I look forward to this Jama! I hope to get my ol' sewing machine out again soon!
ReplyDeleteooh looking forward to February! I'm going to make all of our nursery bedding but don't know where to start.
ReplyDeleteBring on the draperies!! I need them oh so badly in my house! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI am a beginner and this list sounds perfect! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!!! Can you hear me cheering? :) I'm most excited about curtains (Roman shade, perhaps?) and a ruffle. Since I'm always sewing for the boys, I have yet to attempt to make anything for friends' baby girls . . . but now, I'll have no excuse!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about doing a post on keeping your child's wardrobe simple. I tend to get carried away each season and end up with things they rarely wear or that don't match very many things. I'd love to get your input on what you've found to be Little Boy Essentials for Spring and Summer wardrobes. Maybe I could be a guest blogger--or you could guest blog on mine? :)
Jill! I would love for you to be a guest blogger on that!!!! I definitely try to do the same because the more stream lined the better!
ReplyDeleteI do not iron :) So my clothes are pulled out of the dryer, folded and then put into the drawers. This means that I have to be limited, because of space! I began to fold the matching shirts with the shorts last summer for Buddy and the system worked great... until now he is too big for matchy matchy :) sad... anyways... Elastic shorts are a MUST for little boys potty training and you can't beat a cute appliqued shirt to go with it! I also love a Jon Jon but realize that it takes time to iron! So i guess we really live in "spruced up" t-shirts and cute print cotton shorts, with a jon jon here or there. What do you guys wear mostly???
Yes!! I just declared the other day that our living room needs new drapes. REALLY looking forward to that tutorial! I wonder if drapes are similar to making your own shower curtain??
ReplyDeletesimilar, but with a lining!
