First on the agenda though was a winter hat for my daughter now thats it's starting to get cold. We haven't pulled out the snowsuit yet since I put a blanket on her while she's in the carseat or stroller but her head is still exposed and gets pretty chilly (she's an ice cube baby). I knit this in Alpaca yarn in a beautiful shade of purple although it's hard to see here. Basic 2x2 rib done big enough, I hope, to fit all winter!
Yesterday I managed to make 2 of the small sewing projects I had. This was a taggie blanket made for my daughter. I also used a few fabrics with different textures (fleece, flannel, corduroy, polka dot minky) to add to sensory aspect of it. I only did the ribbon on one side because she loves to rub burp cloths against her face so I wanted some to be smooth for that purpose. I thought this would come together real quick but ended up taking 2 hours. It's worth it though because it turns out she LOVES it!! I think I will be making a couple more for her since she likes them.
The other thing I made were a set of seat belt covers for my son. His old pair were getting quite worn and they have since marked the price up from $2.99 to $6.99!! Yeah totally not paying 6 or 7 bucks for them. I traced the set I had to make these and they are perfect. While I would have not picked this fabric for such a small project he did and he likes them so that's all that matters. I have another set for my daughter all cut out but I ran out of velcro.
