OK you should ask me. One of Mikes best friends is going to have a baby soon, and I thought it might be fun to try and make something for her. I usually try to make something for new babies. Anyway I decided to make a nursing bib i.e. "Hooter Hider". So I went on the internet to find a pattern and lo and behold an exact pattern. It was on someone's blog that lives up in Seattle. Love Love Loved her blog. I'll write about that at a later date. So this was the easiest pattern. I went to Pipers Quilting and found the most darling material. I fell in love with some many of the fabrics that I decided I would make a bib or a burpie or something or other and this is what I came up with. 1 nursing bib, 1 blanket, 4 bibs, 2 burpies, & 3 wash cloths. OK so I got a bit carried away. I was totally in the zone. Come look at my house and you will see total neglect. Its like I was reading Breaking Dawn again. I must say though all of it turned out pretty darn cute. And if any of you would like me to make you a nursing bib I will. Bring me the fabric and $15 for labor and it is yours. I really had fun doing it all, guess it shows that I do have other interest other than just being a mom. But I wouldn't go as far as calling myself crafty! That word just scares me. So here are the end products. I felt I should take some proof, I mean pictures to remind me that I do like to sew. Oh ya and here is a cutie of Elliot. He was a huge help by vacuuming up all of the scrapes of fabric and putting them in his mouth. Yumm!

Alta I TOTALLY want one! I'll go find some cute material!
Nice work. I am glad I am not the only one who has gone cook cook crazy and tried sewing. I am just glad that it really isn't as hard as it looks! Nice work. Expect a check and some fabric in the mail soon!
Are you kidding me? You've been holding out on me! I had no idea you could sew like that did I?! If I could have another bambino...I would be ordering all kinds of stuff!
I'm thinking of a "me" get away (means I'm coming alone Yeah!) up to Salt Lake and Ogden in Sept. Let's get together! I miss you!
Forgot to say...I love this picture of Elliot! For a second I thought it was Charlie!! He's changing!! and looking so much older!!
How is Elliot that big?! Very very cute things sis.
Super cute! Don't you love finally getting in the zone on something...and I understand about where the house goes when you do! Ha ha. Wonderful items, I wonder if it's the same pattern I used for my nursing coverup!
