boys. * by looking I mean it is on my list of things to do when Kurt is watching William.*

I then saw a website that gives ideas of things to do with old clothes. I am planning on making William a fleece lined wool hat. I bought the perfect sweater at GW's for 3 bucks. That is something I will tackle this weekend or sometime this week.

I am finding that I have to just make time to do these things, otherwise there would be no time. I am loving it.
