My main hobby is collecting fabric, but occasionally I will whip something up.

It’s been WAY too long since I posted about the last sewing experiment. But I have been sewing A LOT lately since work has been non existent. Everything I do is for baby. And I have decided to keep it that way after attempting to sew a full/queen sized quilt for the R.S. humanitarian aid service project a few months ago. I am now an expert at picking out stitches.

Baby is just better, and cuter in my opinion. Plus just about every body I know is pregnant right now and these make great gifts.

Nursing covers and matching burp cloths.

I buy the white baby diapers in the automotive section at Target, great advice from a good friend. They are softer and more absorbent than a regular baby diaper.

I got a serger for Christmas. I’m still not sure how to use it, but these blankets are the quickest things to do.

It should say “poop” huh? Vanessa thinks so too.  Maybe the next one will.

Etsy is a serious lifesaver for finding fabric. There just aren’t good stores here in Houston. Most of the fabric I order from Etsy comes straight from Provo. Provo must have some great stores I just don’t know about.

The R.S. humanitarian aid quilt

All the fabric was donated by members of my ward and all I had to do was cut and sew. What a beast to sew 80″ x 80″. Glad that one is over. Definitely not my proudest or cutest project. I took these pictures with  my phone, definitely not the best lighting.

Today’s eye candy. I don’t know if I can get myself to cut it.
