I Made It Myself!

Well, I am probably nesting, but my sewing machine and I have been pretty busy for the past week or so. I made these bibs (almost done- just awaiting my new snap putter-inner thingy from The Snap Source) for Dangerfeet (new baby's current nickname):

I am not sure if this one is my favorite:

or if I like this one better:

This one is the leftover material from the sling I made for Peanut once I figured out how much I hate strollers:

This is the camera case I made for our new Canon that I LOVE:

It's lined with adorable Amy Butler dots and closes with Velcro:

Also, my sister in law is expecting, so in honor of her new addition, I made some cool-kid bibs (it's too early to know boy or girl yet):

The backs of those ones are little skulls:

All the bibs are based on "Bend the Rules Sewing" by Amy Karol of the super Angry Chicken blog, which I have really already enjoyed playing with (even though all I have made is a pile of bibs and the "No-Cash Wallet" which I did a bad job at. I know there are a lot of bib patterns out there, but this was really easy for me and has helped me get a little better at sewing curves (which is not my strong point). I got the book on Friday last week and have made 10 bibs in my spare time. Fun!

Finally, I also made two skirts for Peanut, which are basically the same, only different material:

The other one is red with white polka dots. It's pretty cute, too. Both of those were based on Amy Karol's five minute skirt that I blogged about before. She has really caused me to fall in love with that fold over elastic from Sewzanne's Fabrics. So fun and easy! It makes me feel like I sew better than I thought I did.

In any case, this post will probably take a very long time to load, thanks to all the pics. 20 weeks pregnant and counting. I'll probably have made a crib set next week. Oh, nesting pregnant self, you are a fickle one. C'est la vie.

You're sew creative. *giggle* I'm so punny. Love, love, love the bibs. Bibs are things I like to buy, but not use, apparently. Kristi Jo had her baby this week! A little boy, emergency C. Now I guess it's Rachel's turn.

Oh punny you are so funny, honey. Sigh. All the babies are coming! I can't believe your baby cousin had a baby. Ack.
