Made by Mommy

So...pre-Charlie, I would spend my day writing songs and playing my guitar.  

Now, I have found a new hobby.  I have discovered I LOVE to sew.  My sweet Grandma loaned me her sewing machine and I've been having lots of fun!  

The baby boots were my first project.  I loved the fur lining...
I made them a little too big, so they had trouble staying on her feet until the past month.  :)
I used a pattern from Ithinksew.com



My second project was this criss-cross dress from Heidi and Finn.
Love it!







I made these toddler sized aprons for Charlie and her cousin, Presley!
(pattern--my own)




The next two were Christmas gifts for cousin Presley
(pattern--Heidi and Finn)

J.Crew inspired dress and Ruffled Scarves (pink and ivory)
(pattern--my own)




On a side note...I made some fun frames for family and friends for Christmas out of cabinet doors.




Anyway...that's what I've been up to!  Well...besides being a MOMMY!  :)
