I was able to wrap up & add 3 new pairs of booties to my Etsy shop, and press/cut my fabric for the Old Red Barn Co. Quilt Along! YAY!! I'm determined to catch up this week... we'll see how that goes. This weekend I'm planning on starting a project for my mom too. She bought a really cool double-lounge chair (Like this, but without the arms) and wants cushions made for it. She bought the foam, and some really cool red & white outdoor fabric. I have made pillows before, but never with outdoor material, and never on this large of a scale! I'm going to be making some piping to go around the edges in hopes of concealing any uneven seams. I did order a piping foot, so hopefully that will make the piping process easier! Now I just have to figure out how to join two pieces of foam together for the larger bottom piece... I'm hoping that maybe some spray adhesive along with a layer of muslin will help keep the pieces together and disguise the joint. I'll try to take pictures and post updates as I go along.
I'm a 20-something working mother of a 10 yr old step-son, 5 year old & 4 month old daughters, and a surrogate mother to twins born in Feb. 2009. I love sewing gifts and clothing in my free time, and especially love sewing baby items. I am clumsy to a fault, a little too sarcastic at times, I put my all into everything I do 110% of the time... which isn't always the best thing! I try to be the best wife, mother, friend, sister, & daughter I can be on a daily basis.
