Feature Friday–Flannel Washcloths

Custom Order–Change Table Sheets

A very very nice lady that I know is in charge of the cleaning at her church. The mattress for the changing table is an odd size, and she needed some new sheets for it. The sheets that she has now are also homemade, so that says that someone else couldn’t find fitting sheets for the mattress either. :)

I wasn’t actually going to post this, because…. well…. the sheets don’t really fit. :S I thought I would post them anyways, just to let you know that not everything I make is perfect!!!!! :) They look beautiful, especially with the adorable flannel prints and surged edges, but they are too short. I thought I made them the same size as the original sheets, but alas! I didn’t!!! Next time I am have to take measurements of the mattress first. :) Now I have to make another two sheets, and these will either be re-purposed into something else or given to someone who has a mattress that is a bit smaller.

And that being said, I can make custom-fitting sheets for you as well!!! lol. (you are probably doubting me greatly right now, but I am willing to give it a try again, if you will give me another chance).

Custom crib sheets, bassinet sheets, change table sheets and more!!!! Send me the exact dimensions and fabric preferences, and we can go from there!!!

So here, they are: very pretty, but exactly not fitting. :)

My siblings have dubbed this fabric the ‘Wonder Bread Monkey’ fabric.

 

Update–What is going on in May

For those of you who have visited the Etsy Shop recently, you might have noticed that we are on holidays for the month of May. That means that we won’t be posting anything new in the shop (after today), but everything in the shop is still for sale!!! :) I will still be taking custom orders, as long as you are willing to wait until June to have them completed.
The reason the shop is ‘on holidays’ is because I am working ridiculously long hours, 6 days a week, for the month of May. I am literally taking a break from everything but work and church. The job is pretty fun, and pays well, so it is totally worth it, but I will be glad to come back and start sewing again!!! (I don’t think I will stop completely, because I don’t think that will ever happen!!! :) But, it will be so slow that it isn’t worth having the shop open.)
I will still be posting Feature Friday posts (the beauty of scheduled posts), :) so feel free to keep visiting the blog and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook. I will hopefully still be posting stuff on there.
So… this is the last of my posting for a bit, and hope to see you again at the beginning of June!!! :)

And here is a glimpse of spring in Ontario to brighten your day!!!

Sewing for Me–Lace Infinity Scarf

Yes, this has been blogged already, but anyways. :) I thought I would share with you something I recently made for myself.

This scarf is my new favorite. It is light, perfect for the summer, and the lacey pattern of the fabric adds a touch of feminine flair (which, as you might have noticed, I am always looking for). :) It also is versatile, and goes with almost anything!!!

The best part… I got the material for less than $1.00…. one more of the awesome deals I got when I worked at Fabricland (there is something else coming soon that I also got there on super-sale!!! Seriously, employees get bonuses, especially when a store is closing).

And… no, I don’t have a tutorial. I kinda went by the seat of my pant anyways. But someday I am going to have to create tutorials… but I am simply too lazy to do it!!!! I should really share all of this knowledge I have learned about altering any pattern or already made garment with you people. I learned from others, and I should share it with you… maybe when the crazy month of May is finished.
