Here are the fruits of my day off last Monday.
Some appliqued onesies for some wonderful ladies in my ward.
I really liked this dress I got at Downeast Outfitters in Utah, but I didn't like that I felt like I always had to wear it with a white camisole because of the low neckline. I had a navy blue ribbed tank top that I never wear, so I sewed it into the dress using seamlines that were already there. I also took the bottom half of the tank and made ribbed sleeve extensions because I always felt like the sleeves were too short, too. Enter: something I will wear! (with any color I feel like)
Some mending. Not fun but necessary if you want your husband to support your habit.
A scarf my sister sent me a link to. As I was doing it, I thought it was way too much work, but now I love it so much, I think it may have been worth the work. My face is not in the picture because I wore no makeup on Monday.
The best thing that came of Monday was James making me this awesome new sewing table that is lower than a normal table, so the sewing machine is at the perfect height. It is big enough to cut, keep tools, and keep my sewing machine on. Before I was sewing on the end of my scrapbook table and it really wasn't big enough for cutting and sewing. I love it so much. James implored his friend, Aaron Hales, to help him. Thanks for the help!

I LOVE the way the scarf turned out. Now I will have to make one...
And I am extremely jealous of your sewing table. That is awesome! All of your projects turned out super cute. Did you just cut the fabric for the onsies by hand?
super duper cute stuff! I love the scarf. I saw the tutorial when she posted it and i've got it saved. maybe now i will actually have to get to it!
The onesies I just added the logos to, I didn't sew them myself. I WISH I was that talented and patient.
Whoa! The scarf is way cute, nice job on the onsies and dress :) And I wish I had a sewing machine and cool table to put it on :)
i laughed out loud that you cut your face out of the scarf picture- haha you're so funny. and TALENTED! :)
LOVE that scarf. I might have to try that sometine! What a wonderful hubby you have that makes special spaces for your crafty stuff.
You are so creative, Christy! I do really like that scarf, too. You crack me up, about telling us why you had no face in the picture. :)
Love the scarf!! What I wouldn't give to be sew-crafty. The possibilities are endless for you people. BTW, you look super skinny in the scarf picture.
