Another Finished Project!

One of my New Year's Goal was to sew more. I'm doing pretty good so far. I finished another pair of baby slippers today to send off to sweet Pepper along with the lovie/tag blanket shown below.

Finishing projects feels so good!

I wonder how long it will take me to get to the post office?

Baby Slippers

My cousin Jamie found a cute little tutorial on how to make cloth baby shoes on the blog Stardust Shoes and passed it on to me. Thank you Joanna for showing us how to make these cute little cloth baby shoes.
My pieces almost ready to assemble. The first slipper took me a bit because I was triple checking the tutorial as I was sewing. The second slipper came together much faster. I also cut out enough pieces to make two pairs of slippers.
Instead of using vinyl for the bottoms I found the grip fabric that is used in most footed pajamas. I found it with notions in my local Beverly's.
I used minky fabric for the inside. I'm not sure I will do this again. Maybe it will get easier with practice.
This pair is for my sweet niece that I will have met by the time this post has posted. And the second pair whose parts just need to be sewn together is for Miss Pepper. Hopefully I will get them done before she is taller than me.

Tooth Fairy Pouch

Tonight my little girl will be placing her first two teeth under her pillow. She is only 4 years old and it caught me off guard. Today we made a pouch for her teeth. I added a long tether just in case it is hard to get the pouch out from under her pillow. I'm new to this Tooth Fairy stuff.
