The first thing I made was a set of dishtowel bibs, using a tutorial by my friend Sarah found here. Here's Sam modeling a bib I'm going to send to my niece. (Both of his were dirty.) I love these bibs because they're nice and big, absorbent, and you can just toss them in the washer.
I've made a few pillows for our couches using remmants from Joann's (so they were a lot cheaper than usual). I don't normally arrange them this way, I was just trying to fit them all in one picture.
I think it would be fun to make burp cloths cuter, so I want to sew flannel in the middle of plain ones, but when I went to buy some at Walmart, they didn't have the right kind. So I practiced on an old one of ours using a scrap of just plain cotton. I'm glad I practiced because I'm not really good yet!
Last, thanks to Amanda for showing me a tutorial on making carseat covers. First I made one for our baby girl. (I simplified the tutorial a little bit.)
And I just finished one for our nephew who's set to make his arrival in a few months.

oh please make one for me! (one of any or all of these things...but I mostly need the car seat cover for ne winters!) so cute! good job!
Rock on Kristen! I'm wondering how you simplified the car seat canopy tutorial... they both turned out great! I'm selfish and just made the one for me. I also just went ahead and made a bunch of burp cloths for baby number 2. I used this tutorial: http://sewshesews.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/burp-cloth-tutorial/
I had a hard time finding the right cloth diapers and ended up getting 12 jumbo 3-ply, pre-folded diapers from Walmart online and didn't have to pay the shipping.
Hey hey queen of the Singer. (That is a type of sewing machine although your voice is nice to.) That's a snazzy bib Z will be thrilled.
Those are all so incredible! You are definitely not a beginning sewer any more!! Very impressive. Love the fabric on your pillow!
Way to go Kristen! Those are awesome!!
Great projects! You did a really good job. I wouldn't know you were a beginner. I've been wanting to make those bibs and I like the car seat cover, too. Thanks for putting up the links!
Wow! I am seriously impressed. Even though you say those are simple, it still takes skill. I couldn't do them probably. Just today I called and begged my mom to sew a button back on shorts for me. Yes, a button.
I am impressed!
I just found your blog and now I can stalk your blog too! Love the projects that you just finished! For being a beginner, they all look great!
Kristen, I am so impressed! I've toyed with the bib idea (my sister made one for me and I love it), and while I'm still intimidated, this is warming me up to it more. Great work! (It looks like your trip was fun too!)
um, I don;t think you are a "beginner" sewer anymore! Those projects are all so cute!
You are so crafty! I love the pillows- the fabric is great. You inspire me. Maybe someday I'll sew again...
KRISTEN! All your projects turned out beautifully!! I love them. I love those burp cloths with the strip of fabric! So cute!
