And we're back!

I kinda forgot this thing existed.  But I signed myself up for another sewing class (actually 2) so here we are.  I have actually gotten a few things done this past year.

I love making towels for new babies.  These were for an old friend from high school who had twins last summer.
Used the hooded baby towel and washcloth tutorial at The Purl Bee
Dress pattern from Made
Elastic thread is really cool stuff!
I love this hat from Oliver + S; I'm going to have to make her another one this summer
I added snaps to the strap so she couldn't pull it off and an extra inch to the brim


high chair cover made with PUL
Finally made cushions for the rocking chair in the babies room!  (We've been sitting on very flat pillows)
I used this tutorial 
to figure out how to do "gussets."


I'm going to try to keep up with this a bit better, and do a better job documenting projects.  I really struggle to remember to take pictures of the process, but the end result is better than nothing!  The classes I'm taking are Curves over at Stitched in Color and Sewing with Knits with Whipstitch (I took Essential Sewing through Whipstitch last year).  Obviously I'm feeling a bit ambitious; we'll just have to see how it goes!
