Child's Messenger Bag


Again, another creation from my One Yard Wonders book.  I love that book!  My girls just started preschool a couple of weeks ago and I made them these darling little messenger bags.  I had to reduce the strap size by several inches but it turned out so cute and they love them!  I let them pick out the fabric and I added little button embellishments on the flap.  

Nursing Cover

One of my friends, who recently had a baby, asked me to make her a nursing cover.  They are surprisingly easy and take little time to make.  I add a little terry cloth in the corners (cut a washcloth in half).  It's great for wiping the baby's mouth when they are nursing. I only took this picture for some reason so this is the only shot I have of it!

"Upcycled" Magazine Rack

When my Grandmother passed away a year ago, I asked if I could have this magazine rack.  Although, when I got it, it was dark brown.  I had great plans for it! I just sanded it a little and painted it lavender (my girls picked it out). I made a little fabric sling for the inside and ta-da! It now holds some of the books in their room.  I absolutely love the way it turned out!
