Sunday evenings are so relaxing, especially when the Seahawks have won the football game. Usually it is the time I want to sew up some things for gifts for friends. Last night I pulled out all of the makings for burp cloths, receiving blankets and so on... I decided to start with making my cousin Beth a blanket, since her baby girl is due tomorrow. I took ideas from the blankets that my friend Marilyn had made. Instead of just using a solid piece of flannel on one side, you take a strip a minky and put it at the top of the fannel, along with some cute trim to add a nice touch. It turned out so cute!
Next, I also decided to try and make a baby jumper like one I had seen in the store a few days ago. Of course the piece of clothing I used to size up my first attempt would be one of Eloise's jumpers. If it turned out, I would give it to her as a gift. She is such great practice for trial projects. I got to work and found the closest pattern I could to the jumper I had seen. I changed a few things on the pattern, found some cute buttons and trim to add some detail, and wallah! We had a baby jumper, and it turned out great! This is definitely something I will add to our shops inventory. Also I will make a cream onesie to layer underneath.
So there you have it, our Sunday evenings are quite fun and experimental!

When I see all the amazing things you sew, crochet, and create, I'm amazed. It looks like alot of fun. For a moment I'm tempted to learn myself....who knows, maybe some day.
The "fruit of your hands" is blessing many.
