Crafty Wafty

For Valentine's/ Birthday, my very wonderful and thoughtful husband got me a sewing machine! A beautiful, easy to use sewing machine! To say I am excited would be a drastic understatement. I have new projects flooding my mind every day. Here are a few that I have managed to get done. (I'm not an expert sewer by any means, so don't judge too harshly :)
New hairclips for Addi. I had a friend (thanks Emily) show me how to make these cute little things (she made the pink one). Eventually I'll get more colors. They are easy and cute. Here is the link to the pattern.
This is my new table runner

My cousin made her daughter some repurposed sweater dresses, and they were adorable, so I tried it out too. Thanks Kathryn! It still needs a bit of tweaking in some places, but here it is for now.

I didn't sew these, but they were another one of my projects. These were 1950's Betsy Ross paper dolls that I printed off and cut out, then i put velcro on them so it would be easier for Addi's tiny little fingers to switch out the dresses.

I'll keep you posted on further projects :)

Have a happy day!
