Do you think I can sew???

Since we don't have anything to use our spare bedroom for it is my new craft room.
My Mother-in-law gave me this sewing table, fabric scraps and basket of sewing treats for Christmas. My mom gave Jacob and I the sewing machine for Christmas. I am going to try to sew something this week but who knows. Next semester I am going to take a sewing class, then I will be a pro.

My mother-in-law told me they were having a sale at Joanne's on patterns for $1 each. I had to just go look and then I got addicted. We got 18 patterns and saved almost $300.00. I got one for Table Toppers ( Place mats, table cloths and table runners), one for window covers, three for outfits for me, and outfit for my mom, 2 for Halloween costumes, and 10 for different baby stuff. I figures the baby stuff would come in handy for all the baby's that people are having in our ward. If I ever learn how to sew.
This is the pattern that Jacob bought me for Valentine's day. I thought it was super sweet. He wanted me to have something to learn on. Then he said that someday our baby could wear it.
Denise, This one is for you. These two dresses are super cute and they would look adorable on Alia. You can look them up online and see which one is your favorite or if you even like them. I can tell you the number so you can look it up.
This one Jacob thought would look cute on Alia too, so we got this one for an idea.
I thought this was super cool because then you can make you crib set in any color or pattern you want to. It doesn't look to hard either.
This one I just thought looked fun.
I really like this one because it has diaper bags, burp cloths, changing pads, poppy pillow, and bib. They are probably super hard but I am going to be a pro, lets just remember that.

I love it when they have pattern sales ... we have every disney princess and Dorothy and some mid-evil dress ones now if I only had the time to make them! I made Kya's bumpers and we used them for our first 3 it's very easy.

Cute patterns! I learned to sew when I was prego with Madyson, but I haven't done very much since then. I really want to get back into it...maybe in my spare time. :)

Super cool, Dani! Those baby things will come in really handy. I would've loved to have picked out a specific fabric for all those things like crib stuff and bags and whatnot. Super cool. Good luck with that, I wish I could sew!
