This year I decided to break out my sewing machine and make a few girly Christmas presents for my nieces and LE. The problem with these types of projects is, well lets just be frank, LE. So, a few Saturdays ago the Engineer jumped out of a plane.



And in return he took LE on a long walk to give me some time to sew. (Man, I sound mega lame compared to the Engineer).
On Pinterest I saw an adorable kids apron made from a tea towel and pot holder and decided I could master it. I also found these adorable play tea bags, which were a must to accompany the tea set I had already purchased my oldest niece.

The first apron I made, not too shabby!
Long story short, I couldn't find any adorable tea towel/pot holder sets like the lady on Pinterest, so I used soft microfiber dish cloths and tea towels. I ended up liking my revised idea even better than the original. I know I should take the time to write out a tutorial, but I quite honestly don't feel like it and I forgot to take pics while sewing like a madwoman during my two hours of freedom. Another day...

The tea bags are really cute, but their ultra tininess is a pain in the tush to sew!

My oldest niece, Ada, designed princess crowns for herself and the little girls a few weeks ago when she visited. I then put her designs together and sewed them. They turned out awesome, don't you think?! Ada has always been very arty. I can't wait to see all the fun things she will create as she grows up. Since I had to pull all my supplies out anyway, I had a great excuse to finally sew all the things I've been itching to do. Now I have sewing machine fever.
Want to come watch my kid? I will make your kid something AMAZINGish!
