Squishy ABCs.

I’m putting these on my to do list!

Jessica's rag quilt letters.

Found at Happy Together,  we have a store bought set but I’d really like to make my own. I’ve been keeping some special clothes I remember Wesley wearing, that Nate has now worn, perhaps that would be a good use for them. I was going to quilt them, but it might work for both projects!

I really like that I can use up scraps of material to make them, and that they are soft. After falling while putting Wesley to bed in September, landing on a wooden toy, splitting my knee open and getting 7 stitches I’m in the market for soft toys!!

5 things I learned while sewing juice pouches last night.

sew juicy

1. No matter how clean you think the juice pouches are, there’s still juice in them.
2. Those things are darn slippery! Even just sewing a straight line. Backstitching is even trickier.
3. The air will be filled with the yummy aroma of juice while you stitch.
4. No matter how well you think you dried the pouches they will still be wet inside.
5. Removing stitches from juice pouches leaves little holes :/
