Baby Project #2: Carseat Cover with Peekaboo Window

Wow this only took two hours. This is going to Velcro onto our future infant carseat. I love the window bc I used to not be able to see Maddie and Mui Mui when they were sleeping in their carseats.

Fabric is gender neutral (or that was my intention) since we don't know the sex of the baby yet! And we just decided on which stroller travel system to buy (who knew there were systems? Sounds like a solar system. So once we register for it and someone buys it or we buy it, I will finally get to grace the carseat with this covering.

Oh, and Justin thinks I just made a burka :/ (see last picture)









Update: August 3, 2013: 33 weeks and its a girl!

We were gifted with a Graco stroller and infant seat (thanks mom and dad!)

So now I can demonstrate how this fits!

Who's that peeking in there? Little lamb, thanks to Auntie Steffy

Little lamb and it's friend say hello :)

We are ready to take you home in this, Baby girl Wong!

Baby Project #1: Changing Pad Cover

While Justin has been gone, I have gotten some sewing done. The first thing I have made for the baby is a changing pad cover. Well, two, but the second picture is blurry and I will have to retake it.
The prudent baby tutorial (see my Pinterest) was pretty spot on. Two covers took me two hours. Less than most projects take me, so that's why I made the second one. Who knows how long I will feel good enough to keep this up!

Burp cloths and receiving blanket

A pre-baby gift for Kathy and Edwin who are expecting a little girl in May!

Eventually I will get braver and sew a flannel blanket with two types of fabric :)



Make-up Bag

This bag is for my friend Rita, she is very sweet and her birthday was last week. We first bonded after running into each other at Jo-Ann's, where we were both looking for fabric (coincidence? I think not). Since, then our friendship has blossomed beyond sewing to eternal matters of the heart! Thanks to her, I got a lifetime stock of zippers (one pictured here) for $2.00 at a craft show we attended!
