More Hiders

I've been busy sewing lately. I made this hooter hider for my friend Leah that just had a baby a week ago. I LOVE the fabric. There is a cute fabric shop in Midway called Seasons of Home that has the best selection. I've made 2 more in the past couple days, but until they are gifted I won't show them. I'm thinking that it would be fun to get a booth for Swiss Christmas (kind of like Swiss Days except on a smaller scale) and attempting to sell some of my sewing crafts. I'm thinking of selling the hooter hiders (although I'll have to just call them nursing covers or come up with my own name) and maybe table runners. Anyone got any other ideas? or want to try this out with me?

Cole's Crib

Welcome to Cole's crib. It's taken me a long time to finally finish his bedding. I sewed his blanket back before he was born (he's 5 months now) and just finished everything else over the weekend. I got super lucky and found his exact animal print fabric at Walmart of all places. I bought his original fabric in flannel at a specialty shop in Colorado and couldn't believe it when I found it at the Park City Walmart. It's not flannel, but works and matches perfectly. I made the crib sheet, crib skirt and bumpers. One of the only things I would do differently if I were to do it over again would be to make the crib skirt gathered. It's a bit too straight looking for me, but oh well. My next project for his room is to buy COLE letters and modpodge or paint them.
