Ric rac receiving blanket.

If you read my blog I'm sure you noticed that I tend to go on tangents with most of what I sew. Last summer I went on an apron tangent, and haven't made one since, after that was a bib tangent, which I also haven't made since, and now I think that ric rac has won my heart for the time being. At least ric rac can be used for many different projects, so maybe I will be able to keep a bit of variety in my projects.

I made this ric rac trimmed receiving blanket and some matching burp cloths out of Valori Wells Urban Flannel for my little one that is coming in June. I also will be making a tutorial for it soon, even though it's probably simple enough that most people can figure it out on their own. I guess it would be best for beginner sewers, and is a nice-easy-quick project, just the way I like 'em!

Maternity skirt.

Last week I made this maternity skirt. I used the same tutorial that I used for the first maternity skirt I made, with one main change. Since I'm 32 weeks pregnant now and my belly is proof of that, I cut the front top of the skirt into a curve so that the waistband could sit under my belly. Otherwise the fabric will either bunch up under the waistband or you would have to pull the skirt up to an awkward spot on your belly.

Monkey business.

Aren't these the cutest little monkeys you've ever seen? That was what I thought when I first saw them, so naturally I had to steal a picture of them to show all of you! My SIL made them using this free pattern. She seriously always makes the most fun projects and cutest things for her kids, things that I would love to make but probably would never get around to actually doing. I guess posting this might be as close as I ever get to these cute little rascals, but that may just have to do!

And the winner is...
