Pinterest projects

Thanks to a friend who hosted a Pinterest party last weekend, I was able to finish a pair of cribsheets and a boppy cover for Baby #2 last weekend! And because last weekend was so productive, I felt motivated to tackle another project for Z that has been on my to-do list for awhile.  I've been wanting to make a teepee like the ones I've seen on a bunch of different blogs over the last couple years.  So I finally just hunkered down today...and with the help of my hubby...got it done! Here are some pictures of the finished projects!

The crib sheet tutorial can be found here.

  The fabric I had was not wide enough so I had to add additional fabric to increase the width.  I didn't have enough of the fabric I wanted to use for the sheet below, so I improvised and figured the mismatched fabric wouldn't show when I put it on the crib mattress.   


The Boppy cover tutorial can be found here.

I used the directions for the teepee from this blog.

New shirt for Z!

I finished another sewing project... that I started in January 2012. Yep, that's 2012, not 2013. It was a busy 2012, what can I say? :) Anyways, I'm glad that it fits Z despite my delay. This is the first time I've worked with interfacing and buttonholes! So it was definitely a challenge. 

This is the way that Z styled the shirt :) With my boots and a basket full of Disney characters.

Hopefully I won't take more than a year to post my next project!
