Apron

One of my dearest friends asked if I could make her and her mom aprons that are not too cute to use. They are reversible. And, of course, I wanted to personalize :)

Personanlized Baby Bibs

After making the last bib, I thought it would be fun to make some personalized bibs. One is for my nephew who is just a couple days old, one is for my nephew due in a couple months, and one is for a friend's baby.

Another Naproll, Another Breastfeeding Cover

Third and final naproll in this order:

The photographer who took our family pictures happens to be pregnant and wanted one of these nursing covers. She deducted the cost of this from the price of some pictures we ordered. Also, she picked out the fabric so I didn't have to worry about finding the right fabric (which can often be the trickiest part of a job). A win-win for everybody!

Bib

My cousin couldn't find a bib that she had in mind for a gift so she asked if I could make it. It was fun!

Another Naproll

This one had to be able to roll up a little small due to a smaller cubby at daycare. I also quilted this one by hand tying it. It turned out really cute.

Naproll

I have a friend who always thinks of me when she wants something that she thinks I might be able to do. I love it, because I end up figuring out how to make things I would of never thought of.

I made this naproll for her son, who spends a few hours in daycare during the week. The "cushion" is quilted cotton, with a fleece blanket and pillow attached. I used circles to quilt it (thanks to my embroidery machine). It folds up, and the handles snap together.

I have a couple more to make for her.

Dress

This is one of the dresses I made with the money her grandpa sent for making her a dress. I used the same pattern as the dress he thought was so cute. I actually made this a few months ago, but never posted it. You know I'm having a hard time keeping up my blogging when I forgot to post stuff on this blog. I love to post on this blog. I have the second all cut out, it just needs to be sewn together.

The red apron has tiny white polka dots that don't show up very well in the picture. I forgot to straighten it before the picture, the hem isn't really crooked like that.
