I'm so proud of myself!

After browsing Etsy, I was feeling inspired and was going to attempt to make my own burp cloths, washcloths, hooded towels, stuff like that. I figured even if they weren't the greatest, they'd be used to wipe butts and clean up baby barf. Who would really notice if they weren't absolutely PERFECT?!? I was borrowing my Mom's sewing machine but after making mannnnny trips over to her house and never really accomplishing much. I decided to invest in my own! So I started off working burp cloths.

They are all different widths and lengths, since I kinda "taught" myself while making them. I think they turned out pretty cute though. Ryan was amazed! He was so proud of me telling me what a good job I was doing. I have such a supportive husband lol

I have a ton more than this.. I just took one of each fabric pattern. I've been having so much fun making them, that I asked my bff Jenny if she wanted any. That way.. yanno, I could make some more! and pick out even more cute fabric. Of course she said YES!!! she'd take some off my hands, but what she really needed is Bibs. Baby Casen is teething like crazy :( and starting solids. This seemed a little over my head.. I mean, I had mastered the square and rectangle but could I really figure out how to use a pattern?? So I searched high and low (and even GOOGLE!) for a sewing pattern that I liked.. everything was either too big.. too small.. or had a tie closure. Feeling crafty, I decided to make my own pattern. After all my hard work this is my bib "stash" so far. They are all a different sewing pattern and fabric.. I'm still working out the kinks but I am really proud of myself. I made something, that I can actually use!
