Basket Liners for Baby's Nursery

ONE DOWN...FIVE TO GO!

I'm making new basket liners for 6 baskets that will be in the baby's room. Turning them from boy/blue to girlie/flowers. I love the fabric, and it matches the bedding so well....Can't wait to post pictures of everything all finished. I hope I can get it all done in time before "Baby Girl Johnson" arrives.

I used the basket liner tutorial from Running with Scissors. I didn't cut my existing liner, but traced it onto paper and then used the paper pattern to cut out my new fabric.

My secret to saving fabirc: The ties don't go all the way around the basket.

They just go about 1/2" into the hem.  It still has enough tension to keep the liner on the basket,

but saved tons of FABRIC and TIME.

Top stitched around the top of the basket for a more professional look, and to strengthen the seam.

Oh so pretty! I really like how it turned out!

DIY Tripod Bag {Sew Neat!} Repurpose PJ Pants

I finally sewed a tripod bag. I'm very pleased with the result. The body is padded and quilted with a lining on the inside for added protection and strength. I also added a shoulder strap, round bottom, and drawstring top (used the drawstring from the waistband of the pj's).
Materials:
1 pant leg (I chose to use some PJ pants I never used)
1 lanyard (used to make the strap)
2 D-rings
batting
(general notions: pins, thread, etc...)

Here are a few pics.

Above: Attached strap detail and D-ring.
Below: Round bottom

ABOVE: Pins are holding the batting and lining in place as I sew the criss-cross pattern on the whole piece.

BELOW: Here is the finished quilting detail.

Here are my pants AFTER the project.

I'm thinking of making this plastic bag holder with the other pant leg.

P.S. I wish I would have taken pics throughout the sewing process...I will for the next project.

My Custom "Wordle"

Here is my rockin' WORDLE. You can make your own Wordle by clicking HERE.
My favorite color is orange, but I like this combination of greens and browns.
This is only one of my word cloud creations. Once I started I couldn't quit! :-) Make your own and send it to me. I'd love to see what ya'll come up with. :-)
