Projects!

Here are some things I have been working on, in between caring for a sick baby and worrying about my mom.  Lots of birthdays and baby showers coming up!

Thrifted prefolds into girly burp cloths. I dyed these with Dylon (months ago!) and then attached the flannel with a zigzag stitch. They can still be used as a diaper, and a changing pad as well.  Also stands in as a really absorbant rag when your three-year-old leaves her oj too close to the edge of the table and your hygiene-conscious toddler decides oj is perfect for showering.

  

Paratrooper softies from Chez Beeper pattern.  Very cute, and used reclaimed fabrics, but they will need some tinkering to make them float!

Notebooks covered with tea towels.  I ended up using a different ribbon for this one, and found a fabulous button to match!

How to I "finish" the edges of a ribbon.  Hehe, no honey, nothing's burning!
