Sometimes I Surprise Myself

Do you remember when I made this?



I seriously just love this fabric! After making the car seat cover I had just a little bit of it left over and I knew right away what I wanted to do with it.

So I have been waiting for a time when I would actually have time to make an extra special something with it.

Oh! I'm so excited that I finally got this done!

Anyways, I went searching through Sadie's dresses to find a diaper cover to use as a pattern and I discovered this,



An extra diaper cover! Thank you Carters for at one time making what was probably a super cute dress that I lost but due to fate saved the bottom, for this exact project! :)

(Can you tell I'm tired? Most of the day was spent taking care of a sick dog and a needy baby. And it's 10:33pm. And I'm old.)

Anyways, cool, now I wouldn't need to make a cover which would save me a ton of time.

This is how it turned out! I love it!



The little bow was perfect for the skirt! I saved it from an old dress of Novalee's. I would love to claim fate had a hand in this too but I fear I'm just turning into a sewing hoarder. :)

Is it super horrible that I woke Sadie up tonight, just to have her try it on? I did. I feel a little guilty about that.

But I was too excited to wait! :)

She's a good baby. Always very patient with her mommy and is even super happy woken up. :)



The backside



The upside of having Mommy wake you up is that you get to be up when Daddy comes home. :) (Isn't he so handsome? I just love him.) :)



Can I just say I love the skirt one more time?

I love it!

  1. cute idea, how crafty. I am trying to get anytime to sew, Norah doesn't nap much now and won't let me. I like that quilt pattern though, tempted to try it. Thanks
