My Newest Quilt Pattern: Zero!

Image
I finally finished another one! Zero is now up and ready for the world to enjoy. I hope he come together pretty easily for you if you decide to give him a go! He is such a good boy! I have also reordered my Tim Burton patterns so they are now sorted by movie. I hope this makes them easier to find. Let me know what you think.

Compression Sheets

Image
I improvised a couple of compression sheets for my kids out of some spandex/knit fabric they picked online that was on sale. Only ran into two issues. 1. If you let a toddler pick out a fabric sight-unseen, they tend to accidentally pick ones with sparkles on them (sparkles are a bit on the scratchy side). 2. I ended up making them a bit too wide, so I ended up doing that seam twice . (I took one in about 8 inches total, the other about 6). I think that is actually a good thing, because that means I can let it out if they like them and it can grow with them. Total cost? About $40 and maybe 20-30 (including cutting... I got 3 yards, even though I could have probably gotten away with 2, but now I have extra to make some shorts or something) If I got the same kinda thing from Amazon, it would have been $100+ Not too shabby!
