Sewing Projects

I can finally post a couple of my other sewing projects (that were gifts) on here now that I have given them to the recipient!  I have a friend who is also having a baby girl at the end of May so I made her a onesie dress and a quilt.  I think her quilt turned out better than the one I made for Mattie!  I'll definitely have to make more of this pattern and style.

First, here are the onesie dresses I made.  I gave my friend the black/grey/pink polka dotted one and I kept the purple multicolored polka dot for Mattie.  For both of them I made matching hair bows out of the remaining fabric.  And of course I found the inspiration from Pinterest but I changed it up slightly.  The original dress pattern had a ruffle at the bottom but I decided to just keep it longer and just add rick rack for detail.

The fabric has a bit of sparkle in it!

 

 

Sparkle and rick rack!

 

 I bought the fabric to make one more but I'm going to make it in a bigger size.  These 2 were both 3 month onesies.

Next up, is the quilt I made my friend.  She is doing a "chocolate, pink, and cream" theme for her little girl so I bought whatever flannels I could find in those colors to make her a rag quilt.  This too came from Pinterest but I had to google how to bind a quilt and then used a different stitch than the original so that it was more hidden.  Also, my measurements are slightly smaller because my fabric cuts weren't generous enough.  If anybody has any questions on how I did something, feel free to ask! It turned out AWESOME!

I'm so proud of my binding! You can't tell which side was machine sewn and which side I hand sewed.

The "rag" side.

The "smooth" side.
