Another Cover

Full view

A massage client of mine has had me create her a nursing cover already.  She loved it so much that she requested a second one as a back-up.  I love how this one turned out.  Very classy looking with the black/white and red accents.  She loved it!  What do you think?

Aprons

Well, I finally got around to finishing my first apron for a gift.  I think it turned out great and she loved it!  My sister in law has her kitchen and house decorated with all sorts of beautiful Chinese vases and art.  When I saw this fabric I just new that it was her and I had to do something with it.

More aprons will be forthcoming, but I have a few other projects to finish first.  Aprons like this one will be available for $20 in the fabrics of your choice.

Hood me!

Today I worked on a few more hooded towels.  These ones I plan on being for my three boys, but I loved how they turned out so I had to share.

Please let me know if you'd like one and if you have any requests for boys/girls and any colors you'd prefer.  Hooded towels are available for $15 each.  They all have the Wrap Me Up handles on the upper inside corners so the little munchkins can wrap themselves up after they're bathed.  They are made with full sized bath towels and a full sized hand towel for the hood.  Let me know what you think!

More covers and clips!

I'm SO excited about the last two covers that I've made! I also made Remind Me buttons so that they can more easily remember which side to start nursing on. Here's some pictures. Let me know what you think!

Nursing/Infant Pillow

Yesterday I finished my first nursing pillow! This one was made with the Brown paisley fabric I have available with a Brown and blue striped contrast. The inside corner has a hand-sewn "homemade with love ♥" label as well.

Fully lined with low-pile batting

Filled with 24 oz extra-loft batting

This one is for sale for $30. I can custom make a pillow or slipcover for you will your choice of fabrics. As always the fabrics are pre-washed in infant care detergent and ready for use. (Slip covers will be available for $15.)

Another gift for a friend

I made this nursing cover yesterday for another upcoming baby shower. My friend is welcoming a new baby girl after 9 years of just boys! I love that this is a modern and kind of funky design. I also like that it is feminine without being to "girly".

I really hope that she likes it!

My latest obsession

It seems like someone has turned on my creativity switch and I'm so excited! With four kids and a husband who works long hours it's hard to get excited about much on a day to day basis. I am really proud of how my first few projects have turned out and I'm looking forward to creating more.

My latest obsession has been sewing. My mom just got me my own machine and I am in love. A friend of mine referred me to a few other blogs for some projects I wanted to do for a baby shower. It has turned into so much more than that now.

I started with a nursing cover that turned out really cute. (Not bad for my very first attempt!)
















I also made her some a hooded towel and pacifier clips.


I have several more gifts to make, but so far I'm mostly sticking with the nursing covers.

It's crazy to me that people are actually offering me money to create something for them too. I guess I am lucky enough to have lots of friends who are either expecting or just had a baby! I love the opportunity this has given me to flex my creativity muscles in a way that I haven't been doing for a while.

Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing any of my creations. They are all handmade in a smoke and pet free home. Pre-washed in infant safe detergent and ready for use.

A plain-panel cover will be $20 and an embellished one (similar to what's pictured above) will be $25. If you'd like a Reminder Pin to help you remember which side to start nursing from they are $5 when purchased separately, or $3 with a cover. Those will either be a rolled rosette out of a contrasting material, fashion button or a flower (your choice). The hooded towels will be $15 and I can make it in any color you'd like. (With or without the inside handles.) The pacifier clips are $5 a piece or $8 for a set of 2.

If you have a request for a color, let me know!

(Check here if you're more of a do-it-yourself kind of gal for the general instructions on the hooded towel, here for the pacifier clip project and here for the nursing covers.  I will be selling nursing cover kits in your choice of fabric for $15, binky clips for $2.50 and hooded towels for $13.)
