baby gifts

So this a jumper that I bought at the thrift store, it just wouldn't button over my tatas. lol. But I loved that it was a polka doted corduroy so I decided to make it into a skirt. I love it but I still haven't worn it yet.



I made the beanies for the lady that owns the shop next to the shop that I work at. She has 5 month old boy and girl twins and I thought the argyle would be perfect for them. They were really simple. I used a pattern from burdastyle.com and then cut them from an old sweater of mine and a sweater that I dug out of a dumpster (don't worry I washed it first).


This is a baby blanket that I made for my boss's new baby boy. It was a quilted comforter from the 70s. I simply cut it down, quilted some more, and then added the edging.



P.S. That's not my sewing machine. It's the machine that I use at work and I love how it looks, but I hate how it sews. :)
