Sewing and Coloring

I had three projects I wanted to get accomplished this long Labor day weekend, and here it is Sunday afternoon and they are done. First on my list of things to do was was a stop at JoAnns fabric where they are having a huge sale, 50% off all their baby fabric and fleece, to pick up material for a nursing cover and a car seat tent. I also picked up some dye to spruce up a few of the onesies I have been given that have seen their share of spit-up and blow-ups already.

I used the tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets for the nursing cover. I added a small corner of fleece to both corners and my piece of boning was a little longer but it all worked out, and I love it. I have lots of leftover fabric and I am going to use it to make a few matching burp cloths.





Then I made a car seat tent loosely following a tutorial from Scraps N' Strings. I did not use the binding around the edges I just sewed around it to give it a finished look. And I used snuggle flannel for both sides since we are going to be spending a lot of time watching hockey games.





Lastly I used Dylon to dye a handful of used onesies. I really like the results, except that I think I splashed some of the orange into the other colors so a few of them look 'dirty' but I have plans to fix that :)
