For some time now I've been feeling the urge. Inspiration. Desire to MAKE something. I haven't felt that in a while. My latest issue is figuring out HOW. Babies sure are time consuming, aren't they?
The stars must have been in alignment because night I got my chance. As soon as Ceci fell asleep, I made my way to my sewing room. My fabric stash is totally uninteresting to me right now, so I went to my sheets. I gathered some of my favorites. Bright and colorful is what I was feeling.
Once my fabrics were chosen, I started cutting. I felt like I was playing 'beat the clock' to get as much accomplished as I could before Ceci woke up. I managed to get everything cut out.
This morning my crew all went back to school. It was just me and the babe. As soon as she went down for a morning nap, I got busy. Lucky for me, she took a nice long one. I was almost finished, just one last seam to sew when she woke up.
That's okay, I knew I'd get my chance later. And I did as soon as the kids were home from school. Just a few minutes of entertainment by the older ones was enough. The bag was finished!
When I started I wasn't sure what the purpose of the bag would be, but as I started playing with the fabrics I knew that it would be a perfect diaper bag.
Girly, sweet, roomy but not too big, re-purposed materials - everything I could possibly need!
