I made these items for a lady at church, whose husband I help with the accounting and writing checks for our congregation. I don't know her that well, but I work with her husband on a weekly basis so I want to give them a bigger gift than I normally would give.
This is an accordian album. I got the idea from my sister, who got the idea from a gift that she received from her friend Ashley. This project was the biggest little booger I have encountered in a while. It looks fairly simple and straight forward, and it was, but it took FOREVER! I thought this would take 30 minutes to an hour....no, it took more like 3 hours. I bought the supplies to make 5 more of these, but I'm not sure that will be happening any time soon.
This is the front view of it open.
And this is the open view of the back, although this could be decorated too and display pictures as well as the front.
I also made this baby wipe case. This was my first try at covering a wipe case, all in all, I think it went ok, and I learned some pointers for the next one that I make. I love this fabric by the way. I found it at JoAnns. It's not the print that I really wanted, but the one that I really wanted was flannel, and I thought that cotton would be better.
And of course as usual, I made a set of burp cloths in matching fabric.
I hope she likes it!
They're so easy to make, and they all turn out sooooo cute! I hope Lane likes hers as much as I do!
