Stuff I've Made - Sew and Tell

    Pregnancy insomnia has done this momma some good! I used those wee hours of quiet to finish up a few quick projects that have been looming in my cabinet and to-do list.

First are some nursing pads. I LOVE the nursing pads from Lansinoh. The are thin enough so that it's not blatantly obvious that you're wearing them, but still absorb a TON. Which is important, especially in those early days when the plumbing is still finding it's groove. But they are pretty pricey! So I took some leftover flannel, fleece and a waterproof mattress pad we used on Riley's bed, sandwiched them together and made some nursing pads! I'll wear these while at home, then save my precious Lansinoh pads for when we leave the house. Which isn't very often. :-)

Next up is my Bible cover. My Bible is pretty old, I've had it for at least ten years. So I wanted something to help protect it, hold all the notes and bulletins from church and had handles to make it easier to carry. I bought this fabric a while ago and couldn't decide what to do with it...apron? skirt? toaster cover? I thought it was perfect for a Bible cover so whipped one up!

It even has a nifty pocket on the inside.

(Not sure why the picture is sideways, but I'm too lazy to fix it.) :)

Last but certainly not least are some cloth blocks. I've seen a few other bloggers (Like Rachel) make them and wanted to give them a try. They are bigger than I thought they would be, so I may cut the rest of them down a bit. So far they are being used as things for the kids (And the hubs!) to throw at each other. Since they are soft, I'm okay with that!

  So there are my sew and tell projects! What have you been up to?
