Gifts from the Garden

It's that time of year again...

...when spring presents us with a multitude of textures, tastes and scents that grow right in our gardens.

More Sewing

The sewing bug has still got a hold of me. I had a chance to snoop through Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing For Baby book again, and whipped up her pattern for a change pad for baby. Pretty simple, and gratifying to complete something i know will be used so much.

Normally I'm not such an earth tone kinda person but something about the earthy colors felt right this time around. I like the two tone back/front combination. There is a layer of batting between the layers for added comfort.

And then a simple ribbon with velcro to close the whole thing up in a jiffy.

As an added bonus--i found a bib i started making from this same book about a year ago for someone else...spruced it up with a felt star, and voila! I'm sure i'll be making more of these as time goes by.
