Here is another project I have been working on for quite a while now. I bought the fabric about a year ago to make a quilt for my little Lottie. I was planning her new bedroom for when we move her out of the nursery. We’re still planning that – just working on finishing the basement so we can move my sewing studio/office downstairs and put her in this bedroom.

Thank goodness for Random.org! I don’t know how I would have picked a winner without them. I am amazed at the response I got to my giveaway. How awesome is Sew, Mama, Sew! for putting that all together for us.
I appreciate all of the comments I received. It is awesome that with the hundreds of giveaways going on, people still left thoughtful, meaningful comments for me – more than just “enter me.” What wonderful people you all are!
Now, here are the winners:
Okay, I know it is nowhere near Christmas, but I’m sharing a Christmas craft today. I just don’t think I can wait until December because I have been working on this for just over two years now. Not two years straight, I did pause to have a couple of kids, start sewing again and complete lots of other crafts. But I did spend several afternoons working on this. Besides, I was listening to Christmas music at work the other day, and I’m just in the Christmas mood. I’m kind of in the Christmas mood most of the year.
I tried my hand at making camera strap covers a few weeks ago. After all, who wants a plain old black strap with the manufacturer’s name in big bold letters? I love the way they turned out! they slide over your camera strap to not only make it look better, but cushion your neck as well. I’ll be listing these in my etsy shop. I’m also thinking of some business card holders to match…
I know, you’re expecting a new bag, right?
You would be wrong, sir. Lately I’ve been sewing a lot… I know you wouldn’t know that because there’s been nothing on my blog or new etsy shop listings. But really I have been sewing a lot. Mostly clothes. I am having so much fun sewing dresses for my little girls and their cousin!
This is Jane – I made a pattern last night and was able to sew this up today.

This one is made with Joel Dewberry’s Modern Meadow line. I absolutely love his fabric designs.
