Apron

Triangle Apron

I made this cute apron for my sister-in-law for her bridal shower back in the summer.  I used an apron that someone gave me for my bridal shower back when I got married as my pattern.  My sister-in-law's apron turned out really cute, and probably one of the better sewing projects I have ever made.


Changing Table Cover

Changing Table Cover

Changing table covers are expensive in the store.  I know material can be expensive, too, but when you get it for $2.50 a yard, you just saved yourself about $12 dollars- or more!  Plus, you get to pick exactly what material you want, instead of being restricted to the covers already made and in stores.

I actually did not buy the material I used for my changing table cover for the purpose of making it into a cover.  Instead I bought it for a recieving blanket, but changed my mind when I didn't get a cover for my baby shower.  It turned out cute, and it was so easy to make.

The only thing I did different was a few sewing tricks, like sew the sides on, and then sew the edges together, instead of pin them all at once. Also,  I don't really like feeding my elastic through, so I sew around it- making sure there is plenty of elastic at both ends.  Then when I get close to the end, I tie it together, and sew the final stiches around the elastic.

Here is my final project!
