Craft Alot?

I also had to include a picture of the car seat cover. This was a bit of a project as well, since it is only the second one I have made. I especially love the bows. I found a simple tutorial for them on pinterest (where else?). After finishing this and the crib bedding, I am about done with sewing for a while, thankfully I don't have any more projects right now that are pressing. Next projects - Baby Clothes, but not until after she arrives.

Crib Bedding

I decided to take on the adventure of sewing the crib bedding for our little girl. For two reasons and one is not because it is cheaper, but rather 1- I wanted the sewing experience and 2- I got exactly the pattern, colors and prints I wanted.

Crib bedding is pretty expensive, but because of some of the material I chose to use it was still a fairly even cost. The process taught me alot including confidence, and things I will do differently next time to simplify the steps. While there are a few mistakes, I am pleased and I know that my little girl won't care. If you are interested in a similar project, here is the blog I went off of. Click here.

I used a different blog for the crib skirt, but ended up having to tear it apart and start over. I have a weird bar thing in the middle of the front panel that prevent a straigth row of fabric from coming down. You can see what I did to work around that. My favorite part is the ruffle at the bottom and I guess I also love the birds, and the polka dots.

 

You can see we are storing some things underneath the crib. Still working on organizing everything.

Super Hero Capes

I am headed to girls camp this year as the assistant to the assistant camp director.... translation you ask- we are over the 6th year girls. The theme this year is Super Heroes and goes with the scripture D&C 115:5- "Verily I say unto you all: Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations."

The 6th year girls have chosen the name, 'Knights Rising' aka. Batman. The past few weeks I have put in several hours to making 12 of these beauties. I can't wait to present them to the girls and for them to get to wear them.

I also made some special capes for myself and the other 6th year leader. We are planning a surprise skit for the girls, kind of along the theme of 'If Justin Bieber and Jessica Black were Superheroes.' We still haven't ironed out all of the details yet, but are working on it.

I think the theme is going to be very powerful and am excited to watch the leadership of these 6th year girls. Now to just wrap up the craziness of getting everything together for it.
