I have so many friends having babies or just having had a
baby and I am WAY behind on my gifts.
Today I finally got motivated to do some baby crafting for two babies (a
boy and a girl). I always see appliquéd
onesies and think, “That is so easy- I can totally make that in 5 minutes!” and
when I finally get around to giving it a try, it takes me 5 hours. I don’t know if I’m just really bad at appliquéing
or if it’s something that will come with time. I did learn a few tips today. One is to put my machine on fast. When I do it slowly, the onesie gets
all bunched up and makes a mess. The
second tip I learned was that I need to just focus on keeping the edge of the
fabric between my walking foot and stop worrying about what the thread is
doing. I still haven’t figured out
an easy way to peel the backing off the Pellon Wonder Web paper. Anyone have any tips for this?
I also made a bow-hanging thing (not sure what to call it),
which was super easy. I made one
for Emery and it’s great for keeping your bows in one place so I decided to
make it for a friend of mine who is having a girl next month. All I did for this was take ribbon and
fold it on top of each other, sew it down the sides and then sew a loop for it
to hang on a hook or a doorknob.
Easy peasy! Thank goodness
one thing took me only about five minutes.
