Moving On....

So, I realize I never did get around to making the mittens. I don't know why, but I felt like the sewing stuff needed to be on the back burner for a while. That and the fact that I have all these neat patterns for baby clothes, but no money for fabric. Why is fleece the only thing that's ever on a good sale?

Anyway. For Christmas I ended up with a new serger (sewing machine count is up to 3 now). I have no idea on Earth how to work the darn thing. I did get it out its box and put it on my little sewing table so I could admire while I watch TV in the evenings. Someday soon I will get brave. I promise.

My most recent project - right before the serger - has been car seat covers. We got new car seats for little miss Katie, and the first week we had it she had a poop explosion a road trip home from the in-laws. Because of this I decided car seat covers were a must. I had some extra leopard print fleece (like I said, it's cheap!) that I've been dying to get out of my basket forever and used the original car seat lining to make the pattern pieces - it was actually tougher than I expected, this time. I need some elastic still, and then it will be done. I will post a pic or two when I get that done. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some elastic this weekend.

Hope people are out there reading this :) But if not, it gives me a place to just talk :)
