You know what that means, right? Halloween is coming up! It's time to start doing some Halloween crafts. Or maybe you're ahead of the game and you started back in September. Either way I'll be posting several Halloween/Fall crafts this month.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This craft idea can be made and put on display all season long. They're so cute! ...And very easy to make! Use a scented candle like pumpkin spice to make these even better. If you want them to have more of a "Halloween" look you can always add some spider or pumpkin charms to the vases. You can probably find all of the supplies at a local Michaels Arts and Crafts store. :)</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The diaper/wipes case is big enough to fit a travel size wipes case along with 2-3 diapers. These come in handy when you use more than one diaper bag... Just pull this out of one bag and put it in the other! The closure on this is a magnetic snap, but velcro would work just as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With the burpies I couldn't decide on what I wanted to make them out of. I wanted something absorbent... and I know that flannel will probably have the spit up roll right off. (<i>Although I have <b>tons</b> of baby print flannel that I need to use up!</i>) So I bought some terry cloth fabric... washed it and sewed one. I didn't really like the texture of it. A bit rough for newborn skin. So the next one I made with some white minky. Perfect. I'm not sure how absorbent minky is, but it's super soft!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've decided I'm giving her both of them... I figure the one with the terry cloth would be good for some of the bigger messes as the baby gets older.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm definitely going to be making lots more of these in the next month or so. I need a diaper/wipes case to match <a href="http://prettylittlecrafts.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-new-diaper-bag.html">my new diaper bag</a>! I also need a bunch of new burp cloths for Baby Josiah coming next January. Not to mention for my sister and her new baby coming in February! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have LOTS of sewing to get done in 4 months.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I knew I wanted to make something for myself out of it... I decided on a new diaper bag. I've been dreaming of sewing myself a bag for about 5 years now. (Crazy, right?) So I finally took the plunge yesterday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it turned out really cute!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This bag measures about 18.5" wide by 12" tall. Magnetic snap closure on the top. 3 pockets on the outside front, one large pocket in the back and a large zippered pocket on the inside. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHS1nSZqfeUZnwCE0CdOhWjpZgEExhjn07ynxvvzI3WFEALSBQqRgkKjUco_EyP1IRboVXVpL6kmDZh4NEZg4tzCNaPm1AVyWP8-7su6Rn8S5eQhw7W35cdPscnBpIdjWb1DmUdkaIaw/s1600/IMG_0814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOHS1nSZqfeUZnwCE0CdOhWjpZgEExhjn07ynxvvzI3WFEALSBQqRgkKjUco_EyP1IRboVXVpL6kmDZh4NEZg4tzCNaPm1AVyWP8-7su6Rn8S5eQhw7W35cdPscnBpIdjWb1DmUdkaIaw/s640/IMG_0814.JPG" width="476" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead of just putting interfacing in the pockets, bottom and straps I would also add it to the main body of the bag. Not sure why I didn't... I guess I figured having the pockets lined would be good enough. It works ok without the extra interfacing, but I think I like the feel of a more sturdy bag. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would also add a Velcro or button closure to the large back pocket... or even splitting up the back pocket to 2 smaller pockets. As it is right now it kind of falls open when the inside of the bag is full.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Another thing I would add is 2 pockets on the inside. One to fit my cell phone and one to fit my camera. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Other than those small improvements I really love this bag and I'm happy I decided to make it. I'll probably make one for my sister as a Christmas present with the improvements and see how I like it. Once I get things right I might even decide to start selling these! We'll see...</div>Taylor Stoddardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02236093483266637261noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072512248951179401.post-77807302658631724892010-09-28T07:26:00.000-07:002010-09-28T07:26:00.630-07:00A Great Way To Save Their Art Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Right now my sons mostly just scribble. </div><div style="text-align: center;">They'll tell me it's a rabbit or an airplane... but it still looks like a bunch of scribbles to me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Something that I actually made? AND I'm posting about how I did it!?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weird.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been meaning to make a slip cover for this pillow form since I was pregnant with Brady... He's now 20 months old. It was originally meant to be made into a Disney Princess pillow for my niece. (<i>I can't find the fabric any more. Opps.</i>) So for now it has a Chargers slip cover in honor of my football team!</div><div style="text-align: center;">(<b>Go Bolts!</b>)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here's how I did it:</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. I started with a pillow form that I bought from Walmart long, LONG ago. It measures 13" x 13". (Seems like a weird size to me, but that's what it is...)</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. Cut one big square measuring 14" x 14". (Added 1/2" all around for the seams.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Cut 2 small rectangles measuring 9.5" x 14". (These pieces are the same length as the square piece on the long edge. The short edge is the length (14") divided in half and add 2.5" ) Make sense?</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. I used a drinking glass to help me round the edges for a neater look. Rounded all 4 corners of the square piece and the top 2 and bottom 2 of my rectangle pieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxcgxu_KYV8RKtfBYW-4ynXhyL17JMgd9w9iTzzNjdVdR287Ag8EX5vHG7hW2arahVCOInm0GB5-qv4heMOpPNBxQDz0WbOkCtf3t8ZA6Js8wk6H9tQTzR2GXt4NgA_1nBt5gVZdkUGY/s1600/IMG_0790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilxcgxu_KYV8RKtfBYW-4ynXhyL17JMgd9w9iTzzNjdVdR287Ag8EX5vHG7hW2arahVCOInm0GB5-qv4heMOpPNBxQDz0WbOkCtf3t8ZA6Js8wk6H9tQTzR2GXt4NgA_1nBt5gVZdkUGY/s400/IMG_0790.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5. Next I did a straight stitch across the edges of the straight sides of the rectangle pieces. Folding the fabric over twice to hide the raw edges.</div><div style="text-align: center;">6. Once I finished sewing, it was time to pin everything in place. Right sides together I pinned the top rectangle piece to the square. Then I pinned the bottom rectangle to the square.. overlapping the top rectangle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">7. When every thing was pinned in place I sewed around the entire square. Starting and stopping in the same place. </div><div style="text-align: center;">8. Turn the slip cover right side out and stuff your pillow!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">All finished and sitting nicely on my rocking chair. </div><div style="text-align: center;">When football season is over I'll probably make a new slip cover to match our living room a little bit better. :)<br />

I see more slip covers in my future now that I've realized how easy the are to make without using a zipper. Zippers are something I haven't mastered yet.

It was pretty easy to do... Just measured the length, width and height of the machine, cut out a huge rectangle, a piece for the back and some pieces for the front ties and sewed them all together. I used the table cloth I mentioned in yesterdays post.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it turned out pretty well. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
