Trying out the new machine :D

So my wonderful hubby surprised me with my very own sewing maching for Christmas! Up until now I've had to go to my grandmas to use all her stuff if I wanted to sew. I was so excited!!! I have the best husband!

  [Here she is]

So I went to Joann's as quick as I could to pick up some fabric for my first projects. I got this pretty blue damask print and a pink and white chevron stripe print that I just had to have! So here's what I made: 

With the blue I made a pillow cover for our bed. We recently moved upstairs to be closer to the baby's room and it needed some color. (More of the bedroom makeover to come later!)
Turned out perfect and only took my about 15 minutes! 



I followed this super easy tutorial I found on pintrest! Check it out... HERE


And with the pink....  And a new bow to match of course! Just used a onsie that was a little to small and cut it about 5 inches from the top. Then I cut out the front and back of the skirt and sewed down the sides. Then I ran a baste stich to add the gathers and attached it to the onsie. Pretty simple and so cute! Next time I'll have more pictures I promise! 


Okay... One more picture:
