Baptism Shoes

Colter needed some shoes to go with the outfit he will be wearing for his Baptism in two weeks. Instead of buying some (or having Grandma buy them as she was going to), I decided to sew my own. I've been wanting a sewing project (small sewing project) and this was just right! I used about a 1/4 yd of white flannel and two little cross iron-on appliques. They just fit him!
(I was surprised that they only took part of one day to make. BB (before baby) sewing took me a lot longer - I think watching TV at the same time slowed me down :-)

Patches

Ahhh.... Some sort of sewing has occurred in my world. Although it was only putting patches on Kory's jeans, it was still sewing. I kinda like the ripped jean look.... brings back memories of early 90s flannel and grunge music. Kory on the other hand, thinks we are so poor we can't afford a new pair of jeans!

Next up, I've decided to try to make little white slipper shoes for Colter's baptism outfit. Only have a few weeks to complete. The pressure is ON!
