* Craft Check In *

Good Tuesday Morning, Ladies!

Let's see this weeks crafty PIP's!

I made myself a new nursing cover this week:

I bought this chair for the baby's room, and covered an IKEA cushion in fabric that matches his room. Its more decorative than comfortable, its certainly not a chair for nursing, but it looked cool and I liked it.

I also made quite a few sheets and changing pad covers, but they look like blobs of fabric when they aren't on the crib.

This week I am attempting a Boppy cover. I hate sewing zippers, so we'll see how that goes

I should make a nursing cover, hadn't thought of that. Do you have a pattern, Lisa?

I made these over the weekend, I posted it on the FB group but wanted to share here too.

Those little boots are SO CUTE!!

I have no PIP, but I bought the fabric yesterday to make one of those shopping bag holder things for bibs.

Oh! And it's not my craft, but I have another progress picture on the changing table/desk that our friend built for us! It's done! This picture is with it unpainted, but DH went over there last night to paint it, and our buddy is going to drop it off this Friday or Saturday. Yay!

Yay for your friend for finally starting the changing table! It looks good so far.

Ok, so that worked out faster (and easier) than I had hoped. I want to fix the zipper ends, but for the most part, its done and functional. I flippin' hate sewing zippers.

Tonya, here's the link for the nursing cover:

I didn't use D-rings, I used an overall hook and button, so I modified the strap instructions, but the end result is the same.

Thanks Lisa!

Here's what I started on last Saturday and finished this Saturday.

I posted the wreath mobile on Facebook too. Banner and birds will go on the wall behind her crib. The mobile has an owl, squirrel, hedgehog and bird with leaves and acorns that were sewn and painted the details.

And the easiest of all the projects - taking a lamp shade my husband hated in our living room (because he felt it let too much light through) and just added clouds to the top to make it look like rain falling.

I ADORE these!!!!

I had posted last week about working on the hat (that I accidentally felted and then had to start over). I literally finished it an hour before we ended up going to the hospital! Gabe wore it home:

I also converted an express cami to a nursing cami. I used small coat hooks. It worked fine (I actually wore it home) but isn't that much easier than just wearing a regular cami.

Stuffed elephant! Not my neatest work, but it'll do.

I finished my alphabet banner last night! I bought the cards from Etsy and then sewed the flags and attached them all to a ribbon using colored mini clothes pins.
