I know there are other crafters around here - what have you made lately??? I'm getting ready to sew Valentine's shirts for both of us, but I made a wool diaper cover for @allison last night. It was so easy.. and it is sooo soft.
-
I made a crib skirt when I was snowed in this weekend
Excuse the currently unpainted (and repository of random stuff while we get the nursery ready) changing table…
-
My mom and I have recently done drapes for my living room windows. They're nothing fancy, just linen and black out liner, but man, it was a labor of love!
-
I did a curtain for the closet in kidlet's room, and now I'm doing a few pillows for her reading corner.
-
@looch: did you find the drapes challenging? I'm really considering making some drapes for LO and our bedroom. I can't stand how expensive basic blackout curtains are in the store.
-
@MamaG: yes, we did, largely because we're not really expert sewers and we were working with fabric that I had previously cut, so it wasn't all even. We had to basically take down a curtain panel from my mom's house to inspect how it was put together, lol.
I got the blackout liner from fabric.com, it was about $70 for 9 yards. Another option could be to add the black out liner to existing panels.
-
@MamaG: I just hung blackout liner behind curtains on clips. You can't really see it unless you're looking, and then I can reuse it if I want to change curtains!
@Mae: very elegant! I love the striped wall, too, it looks so professional
-
@looch: That's not the answer I wanted.
I've looked at fabric.com and if I can settle on a fabric, I think I'm going to give it a try. I'm not an expert seamstress either. But I found a tutorial that made it seem easy. I'll regret those words, I'm sure.
-
@MamaG: you know how it goes, it's all fun and games until you have to rip out your work!
-
@Mae: your crib skirt turned out great!
I am currently finishing up my scrapbook! I'm putting in my baby showers and nursery pages, then I get to start a new scrapbook when LO gets here.
-
@MamaG: don't forget ebates if you order from fabric.com! Oops realized my diaper pic didn't load.
-
I've been working on this:
It's a beadwork pouch for Ellie.@scg00387: That's fantastic! I'm very impressed.
@Mae: I really like that skirt. The fabric is lovely and you made such nice pleats. -
We brewed our own cider this year (from apples from our trees) and I decorated the bottles to give to our friends as gifts.
-
You guys are so talented! I made a mini diaper cake for my SIL but it's not the same skill level
@Mrs. Twine: cute! Does she like Finding Nemo or is that just a regular clown fish?
-
Wow, I'm so jealous of all you ladies that can sew. I really wish I could make my own curtains and pillows!
I recently made a bunch of party decor, including a cake.
-
@beaker: Just a regular clown fish. She asked for one ??? out of nowhere. But then I had to try to make a pattern and it was hard. Really hard. I'm in the home stretch finally-- embarassed to admit I've been working on it for years. Like, several. But it sat in a cupboard for a really long time.
-
@Mrs. Twine: HOLY INCREDIBLE!!!!! Wow that looks so cool!
I've been making cloth wipes (200), bibdanas (100) and burp cloths (72), looking to make some nursing pads this week.
-
This wasn't very recent but I am still pretty proud of it. We always get compliments on it and it was soooooo easy.
I *made* this Ikea DIY hack (not the pic but looks the same)
-
DH and I built this tv stand a couple weeks ago. We're going to make a coffee table next.
-
Wow there are some seriously crafty ladies here!
-
@Leialou: wow, where did you get the plans? Or did you design it yourself? It is gorgeous!
I took a scarf from my own personal stash, sewed the ends together to make an infinity scarf for LO. Not exactly complex but we use it every day and also avoided buying a scarf!
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: it's Ana White plans. We'd like to design our own eventually, but it was our first build so we wanted directions. My DH has big plans to build a crib one day.
-
@scg00387: I'm working on a quilt that would make real quilters weep and rend their garments, lol! (aka I've totally given up on matching any seams/corners. Like, spectacularly given up.)
-
I'm in the process of making 1st birthday stats boards for my nephews. (This isn't finished yet, but I've got it mostly laid out.)
-
I'm currently working on this quilt (amongst like 4 others):
front/edge/back -
@Espion: those are the best kind. I made one for my daughter while I was pregnant out of leftover bunting from our wedding. I made it up as I went, and had no idea what I was doing, but it so special to me now!
-
I made this skirt! Now can it please be spring so Ic an wear it?
-
Just finished this blanket for baby!
-
@Silva: Exactly! I figure this is going to be the blanket E will drag around. I have a vision!
@jhd: Gorgeous!
-
@Espion: thanks!
-
I love everyone's projects! I usually make an outfit a week or something every few days but here are my recent favorites.
-
@Reese: Love the table. So shabby chic!
@Mae: So pretty!
@jhd: Love the fabric! Great job! -
I made my nieces these dolls for Christmas!
-
@Mrs. Pen: Super cute!
-
@CraftyMom13: thanks! Love those outfits!!
@Mrs. Pen: those are too cute!
-
@rawrasaur: I love the colors!
-
Knitted a scarf and hat for myself and am working on another set because I had extra yarn and don't really like the first pattern after finishing them. Getting ready to start knitting Christmas stockings for my whole family.
-
@Leialou: WOW!!!! I Love this entertainment center, you two have some serious talent!
-
@avivoca: Love this too, did you use a pattern?
-
@Reese: I LOVE it! DH wants to make our coffee table. I'll have to show this to him!
