sewing

i haven't had a whole bunch of energy to work on many projects during this pregnancy, but i think i got a second wind over the last week or so.  i am the type of person who thrives on having projects - it's what pulls me out of a funk, for sure.  here are a few things i have finished:

 

a carseat cover for baby b (yeah, the flowers are upside down - it seems like i always mess up details like that... oh well)

 

i thought ahead on this one and made it unisex so if we ever get a boy, i can use the brown-polka-dot side (notice the perfect match to the carseat itself - i was pretty excited to find this material)

then i made a new baby sling.  kate wasn't much for her sling, so we'll see if this baby is any different - but a new cute one helps me!  i know it looks like this is inside out, but i made it that way on purpose (so yes, it is the wrong side of the flower fabric... i just thought it looked better muted versus super bright - plus i love the heathering effect)

  

then, to go with the new sling, i finally made a nursing cover.  with kate, i always just used a receiving blanket but found i rarely remembered to bring one with me (since her carseat has an attached fleece blanket).  i think it turned out really cute - it's crazy to think we'll have this new baby in less than 3 weeks!     

 

lastly, i made kate a new pair of pajamas.  she needs a couple more pair, so maybe i can get working on that before baby b makes her appearance.  what do you think of my amateur applique???  i think i need to try it a few more times...

i have high hopes to knock out the halloween costumes for these girls in that time, too.  i know, i know - it's only mid-august.  but i'm not so sure i'll be in any kind of mood or have any kind of energy to sew halloween costumes 6 weeks after bringing a new baby home.  we'll see - it may happen on october 30th :)
