Projects

For Mother's Day, which was a fabulous day!, Jordan got me a sewing machine! I had been asking for one and he totally spoiled me! Sewing is definately an art that takes soooo long to perfect and I am no where near that perfection. To go down memory lane for a second... only if I new I would have a blog in my future I would have carried around a camera back then! So no pictures to document but I took a sewing class in high school for a year, maybe just a semester, with my good friends Robyn and Amber. We thought, oh this will be an easy A for sure... uh, our teacher was so strict with everything! I really didn't use anything I made out of the class, my measurements were always 2 sizes to small!, and I sewed my finger while chatting, going clearly to fast, yep needle broke off in 3 places in my index finger. Needless to say in the end with all of these mishaps it was still a great experience. This was nearly 8 years ago and little by little more memories keep flying back to memory as I try to pick up this new hobby. I mainly wanted to get this sewing machine for little, fun projects and to make fun baby gifts. So onto my first project....

A toddler swim cover-up! Isn't it the cutest thing ever! I was so proud of myself. My main intentions of making this was for my friend's little girl for her first birthday. But clearly this was going to be way to big. So onto the next one...

This cute little one. Poor Drake was my model and I think he knew I was putting something girly on because he hated it everytime! So it's towel on the inside and cotton on the outside. These were so much fun to make. Can't wait till I have another little girl!

Onto my next project... A missionary primary activity! I found out how to do this online and they turned out so cute! It is just one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper folded into a shirt and then I added the tie and tag, slipped the invite inside and wha- lah you have a cute invite! More pics to come of all the cute ideas my presidency and I have for this activity!
