Sewing

Today, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
I've been out most of the day, and decided to post Patriotic projects that I have created.

Starting with a baby bib made from a star fabric and a stripe fabric. The "Born in the USA was embroidered before I put the bib together, then satin stitched the star fabric onto the stripes.
Added velcro to the neckline for a closure.

Quilting

These are two reversible quilts that I made and donated in April to the Sewing for Babies group. Two different sizes and fabrics from my stash. You quilt as you go by layering front, batting and back together and stitch the seam, then flip and add another row. Repeat and then flip the other way to cover the previous seams. I had to scrap the binding on the second quilt which is also smaller because I ran out of the fabrics that I was using.

Sewing for Babies

Once a month, they have a Baby Sew Day at my local sewing machine dealer( Pins and Needles) where we create items babies in need for Mccafferty House. It is usually the third Tuesday of the month and that's where I was yesterday from about 10:00am til 3:00pm. They also have cutting days on Wednesday mornings and put together kits for others to take home and do at their own time and return the next month. These are the knot hat kits that I serged for them last month. Some of the items that are sewn are: quilts, booties, gowns, other type of hats, knit and crochet items are also donated. So many people donate their time and it is my small part to help when I can.
