I have been really into sewing recently, and I have gotten to make some really fun projects. My sewing machine isn't exactly something practical to fit in the car with us when we are traveling but I didn't want to put it in our POD, so it has been hanging out at my parent's house. I got it back a few weeks ago because I had some projects I needed to get done and I have enjoyed getting to sew again. Here are some of my favorite things I have gotten to make:
A swimsuit cover-up!
State love pillows for my friend Hannah
Decorative pillows. This is a Bible verse from Ruth which is really appropriate for all our traveling!
This is one of my favorite things to make for all my preggo friends! It is a "taggie" blanket which is supposed to be fun for the baby to chew on all the ribbons. I really love getting to pick out all the fabrics and ribbons.
Excuse the terrible selfie, but this is my most recent project, a super fun and bright headband! It didn't take long at all and really livens up my scrubs. I got a lot of compliments on it at work, except for one patient who told me I looked like a clown. It's a great, simple project for leftover fabric.
I also made the skirt that I was wearing when we went to the races (see previous post: Friday Night at the Races) which was the most challenging I have attempted so far. I am always on the look out for more fun projects, in other words I am on Pinterest a lot. I especially love sewing things for other people! It's really something I have a lot of fun with, although I have a complete inability to cut in a straight line (even when I mark it!) which can get pretty frustrating when I am cutting fabric. I am definitely going to miss my sewing machine once we travel to our next location!
I am so excited that tomorrow is Friday! Today was one of those weeks that felt really long, and I am definitely ready for the weekend. Not sure what we will be doing this weekend! Hope you have a great end of your week!
