I've done it again

I am beyond tickled with myself this time.

I've had a project idea for a few weeks now,

perfected

in my mind, at least.

I searched online for a tutorial;

no need to reinvent the wheel.

Didn't find one

so a week or so ago

I made my pattern (out of newspaper, of course)

Today's shopping trip

was to buy cheap - or rather - inexpensive fabric

so I could do a test run.

I was so certain it would work, though

that I bought enough different fabrics for six of them.

I reasoned

that if adjustments were deemed necessary

2/3 yard would still be enough.

It would be naptime when we got back home

so I'd have time to sew.

I'd timed it perfectly.

But

I was unsure of my fabric content

so I knew it'd be foolish of me to not pre-wash.

argh.

I decided to be patient and throw them in the washer.

I added towels to the dryer

so it'd go faster.

I was just beginning to iron my fabrics

when Lexi woke up from her nap.

Rats.

But

I've managed to steal a few minutes here and there

and

viola

I finished my first one.

and

it's perfect!

No adjustments needed.

And

it's so darn cute!!
