My friend Kelly and I took a "home dec techniques" sewing class a couple of weeks ago and learned so many techniques for home projects included techniques on how to make pillows which was perfect timing for the many pillows that I wanted to make for Christmas gifts.  I have had all the materials for months - zippers, fabric and pillow forms (which took up my whole sewing closet)!

As usual, I procrastinated and waited until the week of Christmas to start the pillows, but I did it...

13 pillows in 1 week! PHEW!
(3 pillows are not shown because they were already delivered)


I must say that these pillows were so fun to make and fueled so many more creative ideas for different styles of pillows, etc. I can't wait to make more!

I also made these cute matching outfits for 2 cousins. 
 I really loved this traditional plaid that I had to HUNT for.

Recently...

Sorry folks, for the delay in post! I have been super busy being a good Georgia Bulldog fan and sewing up a storm! See my recent projects below:

Mason's Christening - I have the CUTEST neice and nephew!!  These frames where made for Mason's Christening.


Katie's Baby Shower - My friend Katie, just gave birth to super cute Wesley. I made some baprons for her shower and all the Moms in the group went crazy for them. I think these might become and staple for every baby shower.



Cameron's Baby Shower - We hosted a Shower for Cameron and baby McElreath at this awesome Cafe in Athens, GA. Cameron picked out the cutest fabric for her diaper bag below.
