Just some very versatile multipurpose tote bags for Retro Femme tonight at 10pm EST! NO pattern.. cotton webbing handles, pleats at top. 16×18x2 Sling or shoulder style.

And some yoga pants I bought and embellished with velvet iron ons. and a t-shirt. These are all 6-12 month size and in my Etsy shop

I know pretty boring stuff… but that was all I got accomplished in my “extra” time after sewing more wholesale diapers hehe

So I have had this fabric forever and decided it was time to either use it or pass it on to someone that would. I decided it would make great gauchos to lounge in or use as a swimsuit cover or something. Material is a poly/rayon blend is very drapey and silky to the touch.

Well I cut it until there was not enough left to do much with… although I might be able to get a pair of shorts out of it for Tara for a swimsuit cover.

These are being sold Friday night at a congo I belong to called Retro Femme.

First a pair of gaucho style pants with a cotton/lycra stretchy waistband. You can fold the waistband down or leave up whichever you prefer.

Then this simple straight knee length pencil skirt. Has comfy cotton/lycra waistband as well but just shorter. Double Layered so no slip is needed.

Thanks for looking

Finally able to do a little sewing these days.  Mostly diapers for a wholesale order but I wanted to do these for my Mom for Mothers Day. I made my Mom some Fleece pants last year for winter time, she asked me to make her some Flannel PJ pants for her b-day in February so I did that… and now I made her some for summer.
I drafted these myself. They are made from Joel Dewberry’s Green Sparrows and trimmed at the bottom with the Pink Sunburst. Cropped, drawstring AND elastic

Dont mind my shirt.. it is laying funny, lol.

So things have finally “normalized” around here somewhat.  After almost 2 weeks of Breastfeeding woes having to pump and supplement, etc…  we are now breastfeeding exclusively for 1.5 weeks now!! YAY!!   Baby girl had a rough latching learning curve but we made it through.  

So we are sleeping about 2-3 hour stretches about 3 a night then I get another hour or so before I get up to shower before my husband leaves for work.   I am slightly tired, lol.   And not sewing too much, especially at night since I used to stay up until midnight to sew and am now going to be between 9 and 10:30 to get some extra sleep.

Finally got some new pictures loaded.  These are from the last weeK!    She has changed/grown so much already!

Love this one, hehe

In a gown/hat I made
 

Enjoy the pictures and hopefully I will be posting SEWING again soon!! :D  Right now I am working on diaper wholesale orders, so nothing fun to show, lol.

Here are a few more pictures from our last week..  in order of oldest to the newest picture just taken an hour ago

In her mama made “Little Princess” NB Bottombumpers AIO

Playing Peekaboo, lol  Look how small she is compared to my hand

Baby girl made her appearance into our world Wednesday, April 2nd!  She is just as lovely as I imagined.  We are doing great, labor went quick and breastfeeding is going good but OUCH, lol.

She was 7lbs 6oz, 19″ long born at 9:24pm.

Here are a few quick pictures!

More soon!

Hey mamas!!  Sorry I havent been around for a long while.  I am still carrying baby girl snuggly inside!! Could be tonight or could be another week or so.  My “estimated” due date is April 9th, so a week from tomorrow!!

Thanks for all the sweet comments, emails and hopefully my next post will be BABY NEWS!! 

So I sew cloth diapers “for a living”.  Sometimes means that my own children go without anything sewn by me as I spend my sewing time making diapers for others baby’s bums. lol.  But today I FINALLY finished the diapers I set out to sew for baby girl.  These are all my own pattern and brand, Bottombumpers!

Handdyed BV and OV fitteds:

Embroidered NB AIOs:

TFL

So the wholesale order I was working on is finally done.  I expect another one in the next few days.  SO in my few days in between I have an Apple Tree Order to do, a small AIO order for a customer I fit in for her and a few other small things to finish up.   I dont have much to show for the last 5 days since I posted… here are some random pics of things I have completed!

These are all embroidered All-in-One Cloth diapers that are stocked at Eclectic Earth under Bottombumpers! :D 

I had a bunch of charm squares left from the Freshcut Heather Bailey line I used for my baby girls nursery/bedding.

Then saw this tutorial on the “Disappearing 9 patch” and thought I would give it a try!  (thanks mama ;)) 

I machine quilted/pieced the whole thing. Used premade quilt binding bias tape for the edges and a natural brushed flannel for the back. I quilted down between the “rows” and then around all the random tiny squares made.. so the machine quilted part on the back is sorta random.. but I like it that way, lol.

Thanks for looking!
