baby crib etc...

back in october i got all adventurous and decided to sew a bunch of stuff for our little guy.  i found some really cute fabric online that was for a boy and not too baby-ish... but fun. so i sewed a crib skirt, fitted sheet, and bumper.  we didn't have a crib until recently (i found it practically new at the thrift store and spent $38 bucks.. score!) so i didn't have any way to take pictures till now.  i really love the animal print and think it is so sweet!

i also sewed a little quilt with some fabrics that also went with the collection.  i really like the camouflage.. nothing more boy than camo!  the back is white minky dot and the whole blanket it light weight and super soft. 

my sister saved a bunch of stuff from her baby and so she gave me her boppy pillow and i decided to make a new cover for it with the left over material from the bedding.  i just used the original cover as a pattern and cut out the pieces and sewed it together using velcro instead of a zipper like they had.  but i think it turned out way cute!

i also had the idea to make a cuddle buddy blanket with a few taggies on it.  my mom found this unbelievably soft puppy in her collection of animal toys and gave it to me... i cut out 2 small pieces of brown minky dot that were left over from something else and slit a hole in one side... slipped the dog through and sewed the hole shut... and then cut off the rest of the dog (poor guy).  then i cut little pieces of ribbon to go in each corner and sewed the 2 pieces together.... thus creating my cuddle buddy with tags.

i really love sewing and am sure i will have many more projects in the future!
