Projects

Ok, all of you who hate "picture perfect life" blogs, here's my sub-par blog. I CAN'T sew! Yup, pulling a piece of fabric through a sewing machine is too hard for me. Well, actually I just haven't had much experience; I have sewn two things in my life and both of those with help. I decided that one check on my "become a Molly Mormon" list should be SEWING, so last year for Christmas I asked for a sewing machine and Justin got me one that was simple enough I could use. So, I asked my Mom to teach me to sew on burp clothes. Here's my theory on those: If I screw it up, it's gonna get puked on anyway, so what better item to practice on!!?? So, my Mom has been gracious enough to work with me on it. I can do the basics, I think; I still goof up; I have a hard time going at an even pace, and when I had to re-thread the bobbin on my own, I did it manually, cuz I wasn't quite sure of the right direction to run it to do with the machine, BUT I made a bunch of burp clothes with my Mom's help and even a couple BY MYSELF!! (However, if you saw a close up of them, you would tell me not to try to sew again. :) I don't think I will ever sew clothing, but I can do simple stuff probably, so it kind of counts right?!
Anyway, here's what I made for my baby girl to puke on......

And then, my friend Emily taught me how to make BOWS!!! YAY, BOWS for my baby girl's head!! I'm super excited! I ended up buying all that is required to make bows (not that much) and have made a few on my own. (Again, I'm pretty slow, but hey, I can do it!)

So far, these are for our little one's hair.......
