Car Seat Cover

A friend of mine is having a girl after two boys. She was planning on just using the car seat cover with fire trucks on it that she already had, so I thought I'd make her something a little more girly.

Learning Words

My 5 year old has enjoyed learning to sound out words with these.

Spring Table Runner

I paper pieced the flowers (patterns found here) and free-motion quilted it on my sewing machine. It was a lot of fun and I love how it turned out.

Baby Cape

I had a baby in April, hence the long hiatus. For Halloween we went as a family of super heroes, so naturally little sister needed a cape.

Super Hero Capes

My boys are really into super heroes, so I made them individualized capes to add to their Easter baskets. I started with the younger one's this time, since my second attempt at things always turns out better and my oldest is much more into the whole cape thing. I was right to do so, since I wasn't especially pleased with how the first one turned out. I used a tight zig-zag stitch to assemble the decals and it puckered a lot. The second time around I straight stitched it first, then did the zig-zag and it went much better. I also gave the second one the ability to be lengthened in case it turns out to be something he loves for a long time.
