Itchin' to Sew

So I have had a desire, no, more like a craving (worse than my craving for taco bell chicken burritos during my first trimester) to get a sewing machine and start some baby projects. Actually, it started before I even knew I was pregnant-when I found etsy. Etsy is pretty much the best thing that ever happened to crafts/the internet/cuteness! The only thing is...almost a year later and STILL no sewing machine...sigh... If only we weren't so poor (stupid bills!)....If only I were better at hand sewing...and if only it didn't take so long...double sigh. I feel like I have all this pent up creativity inside of me-pressing against my seams and making it impossible not to think about it! (or that could just be the two babies inside my tummy pressing at the seams?) Here are a few of the types of projects I would like to try my hand at:



(girly but super cute! One day I'll have a girl, right?)









Will my dream of owning a sewing machine ever come true? Will I ever get to make my own personalized baby things? Tune in to "The girl who would like a sewing machine but all she gets is this dumb radio program" next time for more exciting stories! Oh, and donations excepted! ;)

I too have a craving for a sewing machine. I am in no way sewing machine savvy, but I want to learn, and there is no better way to learn then to experiment!!

Oh, and I MUST have some of those ragdoll bunnies. Could they be any cuter!!

I LOVE THE BIBS! They are so so cute.
I've been sewing away for the past couple weeks. I'm making a blanket for Rob's birthday. Hopefully it will be done by then.
Cute projects. I hope you get a sewing machine soon.
