Another Fleece Jacket

I love how easy fleece is to sew up. Although I wish the pockets were perfect, they are not, the thing about sewing, at least for me, nothing turns out perfect.

Also Payton has lost his two bottom teeth. He is so excited about it. 

Tis the season... For fleece

I love sewing with fleece, it's easy!

Hate to admit this but in all the time I've sewed this is my first time doing pockets. I don't know what I was so afraid of. 😅

Boy's Bedding

2 Years later and finally finished.

My mom bought me this fabric for my boys bedroom 2 years ago for Christmas. I've finally got around to getting it done. Might I say I wish I had gotten them done sooner. They turned out really cute. My boy even like them. I have matching curtains but I've opted to not put them up because we are moving.

Home sewn Boxer Briefs

I did not expect underwear to be so easy to sew, yes it has little fabric involved but it looked daunting. It's really easy to sew, and it turned out so cute even for boys. Yes that is pink fabric you see below but hey for a boy who is going to be potty training in them I didn't think it was a big deal. I especially love the fact that because the unders are made from my old "T's" and I already had the elastic they only cost was the pattern. I think it was ($12) Totally worth it, it's a great pattern, and has tons of sizes.

little boy pj pants

I made these pajama bottoms from McCall's Pattern M6224 (size 2) I bought a men's XL button up top and used that for the fabric. I think it was 3 dollars, husband didn't have one he would let go of. I love how they turned out!

Kid's Hooded Bath robe

This is my darling little boy modeling his new bathrobe that his mommy (me) made. He loves it. I got the idea for this from here http://www.dana-made-it.com/2011/06/beach-robe-pattern-is-here.html . Her's are super super cute. She has the pattern for sale for $8.

I'm too cheap for that.

I made my own pattern. Maybe I'll post how did that later on if anyone is interested. I won't make a pattern to download though, you can spend the $money$ over at MADE if you would like a pattern.

This bathrobe that I made is out of two towels. I couldn't get one to go far enough so luckily I had another one the same color. They were towels I didn't like anymore. I was just testing to see how it turned out. I love it, they are super easy to make, the binding on the edges is what takes the longest. I used my serger for everything else. I LOVE my serger! I ran out of the yellow binding so I had to use black for the tie. Bummer.

I plan to make a couple more, but out of nicer towels next time :)

Cost to make = "0" dollars

Old towels, binding left over from other projects. Doesn't get any better than that.

Dana over at Made suggest it be a robe for the beach, but we don't live anywhere near the beach, so swimming could work, but we use his for bath time.

Homemade Booster Seat

I made this booster seat for my little boy, it's got three phone books wrapped in duct tape, then I sewed a cover out of PUL (the stuff they make all in one cloth diapers out of),that way it would be water proof and wipe up easily. Works pretty good, and didn't cost a dime to make. I had everything on hand. Wahoo!
