First project....

My babysitter is pregnant.... Do I need more excuses to make baby stuff??



Here's what I'm working on:



It's a baby pajama for the little girl to be... I will make a bottom, some slippers (already done!) a bib and a stuff ball.
The flowery fabric started its life as a maternity top and the brown fabric came from 2 woman t-shirts. I'm glad with the kimono top ( here's the link if you want to make one: http://habitual.wordpress.com/kimono/) but it was hard to sew the bias binding at the shoulders seam.


And here's the baby slippers:

I don't like the inside finish and the seam around is bulky...

Lil' intro!

Hi every one!!

Just a little intro to start a new life/blog on the internet...

My name is Josée and I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids (which you shall meet soon), wife to one and keen crafter of many kind.
So I decided, inspired by my close friend and loved neighbor Gen, to start a blog on my tries to do something useful and hopefully beautiful with previously loved items.
I sware to post pics of my ungoing/finished objects disregarding how they look so you will all see the mistakes and funny things... (maybe that could help to pass some wisdom to someone else! lol).
You will surely see, on this blog, some sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidering, and painting... and definitively lots of struggles!
Let the fun begins... And GET CREATIVE!

Just one last thing: my mother tongue is french so bear with me! ;)
