Wishing I had time to futz with my sewing machine, but I've mostly been knitting. I've made a Baby Surprise jacket, and matching hat, though the hat seems really big. I've made a pair of booties. And I've been working on a massive baby blanket (3.5 ft by 3.5 ft) out of yarn leftovers and single skeins, all from my stash. I have 6 inches to go, and am just about out of all of the smaller balls I was using, so it's working out great.
I'll try and take some pictures and post them soon.
I don't know how much of the list I'll get done, if any, but I still want to make at least one more hat, a kicking bag, at least one pair of longies, and a couple pairs of mitts. Mostly out of stash yarn, though I might try and get something softer for the hat and mitts.
I also really would like to make a mobile for this baby, so that I can swap out the mobile objects. I'll make high-contrast black and white objects for the first few months (possibly the faces of family members), and then maybe some brightly coloured birds for the older months.
I have a number of home-based projects to work on in the next little while too, like sewing curtains for DD's room, the living room, the kitchen, and all of our closet doors (oh, I guess I need to futz with the machine after all) though once we are unpacked, I'll likely get DH set up to do the actual sewing. He likes doing long straight seams, which I find boring.
I also have all the supplies I need to make a circular braided rug out of old t-shirts. Though this seems to be a pipe-dream project at the moment.
Last time I tried, I think I must've left out one step because whenever I'd start sewing, the thread would come out of the needle and I got so frustrated! I wonder if I can still find instructions for such an old machine... It would be fun to make a simple baby blanket! I hope to someday be ambitious enough to make my own cloth diapers too.
