So, I recently (finally) got myself a sewing machine! So, in order to get better use to my new toy, I hunted through the depths of Pinterest to find some crafts that I could easily make.
I stumbled upon this tutorial on a site called Crazy Little Projects. It seemed pretty doable, and didn't require a lot of supplies, so I hit up the JO-ANN Fabrics, got some fabrics with fun pattern options, and figured I'd give it a go!
Her blog has a pattern, but I didn't actually use her printable pattern, as I didn't have a printer. But I made my own based on hers, and it seemed to work just fine! I also based mine off of the wipes holder that I already have, plus the space that 2-3 diapers take up. Not too shabby for a first time and being out of practice AND using an unfamiliar machine!
The idea for this project actually came to me a while back, when I wanted to take some diapers and wipes with us, but didn't want to take the whole diaper bag to a wedding. When we went, I used a large purse as a combo purse/diaper bag, but I had diapers floating around with all my other things...it would have been awesome to have this handy instead!
I will say that I could tell I need some more practice...I accidentally messed up but sewing the top together inside out. And I also didn't do a very good job on the velcro on mine. But, it was fun to be able to try something new and begin working with my new sewing machine!
I also made 3 scarves at this point. All infinity scarves. One for my sister, one for my mom, and one that I'm selling online for just $15 because I had so much extra fabric left over.
Since getting my sewing machine, I also found an AWESOME FREE PRINTABLE pattern for Bandana Bibs for babies and toddlers by a blog called Apple Green Cottage! I totally printed it at work...lol. So worth it! These bibs are so awesome for my son because he is always drooling from his little teeth that are coming in (he has 4 teeth now!) and they give him something besides his shirts to chew on. And his shirts were getting pretty gross.
I've made several bibs at this point...here's a pretty nerdy one I made for my son with Adventure Time fabric that is super soft! I found it at JoAnn's and I have so much left over, I plan on making a blanket for him as well!
I'm looking forward to some more crafts in the future. Do you have any recommendations for craft ideas you'd like to share! I'm always looking (mostly on pinterest) for new stuff I'd like to try to make sometime!
