Well, I've been trying to squeeze in some sewing time here and there. The little one seems to finally be able to entertain herself while I cut and measure and sew. (I won't mention that by "entertaining" I mean "pulling fabric off the shelves, dumping jars of buttons on the floor, and emptying the suitcase full of trim"...but it's so worth the mess to have a bit of creating time!)
The first thing on my list was new pillow covers for the couch. The other ones I had made were 2 years old and I desperately needed a change. In the dead of winter I found myself drawn to very spring-like fabrics, so when I saw that floral print at my favorite little fabric store, I knew it was coming home with me. It reminds me of a vintage sheet and it's so soft. So the couch has had a makeover and I'm quite thrilled to have accomplished something crafty finally!
Next it was a curtain for the bathroom. We have very, very large windows in this house and I felt that full-length curtains would just be too much. So I settled on a cafe-style curtain with a Heather Ross print.
And next on the list is a pair of corduroy pants for the little one inspired by this book, which is on her top 5 book list right now. She will be so thrilled to have a pair of pants "just like Emily" and maybe she'll even get a balloon too...!
