Sewing Addict???

Since I started really getting into sewing, I realized that if I don't sew for a couple of days or don't have a project to work on, I crave a sewing session.  Hello, my name is Karrie.  I'm addicted to sewing.  Maybe it's not just a sewing thing.  I think it's a creating thing in general.  If I can't sew, like when I break my only needle, I will find something to make in some other way.  

One day last week I got the urge to sew something and had seen this adorable baby doll diaper tutorial from The Cottage Home.  I knew my daughter would love to have some reusable diapers for her babies so while she was at school I whipped up a few with some scrap fabric I had.

She loved them!  Of course, I can't just leave it at that.  I had to ask her if the babies needed matching dresses.  So I made three dresses.  Super easy, super simple dresses, but again Savannah was very happy!

Then, I decided the babies needed matching headbands as well.  (Sorry, no individual pictures for those!)  So I was watching Savannah play with her babies, dressing them and changing their diapers.  At one point she even pretends to wipe their little bottoms and says they are stinky.  Light bulb!!!  I go back to my sewing machine and quickly create a little wipes case, and then stuff it with little squares of white fabric I had laying around.  How cute is that? :)

So my little project that started with this:                Ended like this:

Yes, you can laugh at me if you'd like.  Sad to say, there would have been even more, but when I asked if she needed a diaper bag for her stuff, she said she already had one.  I think a little bit bigger diapers need to made though in the near future.  These don't fit her Build-A-Bear animals.  We can't have that now!  :)

The great thing about all of this is that Savannah was happy, I was happy, and we were spending some great mommy-daughter time together.  It doesn't get any better than that. :)


P.S.  The few people that have actually seen the diapers, including my husband, thinks they would be a great thing to offer to others.  So if you have a little girl in your life who needs some diapers for their babies, let me know.  I'm going to make up some little packs with 3 diapers and a fake wipes case.  Think of what a great little gift this could be for Christmas!  Look for them in my Etsy store.
