Gettin' My Sew On

Happy Friday friends!

We are leaving for the beach tomorrow, so I'll be taking off from the blog world to enjoy some sand between my toes.  Ahhh....I can hear the waves now!

I have shared with you before that I am learning to sew, but I haven't shared with you some of my easy projects I have completed for my friends that have recently had babies.

I have sewn quite of few of these contoured burp cloths from this tutorial.  It is super easy, and even a beginner like me can do these.

Have you seen my Gettin' My Sew On Pinterest board?  It's pinned with mostly easy projects that even a novice such as myself can do.

Here's another one of my favorites to do:



And here's a few I'd like to try:



I also have made a swaddle from a pattern I received at Christmas.

Do you sew or do you want to learn?

Operation Re-Cover Pillows

Some of you that follow me on Instagram may have already seen what I have been up in my new I'm-learning-to-sew-total-newbie adventure.  For Christmas, I asked for an aqua blue chevron print to re-cover my pillows that came with my couch and big chair.  I never liked the stock pillows, but I did like the size and the fact that the back of them matched the couch.  So I received the fabric from my mother-in-law, and I finally happy to say that I have completed one pillow...just three more to go!

Here's the result next to the old pillow (you might have noticed it in the background of Conley's photos):

The fabric is 100% cotton, so I'm in the market for some time of stain resistant spray.  Anyone have any kid-friendly suggestions?  Happy Tuesday!
