Crafts and such

 Last summer I bought my first, very own sewing machine - and boy, was I ever excited! I discovered the world of Fabricland and have spent many hours since then roaming and dreaming about the countless things I could create. Bliss! My first project was a baby change table pad cover. A friend of mine gave me her daughter's old change table, but seeing that it didn't fit in with my nursery decor I thought, "Hey! Let's be crafty!" So, with Jason's help, we decided that we would spray paint it brown to match the crib and dresser, replace the makeshift pull-out drawer with pretty baskets, and I would sew something to hide the existing change pad, complete with clown characters and uncomfortable plastic. Here is the "before" picture (minus the pad and drawer, which made it much, much worse) and the beautiful "after" photo!

Then, after thinking looooong and hard about what I wanted to make next, I decided on a nursing cover. Here is the result:

I lined it with flannel because the outer fabric was a bit too stiff. 

Although I'm not the only mom I know that has sold nursing covers, I thought I would give it a shot. I'm asking $18, which is a great price compared to what you would pay in the store (anywhere from $30-$45 it seems) So let me know if you'd like one or know anyone who does! What am I up to next? A pretty fabric clutch from Simply Totes. Wish me luck!
