sewing 101

well ive been trying my hand at sewing recently. and what better sorts of projects then baby items?! thanks to pinterest and a co-worker ive got a few ideas on baby shower gifts and just things i want to do for our little one.

so since my friend lauras baby was due beginning of february i thought id try my hand at two projects. one being a velcro diaper & wipes band. im sure theres a better name for it somewhere but oh well. simply put you wrap this around those so you dont have to haul your huge diaper bag into a changing room. or should i say your hubs doesnt have to haul a huge diaper bag? i dunno. seems like it would come in handy, especially for short errands or something.

and the second project was burp cloths. just to make em a bit more cute than plain white. cuz who wants that?!!? 


thankfully these were pretty simple projects just 4 straight lines. they arent 100% perfect but im ok with that. practice make perfect right?! right.

now onto making more of these for my own collection and attempting to make other things. like bibs, crib sheets etc. we will see how far i get with those and if i need any help from my mom when it comes to sewing non straight edges or adding things like elastic.
