sewing again..

I'm really not trying to show off or anything like that.  I just am in shock when things come out looking good.  Trust me there are many projects in between those ties and bow ties and these I'm sharing that have gone horribly horribly wrong.  {Funny how I say many projects when its only been since Friday when I made those.}

So here we go.

 I saw this shirt at the DI a long time ago and got it because 1. it was only 3 bucks and 2. I thought it would make REALLY cute ties and bowties. Well it sat around on my bedroom floor for at least 4-5 months. Then I finally decided to do something with it, especially after making the other tie and bowtie.

Then I decided to make a diaper pouch for my purse. I usually just take that with us on errands and such. But all the patterns I found were for the hard white case but I shop at Costco and get their wipes. So I needed a bigger one. I found two different patterns/directions but I couldn't make out what they meant.  Their directions were majorly confusing. So I kinda winged it. I think it looks good.

Then with our trip coming in FIVE DAYS!!!!!! I decided we needed a book holding thingy. So scoured the internet and pinterest. Couldn't find one I liked. So I winged it again.

It is super long.  I am just hoping it'll fit in the back sit in between the boys. Might even put toys in some of them. Especially for Cayden. I'm excited to see how well it does with my crazy boys.

Adam just got home and told me I need to put my sewing machine away.... haha!! I've gone a little crazy.

I did this for Creighton... and he hates it.  I thought I did all the squares the same sizes.. Apparently not.

there are somethings I should just stick to... ties, bowties and diaper pouches.
