yesterday, we were finally able to go and get the rest of the fabric for the nursery. i'm glad that we weren't able to get it until now, because they had some new fabrics out that were really great! so, we picked out some new things and came home ready to start sewing. under my mom's suggestion, i bought a pattern a few weeks back and have been trying to study it...but unfortunately i have no idea how to even start reading one and it's much more difficult that i thoguht it would be. so, i just looked at the pattern for a bit yesterday, then ventured off on my own-envisioning exactly what i wanted to do. a lot of times that produces a not quite perfect result, but i'm quite delighted with what i've done so far. project #1: a bumper for the bassinet-don't want noah bumping his little head! and a blanket/quilt for the bassinet. here are a few pictures of the fabric (sorry the lighting is so terrible!):
and then here is a picture of what i've done so far with the bumper...obviously still a work in progress:
even though it will take time to get everything done, i'm super excited about the process. i love love love making things, and this is especially fun! i'm stoked about having a sewing machine at my disposal again (sadly, both my mom and i had lost the power cords to our sewing machines, so we've had nothing to use for quite a while. thankfully, she sent me out last weekend to buy a new sewing machine!). well, i'm off to work now!! :)
