DIY Recliner Pillow

I have a Dear friend that needed a pillow for her recliner that

would stay put. You know how annoying it is when

you lean forward and your pillow falls down behind you?

I wish I could say that I came up with this idea, but I did not.

But it's genius. There is a heavier stuffed pillow on one side

a lighter stuffed pillow on the other, All you have to do is turn 

it around! Mr. Incredible already wants one for his recliner.

ooooohhhhh...I love a good Christmas gift idea ;)

Scrub Top Re-Make

I bought a cute scrub top over the internet.

BIG mistake! I should know better than

to buy any brand that I have not tried on before.

This is the Re-make Picture

 This is the original look of the top (below). It was too tight

under the arms, too short and the pockets were too high.

a-n-d..... too late to return.

So I had two choices. Get rid of it, or re-make it :)

I removed the pockets, hem and sleeves.

I gave it more length by ironing out the original hem and 

adding some grey fabric to be folded under for the new hem.

Then I lowered the pockets as far as I could.

 Easy Peasy right? lol, well no. For starters I could not find

a pattern on Pinterest that I liked or that would work for the 

purpose of giving me more space under the arm.

So......

I made my own......

and.......eh...hem....

fudged my way through uncharted territory.

after much frustration and experimenting. I accomplished

my goal. The shirt looks great, will work great for summer

and can be worn with a shirt underneath when it's cold.

Note to self. Stop buying clothes over the internet! 

and if  a shirt doesn't fit. Give it away.

Baby Knee Pad's

 lil' Miss Fia, needed some knee pads for 

protection when crawling around on

hardwood floors.

Enter: Walmart clearance tights

 girls size 12, too big for a baby right?

NOT.....

 I chopped them up :) lots of extra parts 

for future projects. I stitched together 

2 pcs. thin batting, tucked them inside

the wrong side of fabric, held with a 

zigzag, and finished them up. Note to self:

next time make the top of the fold longer 

so it can be folded over to make a more

tidy finish.
