Baby Blanket






My cousin Sarah had a baby recently and I wanted to make her something unique as a gift. She had chosen "the Jungle" as the theme for the baby's room and I just happened to find this really cute print at the store. So I made a little baby quilt ( well not so little, its about 3.5 by 4 feet). I sewed around all the little squares on the print to really make it look quilted. It was a new experience for me to quilt something. And of course a challenge considering that home sewing machines were not made fro large projects like this. But as Tim Gunn says " Make it work", and I did. Everyone loved it, even though the corners were a little off. Lesson learned: be meticulous about the measurements!

Scrubs.....revamped







So my auntie is a vet tech and wanted me to do some scrubs for her. I went out and found a very simple pattern and did some alterations to the design, because omg it was boring. So here is the end result. Everyone loves the sleeve design. My auntie loves the design because she can wear her long sleeve turtle necks underneath and still have full maneuverability. These were done in March.
