My first craft project was decor for the nursery. I decided to make these little "frames" that went with the theme and were something different. It was also a very easy project, all I did was get some fabric and wood framed canvas. I simply then stapled the fabric to the canvas and "wah-lah!" there you have it. I also thought by stapling the fabric I can reuse them later when the theme changes :)\
Next project, the first on my sewing machine was pillows and pillow cases to put on my glider as extra decorations and also to use the extra fabric I had from the frames. All I did was make small pillows and with the extra fabric I made pillow cases. I made them as pillow cases so I can wash them without a problem and always have clean pillows :)
My favorite projects by far have been the cooking aprons I made for my husband and I. I tend to be messy and clumsy so an apron would be wise on my behalf to wear in the kitchen. As far as my husband, he loves to grill and help me in the kitchen so I figured an apron would be good to keep him clean :). I made mine reversible, mean while I made his one sided with some sewed on patches and wording. They were not too difficult for me to make of which I was very glad, they were a bit time consuming but time is something I have plenty of right now so it worked out perfectly!
One side
The other side :)
And the hubby's :D
And my latest project :). Burp Cloths!! I came up with these after the burp cloths I recieved from our gift registry, they are double layered with an extra strip down the middle. I loved them because they seem fairly absorbant, so hopefully they'll keep us cleaner a little bit longer. I made 6 burp cloths :), they are two sided with different patterns and ofcourse with the strip down the middle :)
and more projects to come! :D
