Some of my most recent craft projects

I've been busy the last few weeks, and so has my sewing machine. Here's just a few of the projects I've cranked out so far:


Another nightgown for my daughter in the same style as the heirloom nightgown I made for her. Here's a close-up view of the top:

This one was made from a men's dress shirt. SuperDad never wore it and the embroidery was beautiful, so I removed the pockets and used this tutorial to make a pretty nightgown for the Princess. I think this one is too pretty! I'm thinking some thicker button-down shirts, maybe in size XL or bigger, would make perfect summer dresses next year!

I also made myself a nightgown with the same tutorial, except I actually used pillowcases for this one. I stitched together two off-white extra long pillowcases and it hits just below my knees. I love it!

My nephews moved to Utah this summer and since winters are a lot colder up there than they are down here, I made them each a flannel patchwork scarf:
And some flannel mittens with a cotton batting layer in between to keep their little fingers extra warm. I used this tutorial for these:
And the Tiny Man requested his own pair of mittens, so I went ahead and made some for the Princess, too. Big Brother is a little big for mittens, I believe. These both have metallic accents (the snowflakes on the green ones and a glitter overlay on the red ones):

Next on my list is scarves for my own boys and some more crayon rolls, to hold 24 crayons this time. Oh, and a baby quilt is in the works for my lovely cousin Lydia and her baby boy (who, by the way, is due to arrive the week after my birthday)!
