Sewing For Me - Shawl Wrap Cardigan

I had perfect time with my family this holiday (Purim). Tomorrow we are all getting back to our routine life. Yes, I am happy about it (I might get some time for myself, or even will able to snick bit of sewing here and there) But, I somehow feel sad it was over so soon.  I was able (somehow, with my sister's help) to get some photos of my latest fav sewing project =).

This cardi is soooooooo cool! I am wearing it all the time (Ha! =D). It is comfy and so versatile, you can wear it in SO MANY WAYS and this is what I love the most about it. (I did not get pics of all the wearable option due to lack of time =().

Pattern is from DMK-Women <3.

fabric is cozy blended stretch wool.

Much Love

Another pair =)

I am so happy to say, that I AM actually following my new year's resolutions (as in crafting =)), weight watch, and such are still heavy on the list ...) But, as for my Fabric growing collection, I have decided to USE all of my fabrics and not to get cheap on them =D. I can always buy more if I'll run out of it =). So, this fabric is mixed wool with tiny glitters, I love it, and kept saving it for the right time. After my little asked me to make her "lots and lots of pants" as her Jeggins, I have decided that this fabric is perfect for that.

She says it is super comfy and did not want to take them off at night =D.

And guess what, I still got plenty of this fabric left (yay!)

Pattern is from DMK.

Happy with her Jeggins =D

<3

Cute pair isn't it? She loves it, and now she keeps on asking for many in different colors =D. This pattern is great, I tell you, you can't go wrong with it.

I used thick 15% stretched jeans fabric for it, because it is wintry around. I highly recommend this one, I did cut few more different fabrics for this one, it will look cute with knit or wool as well =).

Today finally my husband is coming back home! After two weeks of being a single mama I can tell ya' I am waiting for some ME time =))!!!

I was not really able to get done with some of my projects done, but here, and there I got some bits and bits of sewing time.

So I have decided to give a try, and "fix" some of my tops that are stained with baby food =P.

This is my first try out - and I like it (for the 5 minutes it took me I can't complain =)).

( sorry for pic quality, iphone is to blame, ha!)

Much love,

Portable Crib Bumper and Giveaway winner

Sewing life with a Serger are so much fun =). Here is a newbie for baby Alona Nursery. This bumper is matching her changing mat that I have made earlier this week. Now I feel much better about her staying the night in her own little bed =).

While I was making it, I did cut by accident the same piece twice, and noticed it only after I sewed it together. Luck enough, while I folded it over, I saw it was the same size as her little pillow, and one more stitch line, and it was pillow cover to match the becoming set. Ha! =)

And.........as RANDOM.ORG said :

Giveaway winner is The lovely:*Tea

Thank you all for joining it, hope to see you again at the next one soon!

New Puffy Changing Mat

I planned on making this one while I was still pregnant, and somehow I always pushed it aside and made other stuff for baby Alona Nursery. Well, Now after she moved to her own room I feel like I must keep up with all my plans. Luckily my sister in law surprised me this weekend and bought me my very first Serger (Yay!!!!) so things are going by so much faster (wooohooo) =)

I made this super puffy , and a bit longer so it will protects baby's head (oh boy, she moves so much I had to make it hehe).

Now I am working on her bed head protector =).
