Boogers on the Wall

I’m not a very good seamstress. Half the time when I sew I have to have a un-picker, scissors and band-aids close by.

But I did it. I sewed a few really easy things for our new baby. They were so easy I thought I’d share. (Granted I was able to find step-by-step tutorials on Pinterest which probably saved my projects from turning into giant balls of string.)

There are still a few things I want to make if I still have time and energy but here’s a few things I’ve done so far.

I got a package of striped onesies and decided to doll this grey one up. Then I made a felt flower for this headband to go with.

Here’s a link to a tutorial for the felt flower:

I got this really cute polka-dot fabric from my husband’s grandma who passed away in June. I decided to make a skirt out of it.

Then I got a striped onesie and added a polka-dot flower to doll it up. I also made a matching headband. 

Here are two links that I used to put together the skirt:

Here is a link to how to sew the flower I added to the onesie:

I found a tutorial for a great baby bassinet sheet. It’s a pocket sheet not an elastic one.

It was so easy I decided to sew four.

Here’s a link to the tutorial:

Here’s a look at the diaper changing cover that I made. I’m not going to lie, this was the hardest thing for me to sew. I also made a teal colored one but I am not going to post a picture of that one. It looks pretty scary.

Here’s the tutorial I tried to follow:

Here is the set of burp rags I have made. I didn’t really follow a tutorial, but here’s a link to where you can easily find out how to make some:

Finally, here are a few things I have crocheted. Some barefoot sandals, baby leggings and mittens. Who knows if they will actually fit and for how long, but they sure look cute.

Thank heavens for easy-to-follow Internet instructions otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make anything. Here’s to making many more happy sew-easy projects.
