Seams Simple Enough...doesn't it? and a giveaway!

Welcome to the first giveaway of 2012!  I've promised long ago that this will never be a giveaway themed blog but I do like to offer something once or twice a month especially when it involves promoting other small businesses!  I have some great things lined up so I hope you'll stick around!  

Onto the good stuff!  

Welcome Seams Simple Enough!!  Seams Simple Enough is new to the online selling world and is here to celebrate their public grand opening and the release of their newest sewing pattern.  Her newest pattern is for a Bumbo seat cover pattern and let me tell you this baby fits like a glove!  PERFECT FIT!  No loosey goosey areas at all!  I wish my boys were still little enough to sit in a bumbo!  I could have used a cover for sure, I hated when their little legs would stick a little to the seat.  With the cover that is a thing of the past!  Toss in the fact that you can make them whatever print you'd like!  Favorite colors, match your nursery, embroider a name, possibilities are endless.  Seams Simple Enough??  Yep, even a beginner can do this!

Bumbo not your need?...she also has hat patterns for these upcycled sweater hats.   Can I please have the hats and those sweet babies!  These are perfect for newborn photos and everyday wear!  They are the most precious hats!  The pattern includes sizes from newborn - child and is geared for the beginner sewer.

Men's pant legs to baby shorts

What do you do with random half leg scraps? Well if you aren't me you probably throw them away. If you are me you definitely may be tempted to steal them and throw them in a pile with great intentions of creating something amazing only to forget the damn pile and start on something new.

Not today my friends...not today!

Chris cut off the legs of some pants (from his military days that he never wore) making them into more practical (will actually get worn) shorts. I of course snatched those sad little half legs and decided they would become a matching set of shorts for Sawyer...and I made them! Woo Hoo! I started and finished a project! That alone for me is an amazing feat but to do it in a morning! Holy Moses this girl is a changed woman! Ok, not quite ;) Either way, they are no where near perfect but they do the trick and were FREE! Love me some FREE!

Now I just need to mend his work uniforms he asked me to do a month ago...

or maybe later ;)
