Baby Wash Cloths

6 months later than I wanted to have them, but I just found the fabric in the storage unit tonight.

Snuggle flannel bought from Joann Fabric store some Black Friday many moons ago.  I cut it into some decent looking squarish/rectangular shapes.  I didn't bother to measure them.

Delsin got out of bed while I was putting a zig zag stitch around the edges.  So did Lenore.  He asked if he could do the rest of them.  He wanted to be a part of making something for her.  He's so sweet. 

Easy Bath Apron Tutorial

I just got done converting all of our hooded baby towels into bath aprons.

I saw bath aprons on Pinterest in recent years.  I pinned one that was made from a regular bath towel, but we already have several hooded baby towels.  I knew I would be using those.  

It was really simple actually.  Using scraps of ribbon stuffed into my ribbon basket I just took ones that were about a foot in length and sewed one on each side of each hood.

You just tie the ribbons around your neck, then you already have a towel in place when it's time to get your baby out of the bath.  No reaching/dropping/sweating bullets while keeping hold of the baby and grabbing a towel at the same time. 

Thanks for checking it out.  What did you work on this weekend?

The First Outfit for Lenore

We have decided on a name for our newest baby girl.

Lenore is her first name. 

We are still praying about it though, and about her middle name.

These things are very serious, ya know?

Last night I finally got her first outfit made.

 I've been wanting to make her an outfit like this one I found on Pinterest.

 

But I didn't have enough fabric to make a gown, so instead decided to make a skirt and applique a little circle on the onesie with her initial on it. 

This was my first time to use my new embroidery machine 

a Singer XL1000.  I bought it from one of my sisters in recent weeks.

Last night, or early this morning rather, I discovered it's missing the embroidery foot.

But I was able to carefully embroider without any foot at all. 

Only problem was it was not in the center.

Sure I tried testing it a zillion times before embroidering on the actual onesie, but that didn't stop it from being cattywampus on me.

So I took an hour or more to rip that one out and put another one right smack on top of it cattywampus and all too!  

'Cause that's how I roll at 4 AM.

And that's how it's gonna stay.  Oh well!

I made it to bed at 5 AM and made it to my 8 AM Dr. appointment.

'Cause I'm a little bit crazy like that.

But it's been a good day, and I just might make a hair bow if I can get this load of laundry hung up before tomorrow morning.

(Big grin)

I've got a little strip of fabric that's just begging to be rolled into a rose and glued to some 1/4 inch elastic.
