I Can Sew!

A few months ago a lady in my ward asked me if I liked to sew. I said sure but I don't really know how,  just a few basics. The next week there was a sewing machine sitting in the foyer for me to take home from church. :)  I feel bad but I took it home and it went in the closet for a few months. I wanted to make something eventually, I just didn't have the time and I wasn't looking forward to figuring out how to use it. Keep in mind the last time I sewed anything was 7th grade sewing class. That machine was intimidating! 

I see all these adorable things on Pinterest and decided I was going to try making something for my nephew due to arrive in July!  Thanks to my mom, google, and online tutorials I was able to figure it out. It took me much longer than it should have and I unpicked and ruined a few onesies but I ended up with a few good ones!  I know they are just going to be spit up on, but I had fun making them!


Not going to lie, I felt so accomplished, they sat on my couch just like this for 2 days as I admired them. 
 There are a million tutorials on how to make baby tie onesies. I combined a few of them and came up with my own version of burp cloths with matching tie onesies. 
 I gave them to Janelle when we went to DC in May! Im super excited to see her baby boy and I cant wait for him to spit up on my gift (because that means they are getting good use :)
