I have been in a sewing mood lately. I made a diaper bag, did a bunch of mending, and sewed up a lighted swag, and a pair of pants for Sam.
I am so pleased with how the diaper bag turned out! I was so scared to make it, as I didn't have a pattern, and just wasn't sure I could do it. I have had the material for about 2 months, and finally got up the courage, yesterday, to get it out, and work on it. I made a pattern out of newspaper, so I could make sure it fit on the material. The material I bought, was actually in a kit for a messenger tote, super small! I bought 2 kits, and hoped I could pull it off. Before I got it out, I prayed and asked for God's direction, in knowing how to do it. Well, I am very pleased with how it turned out.
I am a Grandma, again!! Josh & Brittany had their first baby, a little girl! She weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and they named her Elise. She has lots of dark hair. Poor Brittany had a long, hard labor (about 36 hours), and they had to take Elise by C-section. But, Mom and baby are now doing well.
I saw this diaper bag that Debbie made, and it is TOPS! I think you could go into 'business' making them, it is so beautiful! Makes me almost want to............ well, no, I don't think so... :) ha ha ... The Lord has taken care of that... anyway... folks, this is soft and cuddly and beautiful and Debbie's "additions" to the pattern are practical and useful. It's fun to be a 'great-grandma' and I'm looking forward to enjoying this role. Good going Debbie!
