Polka Dot Romper

This polka dot romper is the cutest thing! The pattern is Kwik Sew 3776. Since baby is not born yet, I have no idea if the size is on point (I made the XS size), we'll just have to wait and see.

This is actually my first project that I managed to make using a store-bought pattern. I could never follow those darn pattern packages, until now.. maybe it's because the Kwik Sew instructions are more user friendly?

Oh--and I have not actually made a button hole on my sewing machine and didn't feel like learning how at the time, so I used my handy-dandy snap plier and added snaps to the back closure instead-- and saved me the headache!

 

Sewing Project #1 - Nursing Cover

With the upcoming addiotion to our family, I'm inspired to sew all those cutesy baby stuff. Beginning with my first nursing cover.

I'm planning to make two of these for myself, one for everyday, and another more for public use.

I found a tutorial online on BlissTree and successfully followed it. I think the hardest part was sewing the boning piece in, but I managed, albeit slightly crooked lines--but hey, for a first project, it's not too bad!

(And yup, that's a self-made crocheted boobie beanie on the printer)

I used a single sheet of snuggle flannel purchased from Jo-Ann's.
