Since we have found out the sex of the baby. I have had the HUGE urge try my hand at making CUTE baby items. I find myself reacquainted with my sewing machine, which is good. Here are the two items that just popped up in the last week.
I started with these Yo-Yo hair ties. (My first one so I defiantly have room for improvement) Still, I thought it was cute enough to try new ideas and perfect my skills.
Then today I got this itch to make booties. Here again is my FIRST attempt. I think they turned out darling, especially for my first batch. I have had this brown material for YEARS I just knew it would come in handy at some point.
I love the little booties, I can't wait to experiment some more. All I can attribute this new found love for sewing, is NESTING. We are moving in Oct. So I can't really get a nursery ready for the baby, so instead I'm focusing on making items for the baby. Which isn't a bad thing. It is good to develop skills, and be creative right!
Who knows what piece of "straw" I'll sew up next. :)

those shoes are way cute jolene! makes me want to try making them, but I don't think I should even attempt it! :)
Do you try them on Aaki? to see if they fit?
Wow, I am really impressed by the booties. Did you use a pattern, or just make it up?
Laura- I say at least try but they were so small it was hard to sew at times.
Naco- NO! These aren't for the Chihuahua that thinks its a child. Its for my actually HUMAN child.
Elesa- I wish I was awesome enough to just think up the design. I bought the pattern off of Etsy.com.
way, way cute! I tell you this is going to be one lucky baby!
those shoes are way cute! maybe once you get really good on the sewing machine you will just be whipping up so much stuff without any patterns at all! Happy Sewing.....
LOVE the cute little shoes! I've been dying to try to make these too!!!
BTW, I know your child's going to be blessed with TONS of hair; if you ever want instructions on how to make hairbows (both on headbands & clips), let me know. I've got TONS of instructions & websites I can forward to you...
Those booties are adorable.
Jo, I'm super super impressed!
