They got a little wonkier after I washed them but still look good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470972 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 13:02:54 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 470972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm digging the booties! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470961 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:51:03 +0000 mrskc 470961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: those onesies are adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470958 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:49:00 +0000 Bao 470958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I love the onesies!

Here's some pictures</p> <p>Rag quilt<br /> Applique onesies<br /> Booties<br /> Advent wreath<br /> Christmas ornaments (the paper modge podge, the white stamped ones, and the cloth bird one)</p> <p>I also sewed a bunch of burp cloths and bibs and little hats and a few sleepers and other things here and there. That's just what I happened to have pictures of! Mostly Pinterest inspired ideas. </p> [attach=2423/12/mfuqfw.600x448.image.jpg] [attach=2423/12/mfuqfy.600x448.image.jpg] [attach=2423/12/mfuqg0.448x600.image.jpg] [attach=2423/12/mfuqg1.600x600.image.jpg] [attach=2423/12/mfuqg3.600x448.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470464 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:20:18 +0000 SweetMamaM 470464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a productive use of downtime - what would you have done otherwise? Beats just sitting on your butt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470455 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:16:43 +0000 Bao 470455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Share some of the stuff you made! If you can....I'm looking into starting to make some baby things when my grandma gives me her sewing machine this spring. I'd like to make baby blankets, burp rags, some clothes etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470447 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:15:17 +0000 Reese 470447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good stuff! pics? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/money-saved-from-diy#post-470414 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:06:12 +0000 jedeve 470414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I started sewing a lot when I was unemployed this summer and doing other crafts too. Today I added up everything I've made and what it would have cost to buy from etsy instead. Grand total? I spent $225 at Joann Fabrics and would have spent almost $800 at Etsy. </p> <p>It's mainly baby clothes and supplies, and also some christmas decorations. I can't decide if this is good or bad though! It's a significant chunk of change, but doesn't exactly make up for the time I wasn't working either! </p>
