For expectant mothers, my Mother's of Young Children bible study normally throws a diaper shower. We had one of these said showers today. I ordered diapers off Amazon last week, thinking they would have plenty of time to get here before the shower. I happened to take a look yesterday, the day before the shower, on when they were supposed to arrive. I had thought they would come before then, so I was getting nervous. Thank goodness I checked. The diapers are supposed to arrive today. At 5:00 pm. Well after the shower.
What's a girl to do? I certainly don't want to go out and buy a package of diapers for an enormous amount of money when I spent $30 on a gigantic box that's coming today. So, I decided to whip up some kind of girly sewing project. I just so happen to be pattern testing for my friend, Rae, so I had a super cute pattern to try out.
Isn't it sweet? its a bubble romper. Love, love, love it! It was my first time shirring (the gathered elastic at the top) and it went surprisingly well.
I had some scraps leftover, so I decided to make a flower headband to go with it. I think that is my favorite part. Is that lame?
Oh, and I threw this dress I made in for good measure. I actually was planning on giving her this with the diapers.

Those are both great, and I love the headband too. It really gives that adorable romper an extra ooomph!
And this is why sewing will always be a useful skill. I am doing slipcovers for the cushions on my sofa and making new valances for the kitchen, and I feel so proud of myself for MAKING what I wanted instead of buying it.
Eh, I should add in the interest of accuracy that my mom is supervising these projects. She has always sewn prolifically but I never really took to it until a few years ago. I still can't do much beyond a straight seam.
Very nice save. I looove the outfits and especially the hair bow...not lame at all!
Great job!
