Some people clean to get ready....

....apparently I sew. I've been making baby clothes for the last 2 weeks non-stop. Its becoming a rather expensive past time too. I think at this point I really need the nesting bug to kick in because my house is being neglected in favor of the sewing machine.

I put some pictures of the clothes I've been making on Flickr if you want to see.

    I don't sell anything at this point. I've thinking of starting something small, but I need to get faster to make it worth my time.

  • Your stuff looks amazing! I LOVE those kimono pjs so much! I wish my sewing skills were closer to yours :)

    I want one, too!  You have some amazing talent.

  • Whoa, I'm really impressed.  I've made baby clothes and I love to sew, but I wouldn't bother attempting the detail on those sleeves!  Nice work!  And the ruffled jumper are adorable!

  • AH!!!!! Everything you made is so gorgeous!!!! My favorite is the little ruffled shorts! Seriously. So. Cute. 

    My nesting takes on the exact same form. My house is a disaster---but I have sewed myself in circles!

    What do you think about Little Stitches for Little Ones? I've been sewing from Handmade Beginnings by Anna Maria Horner, but I've made everything in there (some things multiple times) and am thinking about getting Amy Butler's book. Any thoughts? I'm having a boy...harder to find good patterns!

  • OMG, so cute! I want to sew, but I'm not very good with clothing/patterns. I may just have to stick to quilting. Ironically, I have way too much cleaning to get done before I'm allowed to sew, anyhow, lol.

     I think its pretty good as far as ideas and has some really cute stuff. But, the directions truly suck on some of it. The red and blue dress that I made came from there and it was the most confusing thing I have ever done. I think I ripped out more stitches than I kept. The kimono pjs on the other hand was pretty easy and straight forward.

  • Those are so cute! I've been sewing instead of cleaning for my nesting as well. The odd thing is I never wanted/liked to sew before I was pregnant so I've just been doing a lot of reversible burp cloths/blankets and things like that. I've also been bit by the pillow case bug so now all of our pillows have brand new fabric on them.
