Sew like crazy

I have finished up my sewing projects for Christmas. I am one of those people who loves fabric, and I buy it with good intentions. I just find myself so swamped with other "duties" that I seldom find the time to sew. Recently I organized all the fabric I had, and set up my sewing machine back in our bedroom. I realized I had accumulated three tubs FULL of fabric. I decided that my goal this year would be to make as much as I could in the way of gifts, without buying any more fabric. I came across this camo fabric, I think I've had at least 3 years. My original intentions were to make matching jammies for the boys. Like that ever happened! So instead I decided to make them matching rag quilts. As of Tuesday I was only about 1/2 done with the first one. I spent most of nap time sewing and I finished them both yesterday! I can now wrap them up for the boys for Christmas! I also made Anna a pillow for her new big girl bed. We ended up finding a clearance deal on a quilt for her bed, but I still wanted something personal and home-made for her bedroom. So I took scraps of her nursery bedding along with some other scraps I had from another rag quilt and pieced them all together for a very shabby chic look. I also made another pillow like hers, for a friend, and one apron. All in all, I spent $0, it was all fabric from my tubs. Still, I haven't made much of a dent in the fabric! But, I'm glad to have done a few projects. Now I can fully say I am READY for Christmas!!
